1 Kings 11:27

²⁵this is the mischief which Hadad did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.

²⁶And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the Ephraimite of Zeredah, the son of a widow, was servant of Solomon.

— 1 Kings 11:27 —

²⁸And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.

²⁹And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Ahijah was clad with a new garment, and they two were alone in the field.
