1 Kings 11:28-30

The Voice

²⁸ Jeroboam was a strong and fierce warrior. Solomon recognized that Jeroboam was a hard worker and put him in charge of all the workers from Joseph’s tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh.

²⁹ When Jeroboam was traveling outside of Jerusalem, he encountered the prophet, Ahijah the Shilonite, on the road. Ahijah was dressed in a new robe, and there was no one else anywhere around except for him and Jeroboam. ³⁰ Ahijah then did something unexpected. He pulled his new robe off his body and tore it into a dozen pieces.
