1 Kings 11:27-28
Summary for 1Kgs 11:27-28: 11:27-28 a Solomon noted the work ethic of Jeroboam during the repair of the city’s structures and put him in charge. Jeroboam’s status among the laborers may have made him aware of brewing discontent in northern sections of Solomon’s kingdom. Jeroboam showed leadership on this occasion, as well as during the empire’s division and reorganization of the northern tribes (12:12-19 b, 25-33 c). Unfortunately, he did not always use his abilities wisely and later proved unfaithful to the Lord (12:25–13:10 d; 14:14-16 e; 2 Kgs 17:21-23 f).
