His rise to power is significant in the history of Israel as he became the first king of the northern kingdom after the division of the united monarchy. His background as an Ephraimite is important because Ephraim was one of the leading tribes in the northern kingdom, often associated with leadership and influence. Jeroboam's story begins in <a href="/1_kings/11-26.htm">1 Kings 11:26-40</a>, where he is introduced as a capable leader under Solomon.<p><b>a servant of Solomon son of David</b><br>Jeroboam initially served under King Solomon, who was the son of David. Solomon's reign was marked by wisdom and prosperity, but also by heavy taxation and forced labor, which led to discontent among the people. Jeroboam's position as a servant or official under Solomon indicates his involvement in the administration of the kingdom, giving him insight into the grievances of the people. This context is crucial for understanding the eventual division of the kingdom.<p><b>rose up and rebelled against his master</b><br>Jeroboam's rebellion was a pivotal moment in Israel's history. It was not merely a personal ambition but was prophesied by the prophet Ahijah, who tore a new garment into twelve pieces, symbolizing the division of the kingdom (<a href="/1_kings/11-29.htm">1 Kings 11:29-31</a>). Jeroboam's rebellion can be seen as a fulfillment of this prophecy. His actions led to the establishment of the northern kingdom of Israel, separate from the southern kingdom of Judah. This division had lasting religious and political implications, as Jeroboam set up alternative worship centers in Bethel and Dan to prevent his people from going to Jerusalem, which is seen as a significant departure from the worship of Yahweh as prescribed in the Law.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeroboam_son_of_nebat.htm">Jeroboam son of Nebat</a></b><br>Originally a servant of King Solomon, Jeroboam became the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy.
