1 Kings 11:26-31 Jeroboam rebelled against the king. He was the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ Jeroboam rebelled against the king. He was the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow. ²⁷ This is how he rebelled: Solomon was building the Millo (supporting terraces) and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David. ²⁸ Jeroboam was a capable and responsible man. Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph. ²⁹ When Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road. Ahijah was wearing a new robe. They were by themselves in the open country. ³⁰ Ahijah took his new robe in his hands and tore it into twelve pieces. ³¹ He said to Jeroboam: »Take ten of the parts, for this is what Jehovah said: ‘I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force. I will give ten tribes to you.
