1 Kings 11:29-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way. Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they were alone in the field.

³⁰ Ahijah caught the new garment he wore and tore it into twelve pieces.

³¹ He said to Jeroboam, You take ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes.
