1 Kings 11:25-27
New English Translation

25 He was Israel’s enemy throughout Solomon’s reign and, like Hadad, caused trouble. He loathed[a] Israel and ruled over Syria.

26 Jeroboam son of Nebat, one of Solomon’s servants, rebelled against[b] the king. He was an Ephraimite[c] from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. 27 This is what prompted him to rebel against the king:[d] Solomon built a terrace, and he closed up a gap in the wall of the city of his father David.[e]
