Erat autem Jeroboam vir fortis et potens : vidensque Salomon adolescentem bonæ indolis et industrium, constituerat eum præfectum super tributa universæ domus Joseph.

Vulgate

καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ἰεροβοὰμ ἰσχυρὸς δυνάμει· καὶ εἶδεν Σαλωμὼν τὸ παιδάριον ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἔργων ἐστίν, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἄρσεις οἴκου Ἰωσήφ.

LXX

And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.
