26Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah—his mother's name was Zeruah, a widow—was a servant of Solomon, and he raised his hand against the king.

27And this was the reason why he raised his hand against the king: Solomon had built the Millo and closed up the breach of the city of David his father.

28The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor, and Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, so he appointed him over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.
