1 Kings 11:28-31

11:28

And the man
<0376>

Jeroboam
<03379>

[was] a mighty man
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_:

and Solomon
<08010>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

the young man
<05288>

that he was industrious
<06213> (8802) <04399>_,

he made him ruler
<06485> (8686)

over all the charge
<05447>

of the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

{was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}

11:29

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>

when Jeroboam
<03379>

went out
<03318> (8804)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that the prophet
<05030>

Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>

found
<04672> (8799)

him in the way
<01870>_;

and he had clad
<03680> (8693)

himself with a new
<02319>

garment
<08008>_;

and they two
<08147>

[were] alone in the field
<07704>_:

11:30

And Ahijah
<0281>

caught
<08610> (8799)

the new
<02319>

garment
<08008>

that [was] on him, and rent
<07167> (8799)

it [in] twelve
<08147> <06240>

pieces
<07168>_:

11:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to Jeroboam
<03379>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

thee ten
<06235>

pieces
<07168>_:

for thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Behold, I will rend
<07167> (8802)

the kingdom
<04467>

out of the hand
<03027>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

ten
<06235>

tribes
<07626>

to thee:
