*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the king answered the people roughly ,
and forsook the old mens counsel that they gave him ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 Yisra #
el #:
now see to thine own house ,
David .
So Israel departed unto their tents .
