  === Life Sketch ===
  Jeroboam I (/ˌdʒɛrəˈboʊ.əm/; Hebrew: יָרָבְעָם‎ Yārŏḇ‘ām; Greek: Ἱεροβοάμ, romanized: Hieroboám) was the first king of the northern Kingdom of Israel. The Hebrew Bible describes the reign of Jeroboam to have commenced following a revolt of the ten northern Israelite tribes against Rehoboam that put an end to the United Monarchy.
  
  Jeroboam reigned for 22 years. William F. Albright has dated his reign from 922 to 901 BC, while Edwin R. Thiele offers the dates 931 to 910 BC.
  Jeroboam was the son of Nebat, a member of the Tribe of Ephraim of Zereda. His mother, named Zeruah (צרוע "leprous") was a widow. He had at least two sons, Abijah and Nadab, who succeeded him on the throne.
  
  While still a young man, King Solomon made him superintendent over his tribesmen in the building of the fortress Millo in Jerusalem and of other public works, and he naturally became conversant with the widespread discontent caused by the extravagances which marked the reign of Solomon.
  
  Influenced by the words of the prophet Ahijah, he began to form conspiracies with the view of becoming king of the ten northern tribes; but these were discovered, and he fled to Egypt, where he remained under the protection of Pharaoh Shishak until the death of Solomon. After this event, he returned and participated in a delegation sent to ask the new king Rehoboam to reduce taxes. After Rehoboam rejected their petition, ten of the tribes withdrew their allegiance to the house of David and proclaimed Jeroboam their king, forming the northern kingdom of Israel (Samaria). Initially, only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained to form the new kingdom of Judah, loyal to Rehoboam.
  
  Jeroboam rebuilt and fortified Shechem as the capital of the northern kingdom, and fearing that pilgrimages to the temple in Jerusalem prescribed by the Law might be an occasion for his people to go back to their old allegiance, he built two state temples with golden calves, one in Bethel and the other in Dan. Although criticised for his cultic activities in 1 Kings, calf worship was not new in Israelite ritual, but a reintroduction of earlier ritual. Bethel and Dan were already established cultic sites. According to Rabbanic Literature Gehazi possessed a magnet by which he lifted up the idol made by Jeroboam, so that it was seen between heaven and earth; he had "Yhwh" engraved on it, and in consequence the idol (a calf) pronounced the first two words of the Decalogue (ib.).
  
  According to 1 Kings, while Jeroboam was engaged in offering incense at Bethel, a "man of God" warned him that "a son named Josiah will be born to the house of David", who would destroy the altar (referring to King Josiah of Judah who would rule approximately three hundred years later). Attempting to arrest the prophet for his bold words of defiance, Jeroboam's hand was "dried up", and the altar before which he stood was rent asunder. At the entreaty of the man of God, his hand was restored to him again, but the miracle made no abiding impression on him. Jeroboam offered hospitality to the man of God but this was declined, not out of contempt but in obedience to the command of God. The prophecy is fulfilled in 2 Kings.

  The House of Jeroboam or Jeroboam dynasty was a reigning dynasty of the Kingdom of Israel. They are depicted in the first of the Books of Kings. Their estimated reign is placed in the 10th century BCE.
  
  The house is named after its founder, the king Jeroboam, who reportedly had a reign of 22 years. Jeroboam was succeeded by his son Nadab of Israel, who had a short reign of 2 years. Nadab was assassinated by his eventual successor Baasha of Israel, a son of Ahijah and member of the Tribe of Issachar.
  
  Baasha proceeded to exterminate all members of the House of Jeroboam. Baasha was reportedly following instructions from the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite. The Books of Kings mention that no member of the House of Jeroboam was left to breathe.

  Figlio di Nebat e Serua, e padre di Abiia (3) e Nadab (4). Un uomo forte e valoroso e un servo del re Salomone, contro cui si ribellò e si rifugiò in Egitto 1Re 11:26-40. Alla morte di Salomone, tornò in Israele, e siccome Roboamo non alleggerì il peso del popolo, dieci tribù si separarono e fecero Geroboamo re (930-909 a.C.) - il regno settentrionale di Israele - mentre le tribù di Giuda (1) e Beniamino (1) rimasero fedeli alla stirpe di Davide 1Re 12:1-20; 2Re 17:21; 23:15; 2Cr 10:1-19; Sir 47:24. Eresse degli idoli e consacrò dei sacerdoti affinché gli Israeliti adorassero lì piuttosto che a Gerusalemme, per cui fu condannato da Dio 1Re 12:25-13:10; 13:33-14:18; 15:29-30; 2Cr 11:14-15; Tob 1:5. Ci fu sempre guerra fra Geroboamo e i re Roboamo e Abiia (4) di Giuda 1Re 14:30; 15:6-7; 2Cr 12:15; 13:2-20. Fu il cattivo esempio di idolatria che tutti i re di Israele seguirono 1Re 15:34; 16:2,7,19,26,31; 22:53; 2Re 3:3; 10:29,31; 13:2,6,11; 14:24; 15:19,24,28; 17:22, e di punizione di questa idolatria 1Re 16:3; 21:22; 2Re 9:9.
