*
Then the king answered the people roughly ,
and rejected the advice which the elders had given him ;
*
and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men ,
saying , "
My father made your yoke heavy ,
but I will add to your yoke ;
my father chastised you with whips ,
but I will chastise you with scourges !"
*
So the king did not listen to the people ;
for the turn of events was from the LORD ,
that He might fulfill His word ,
which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat .
*
Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them ,
the people answered the king ,
saying : "
What share have we in David ?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse .
To your tents ,
O Israel !
Now ,
see to your own house ,
O David !"
So Israel departed to their tents .
