11:29	And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing with a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.
11:30	And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.
11:31	And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.
11:32	Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

12:19

And Israel drew away from the house of David, even to the present day.

7:31	And again, departing from the borders of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the area of the Ten Cities.
7:32	And they brought someone who was deaf and mute to him. And they begged him, so that he would lay his hand upon him.
7:33	And taking him away from the crowd, he put his fingers into his ears; and spitting, he touched his tongue.
7:34	And gazing up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: “Ephphatha,” which is, “Be opened.”
7:35	And immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke correctly.
7:36	And he instructed them not to tell anyone. But as much as he instructed them, so much more did they preach about it.
7:37	And so much more did they wonder, saying: “He has done all things well. He has caused both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
