26.所羅門的臣僕、尼八的兒子耶羅波安也舉手攻擊王。他是以法蓮支派的洗利達人,他母親是寡婦,名叫洗魯阿。
Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27.他舉手攻擊王的緣故,乃由先前所羅門建造米羅,修補他父親大衛城的破口。
Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces[a] and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father.

28.耶羅波安是大有才能的人。所羅門見這少年人殷勤,就派他監管約瑟家的一切工程。
Now Jeroboam was a man of standing, and when Solomon saw how well the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the tribes of Joseph.
