And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.

And he saw a resting- place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under taskwork.

A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.

I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, The face thereof was covered with nettles, And the stone wall thereof was broken down.Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.As the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.

And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
