And Jerobo´am the son of Nebat, an Eph´rathite of Zere´da, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeru´ah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jerobo´am was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
if this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehobo´am king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehobo´am king of Judah.
