Tagged as a proper noun, the form identifies the man who raises his hand against the king and is appointed over the house of Joseph in 1 Kings 11:26 and 1 Kings 11:28. In 1 Kings 12:20 the APB renders the clause in which Israel summons him and makes him king; later clauses refer to his house, his sins, and his effect on Israel in 1 Kings 13:34 and 1 Kings 14:16.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the proper name as “Jeroboam,” including phrases such as “house of Jeroboam” and regnal notices. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, those English clauses confirm the narrative reference without independently defining the term.
