Jeroboam's pride grew in such a way that he declared himself the son of his master. to assume the throne and the power that did not belong to him. Then the boss decided to summon him to introduce himself. He said:

"I heard you call yourself" my son. " Who gave you such authority? Do you want to match me?

"Revive my being of such splendorous glory that I have come to be your beloved son. I know you've hidden this secret from everyone. Now, I want my share in the inheritance.

And further, "He that humbled himself shall be exalted, and he that exalted himself shall be humbled."
