@ And
Rehoboam
went
to
Shechem
: for all
Israel
were
come
to
Shechem
to make him
king
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:2
@ And it came to pass, when
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
, who was yet in
Egypt
,
heard
of it, (for he was
fled
from the
presence
of
king
Solomon
, and
Jeroboam
dwelt
in
Egypt
; )
strkjv@1Kings:12:3
@ That they
sent
and
called
him. And
Jeroboam
and all the
congregation
of
Israel
came
, and
spake
unto
Rehoboam
R@,
saying
,
strkjv@1Kings:12:4
@ Thy
father
made
our
yoke
grievous
: now therefore make thou the
grievous
service
of thy
father
, and his
heavy
yoke
which he
put
upon us,
lighter
, and we will
serve
thee.
strkjv@1Kings:12:5
@ And he
said
unto them,
Depart
yet for
three
days
, then come
again
to me. And the
people
departed
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:6
@ And
king
Rehoboam
consulted
with the old
men
, that
stood
before
Solomon
his
father
while he yet
lived
, and
said
, How do ye
advise
that I
may
answer
this
people
?
strkjv@1Kings:12:7
@ And they
spake
unto him,
saying
, If thou wilt be a
servant
unto this
people
this
day
, and wilt
serve
them, and
answer
them, and
speak
good
words
to them, then they will be thy
servants
for
ever
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:8
@ But he
forsook
the
counsel
of the old
men
, which they had
given
him, and
consulted
with the young
men
that were grown
up
with him, and which
stood
before
him:
strkjv@1Kings:12:9
@ And he
said
unto them, What counsel
give
ye that we
may
answer
this
people
, who have
spoken
to me,
saying
,
Make
the
yoke
which thy
father
did
put
upon us
lighter
?
strkjv@1Kings:12:10
@ And the young
men
that were grown
up
with him
spake
unto him,
saying
, Thus shalt thou
speak
unto this
people
that
spake
unto thee,
saying
, Thy
father
made
our
yoke
heavy
, but make thou it
lighter
unto us; thus shalt thou
say
unto them, My
little
finger shall be
thicker
than my
fathers
loins
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:11
@ And now whereas my
father
did
lade
you with a
heavy
yoke
, I will
add
to your
yoke
: my
father
hath
chastised
you with
whips
, but I will
chastise
you with
scorpions
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:12
@ So
Jeroboam
and all the
people
came
to
Rehoboam
the
third
day
, as the
king
had
appointed
,
saying
, Come to me
again
the
third
day
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:13
@ And the
king
answered
the
people
roughly
, and
forsook
the old
mens
counsel
that they
gave
him;
strkjv@1Kings:12:14
@ And
spake
to them after the
counsel
of the young
men
,
saying
, My
father
made
your
yoke
heavy
, and I will
add
to your
yoke
: my
father
also
chastised
you with
whips
, but I will
chastise
you with
scorpions
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:15
@ Wherefore the
king
hearkened
not unto the
people
; for the
cause
was from the
LORD
, that he might
perform
his
saying
, which the
LORD
spake
by
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
unto
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:16
@
So
when all
Israel
saw
that the
king
hearkened
not unto them, the
people
answered
the
king
,
saying
, What
portion
have we in
David
? neither have we
inheritance
in the
son
of
Jesse
: to your
tents
, O
Israel
: now
see
to thine own
house
,
David
. So
Israel
departed
unto their
tents
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:17
@ But as for the
children
of
Israel
which
dwelt
in the
cities
of
Judah
,
Rehoboam
reigned
over them.
strkjv@1Kings:12:18
@ Then
king
Rehoboam
sent
Adoram
, who was over the
tribute
; and all
Israel
stoned
him with
stones
, that he
died
. Therefore
king
Rehoboam
made
speed
to get him
up
to his
chariot
, to
flee
to
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:19
@ So
Israel
rebelled
against the
house
of
David
unto this
day
