*
And Rehoboam went to Shechem :
for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
who was in Egypt ,
whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king ,
heard it ,
that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt .
*
And they sent and called him .
So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam ,
saying ,
*
Thy father made our yoke grievous :
now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father ,
and his heavy yoke that he put upon us ,
and we will serve thee .
*
And he said unto them ,
Come again unto me after three days .
And the people departed .
