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

king
Solomon

strkjv@1Kings:12:4
@ Thy

made

grievous
: now therefore make thou the
grievous
service
of thy
father

heavy

put

lighter

serve
thee.
strkjv@1Kings:12:5

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

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

strkjv@1Kings:12:8
@ But he
forsook
the
counsel
of the old
men

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

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
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:20
@ And it came to pass, when all
Israel
heard
that
Jeroboam
was come
again
, that they
sent
and
called
him unto the
congregation
, and made him
king
over all
Israel
: there was none that
followed
the
house
of
David
,
but
the
tribe
of
Judah
only.
strkjv@1Kings:12:21
@ And when
Rehoboam
was
come
to
Jerusalem
, he
assembled
all the
house
of
Judah
, with the
tribe
of
Benjamin
, an
hundred
and
fourscore
thousand
chosen
men
, which were
warriors
, to
fight
against the
house
of
Israel
, to
bring
the
kingdom
again
to
Rehoboam
the
son
of
Solomon
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:22
@ But the
word
of
God
came unto
Shemaiah
the
man
of
God
,
saying
,
strkjv@1Kings:12:23
@
Speak
unto
Rehoboam
R@, the
son
of
Solomon
,
king
of
Judah
, and unto all the
house
of
Judah
and
Benjamin
, and to the
remnant

people
,
saying
,
strkjv@1Kings:12:24
@ Thus
saith
the
LORD
, Ye shall not go
up
, nor
fight
against your
brethren
the
children
of
Israel
:
return
every
man
to his
house
; for this
thing
is
from me. They
hearkened
therefore to the
word
of the
LORD
, and
returned
to
depart
, according to the
word
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:25
@ Then
Jeroboam
built
Shechem
in
mount
Ephraim
, and
dwelt
therein; and went
out
from thence, and
built
Penuel
P@.
strkjv@1Kings:12:26
@ And
Jeroboam
said
in his
heart
, Now shall the
kingdom
return
to the
house

David
:
strkjv@1Kings:12:27
@ If this
people
go
up
to
do
sacrifice

at
Jerusalem
, then shall the
heart

people
turn
again
unto their
lord
, even unto
Rehoboam
king
of
Judah
, and they shall
kill
me, and go
again
to
Rehoboam
king
of
Judah
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:28
@ Whereupon the
king
took
counsel
, and
made
two
calves
of
gold
, and
said
unto them, It is too
much
for you to go
up
to
Jerusalem
: behold thy
gods
, O
Israel
, which brought thee
up
out of the
land
of
Egypt
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:29
@ And he
set
the
one
in
Bethel
Beyth-, and the
other
put
he in
Dan
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:30
@ And this
thing
became a
sin
: for the
people
went
to worship
before
the
one
, even unto
Dan
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:31
@ And he
made
an
house
of high
places
, and
made
priests
of the
lowest
of the
people

sons
of
Levi
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:32
@ And
Jeroboam
ordained
a
feast
in the
eighth
month

fifteenth
day
of the
month

feast
that is in
Judah
, and he
offered
upon the
altar

did
he in
Bethel
Beyth-,
sacrificing
unto the

that he had
made
: and he
placed
in
Bethel
Beyth- the
priests
of the high
places

@ So he
offered
upon the

offered
upon the
altar
, and burnt
incense
