on 1 Kings 11:26-40

He was a young man of talent and energy, who, having been appointed by Solomon superintendent of the engineering works projected around Jerusalem, had risen into public notice, and on being informed by a very significant act of the prophet Ahijah of the royal destiny which, by divine appointment, awaited him, his mind took a new turn.

even ten tribes

on 1 Kings 11:35-37

The kingdom passes from Solomon's son, not from Solomon, softening the immediate blow while making the coming division certain. Jeroboam is offered the full desire of his soul, king over Israel, on terms the next two verses will make conditional rather than unconditional, a kingship offered but not yet secured.
