1 Kings 11:11

Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon ,.... Not in a vision, as before, but by a prophet; the Jews say F14 Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20. p. 53. Kimchi in loc. , Ahijah the Shilonite, which is probable, see 1 Kings 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, 1 Kings 11:26 .
