1Kings:12:16-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah ,
Rehoboam reigned over them .
*
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 .
*
So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Rehoboam ,
the son of Solomon ,
king of Judah ,
and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin ,
and to the remnant of the people ,
saying ,
*
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 .
