1 Kings 11:26-28

New King James Version

Jeroboam’s Rebellion

²⁶ Then Solomon’s servant, ^(A)Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zereda, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, ^(B)also ^(C)rebelled against the king.

²⁷ And this is what caused him to rebel against the king: ^(D)Solomon had built the Millo and ^[a]repaired the damages to the City of David his father. ²⁸ The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was ^(E)industrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.
