Yerobeam adalah seorang tangkas; ketika Salomo melihat, bahwa orang muda itu seorang yang rajin bekerja, maka ditempatkannyalah dia mengawasi semua pekerja wajib dari keturunan Yusuf.
Adapun Yerobeam itu ia seorang gagah berani, maka apabila dilihat raja Sulaiman akan orang muda itu rajin pada pekerjaannya, diangkat baginda akan dia menjadi kepala atas segala orang bekerja yang dari pada isi rumah Yusuf.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour,.... A man of great strength of body, and fortitude of mind:
and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious; in what he was set about in the above buildings and repairs:
he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph; the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, to be a prince or a deputy governor of them; or rather to collect the king's tax from them, or the revenues of that part of the country, see Proverbs 22:29.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A mighty man of valor - Here “a man of strength and activity.” It is a vague term of commendation, the exact force of which must be fixed by the context. See Ruth 2:1; 1 Samuel 9:1, etc.
Solomon made Jeroboam superintendent of all the forced labor (“the charge”) exacted from his tribe - the tribe of Ephraim - during the time that he was building Millo and fortifying the city of Jerusalem 1 Kings 9:15.
