Notes

1 Kings 11:34–39

Ahijah also told about the coming division of the kingdom. He gave God’s message to Jeroboam: God would bless him and give him lasting rule if he obeyed the Lord.

1 Kings 11:29–39

The meeting between Jeroboam and the prophet Ahijah started God's judgment on Solomon's family line. Ahijah appears again in the story of Jeroboam's sick son (1 Kings 14:1–18). He wrote a book, now lost, that included details about Solomon's actions (2 Chronicles 9:29).

1 Kings 11:26–40

Details about Solomon's third enemy, Jeroboam son of Nebat, help explain how the kingdom of Israel split (1 Kings 12–14).

1 Kings 11:14–40

God delivered Solomon’s punishment through three political adversaries, Hadad, Rezon, and Jeroboam (see 1 Kings 11:40).
