Jeroboam Rebels Against Solomon

²⁶ Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled^(A) against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.

² When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled^(A) from King Solomon), he returned from^[a] Egypt.

¹⁵ So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord,^(A) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah^(B) the Shilonite.
