1 Kings 11:39

Solomon's Enemies

³⁸ If you obey me completely I will always be with you. You must live by my laws, and win my approval by doing what I command, as my servant David did. I will make you king of Israel and will make sure that your descendants rule after you, just as I have done for David. ³⁹ Thus I will afflict the descendants of David for this, but not always.’” ⁴⁰ For this reason Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. Jeroboam escaped to King Shishak of Egypt and stayed there until Solomon's death.
