1
Then Rehoboam
went
to Shechem
,
for all
Israel
had come
to Shechem
to make him king.
2
When
Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
heard
of it (for he was in Egypt
where
he had fled
from the presence
of King
Solomon),
Jeroboam
returned
from Egypt.
3
So they sent
and summoned
him. When Jeroboam
and all
Israel
came,
they spoke
to Rehoboam,
saying,
4
"Your father
made
our
yoke
hard;
now
therefore lighten
the hard
service
of your father
and his heavy
yoke
which
he put
on us, and we will serve
you."
5
He said
to them, "Return
to me again
in three
days."
So the people
departed.
6
Then King
Rehoboam
consulted
with the elders
who
had
served
his father
Solomon
while he was still alive,
saying,
"How
do you counsel
me to answer
this
people?"
7
They spoke
to him, saying,
"If
you will be kind
to this
people
and please
them and speak
good
words
to them, then they will be your servants
forever."
8
But he forsook
the counsel
of the elders
which
they had given
him, and consulted
with the young men
who
grew
up with him and served
him.
9
So he said
to them, "What
counsel do you give
that we may answer
this
people,
who
have spoken
to me, saying,
'Lighten
the yoke
which
your father
put
on us'?"
10
The young men
who
grew
up with him
spoke
to him, saying,
"Thus
you shall say
to the people
who
spoke
to you, saying,
'Your father
made
our yoke
heavy,
but you make it lighter
for us.' Thus
you shall say
to them, 'My little finger
is thicker
than
my father's
loins!
11
Whereas
my father
loaded
you with a heavy
yoke,
I will add
to your yoke;
my father
disciplined
you with whips,
but I will discipline you with scorpions.'"
12
So Jeroboam
and all
the people
came
to Rehoboam
on the third
day
as the king
had directed,
saying,
"Return
to me
on the third
day
."
13
The king
answered
them harshly,
and King
Rehoboam
forsook
the counsel
of the elders.
14
He spoke
to them according to the advice
of the young men,
saying,
"My father
made
your yoke
heavy,
but I will add
to it; my father
disciplined
you with whips,
but I will discipline you with scorpions."
15
So the king
did not listen
to the people,
for it was a turn
of events from God
that the LORD
might establish
His word,
which
He spoke
through
Ahijah
the Shilonite
to Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat.
16
When all
Israel
saw that the king
did not listen
to them the people
answered
the king,
saying,
"What
portion
do we have in David?
We have no
inheritance
in the son
of Jesse.
Every man
to your tents,
O
Israel
;
Now
look
after your own house,
David."
So all
Israel
departed
to their tents.
17
But as for the sons
of Israel
who lived
in the cities
of Judah,
Rehoboam
reigned
over
them.
18
Then King
Rehoboam
sent
Hadoram,
who
was over
the forced labor,
and the sons
of Israel
stoned
him to death.
And King
Rehoboam
made haste
to mount
his chariot
to flee
to Jerusalem.
19
So Israel
has been in rebellion
against the house
of David
to this
day.
