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.

¹⁹ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David^(A) to this day.

²⁰ When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.^(B)
