Jeroboam

Jeroboam, the son of Nebat and Zeruah, an Ephraimite widow, was employed by Solomon, against whom he revolted. His schemes were detected, and he fled to Egypt until his master's death, when, recalled by the ten tribes of Israel, he was elected their king. He set up golden calves at Dan and Bethel, and reigned for two and twenty years, being succeeded by his son Nadab.
