Jeroboam

From the Hebrew name יָרָבְעָם (Yarovʿam) meaning "the people will contend", derived from the roots רִיב (riv) meaning "to strive, to contend" and עַם (ʿam) meaning "people, nation". According to the Old Testament, this was the name of the leader of the revolt against King Rehoboam of Israel. The kingdom was split into Judah in the south and Israel in the north, with Jeroboam becoming the first king of the latter.
