The prophet Ahijah the Shilonite tears his new garment in twelve pieces and tells Jeroboam to take ten pieces

실로 사람 선지자 아히야가 새 옷을 열 두 조각에 찢고 여로보암에게 열 조각을 취하라고 말함

1 Kings 11:29–39: at that time, when Jeroboam goes out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite finds him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field. Ahijah takes the new garment that was on him, and tears it in twelve pieces. He says to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you (but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did. However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes, but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes. I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there. I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel. It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’” At 11:32 the Korean Revised Version reads 한 지파를 솔로몬에게 주리니 (one tribe to Solomon), where WEB reads “but he shall have one tribe”, and at 11:34 it reads 솔로몬의 생전에는 (in Solomon’s lifetime), where WEB reads “all the days of his life”.

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

    30Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.

    31He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you

    32(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),

    33because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.

    34“‘However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes,

    35but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.

    36I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

    37I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

    38It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

    39I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
