11:011:027 And this was the cause that he lifted up
his hand against the
king:
Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the
city
of David his father.
11:011:028 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of
valour: and Solomon
seeing
the young man that he was industrious, he made him
ruler
over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
11:011:029 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam
went out of
Jerusalem,
that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in
the
way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and
they
two
were alone in the field:
11:011:030 And Ahijah caught the new garment that
was on him, and rent it
in
twelve pieces:
11:011:031 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten
pieces: for thus saith
the
lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the
kingdom
out
of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to
thee:
11:011:032 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant
David’s sake, and
for
Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen
out of all
the
tribes of Israel:)
11:011:033 Because that they have forsaken me, and
have worshipped
Ashtoreth
the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the
Moabites,
and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and
have
not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in
mine
eyes,
and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David
his
father.
11:011:034 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom
out of his hand: but
I
will make him prince all the days of his life for David
my
servant’s
sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments
and
my statutes:
11:011:035 But I will take the kingdom out of his
son’s hand, and will
give
it unto thee, even ten tribes.
11:011:036 And unto his son will I give one tribe,
that David my servant
may
have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city
which
I
have chosen me to put my name there.
11:011:037 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign
according to all
that
thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
11:011:038 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto
all that I command
thee,
and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my
sight,
to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my
servant
did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure
house,
as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
11:011:039 And I will for this afflict the seed of
David, but not for
ever.
11:011:040 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam.
And Jeroboam arose,
and
fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was
in
Egypt
until the death of Solomon.
