40 And Solʹo·mon began seeking to put Jer·o·boʹam to death.+ So Jer·o·boʹam got up and went running+ off to Egypt to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt, and he continued in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.

2 And it came about that as soon as Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat heard of it while he was yet in Egypt,+ (because he had run away on account of Solʹo·mon the king,) Jer·o·boʹam immediately came back from Egypt.+
