1 Kings 11:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ In addition to the trouble that Hadad caused, Rezon was Israel’s rival as long as Solomon lived. He ruled Aram and despised Israel.

²⁶ There was also Jeroboam, who was the son of Nebat and an Ephrathite from Zeredah. His mother Zeruah was a widow. He was one of Solomon’s officers, but he rebelled against the king.

²⁷ This was the situation when he rebelled against the king: Solomon was building the Millo ^[a] and repairing a break in the ⌞wall of⌟ the City of David.
