*
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 .
*
But Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah .
*
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram ,
who was in charge of the revenue ;
but all Israel stoned him with stones ,
and he died .
Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem .
*
So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day .
*
Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back ,
they sent for him and called him to the congregation ,
and made him king over all Israel .
There was none who followed the house of David ,
but the tribe of Judah only .
