Contextual Overview

²⁶ Jeroboam was from the town of Zeredah in Ephraim. His father Nebat had died, but his mother Zeruah was still alive. Jeroboam was one of Solomon's officials, but even he rebelled against Solomon. ²⁷ Here is how it happened: While Solomon's workers were filling in the land on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the city walls, ²⁸ Solomon noticed that Jeroboam was a hard worker. So he put Jeroboam in charge of the work force from Manasseh and Ephraim. ²⁹One day when Jeroboam was leaving Jerusalem, he met Ahijah, a prophet from Shiloh. No one else was anywhere around. Suddenly, Ahijah took off his new coat and ripped it into twelve pieces. ³¹ Then he said: Jeroboam, take ten pieces of this coat and listen to what the Lord God of Israel says to you. "Jeroboam, I am the Lord God, and I am about to take Solomon's kingdom from him and give you ten tribes to rule. ³² But Solomon will still rule one tribe, since he is the son of David my servant, and Jerusalem is my chosen city. ³³ "Solomon and the Israelites are not like their ancestor David. They will not listen to me, obey me, or do what is right. They have turned from me to worship Astarte the goddess of Sidon, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of Ammon. ³⁴ "Solomon is David's son, and David was my chosen leader, who did what I commanded. So I will let Solomon be king until he dies. ³⁵ Then I will give you ten tribes to rule, ³⁶ but Solomon's son will still rule one tribe. This way, my servant David will always have a descendant ruling in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to be worshiped.
