1 Kings 11:26-28

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁶ ¶ Likewise Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s slave, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.

²⁷ And this was why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon in building Millo, closed the breach of the city of David, his father.

²⁸ And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour, and Solomon, seeing that the young man was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
