I Reis 11:28

28 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.

28 Jeroboão era um jovem muito capaz e, quando Salomão viu como era diligente, encarregou-o dos trabalhadores das tribos de Efraim e Manassés, os descendentes de José.
