1 Kings 11:11

Ver. 11. Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon,.... Not in a vision, as before, but by a prophet; the Jews say {n}, Ahijah the Shilonite, which is probable, see 1Ki 11:29

forasmuch as this is done of thee, that thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded thee; but broke them by his idolatry:

I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and I will give it to thy servant; meaning Jeroboam, who was not only a subject, but in office under him, 1Ki 11:26.

{n} Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20. p. 53. Kimchi in loc.
