@1Kings:12:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:2 @ And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, heard of it, (but he was yet in Egypt, whither he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:3 @ And they had sent and called him;) that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehoboam, saying,
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:4 @ Thy father made our yoke hard; but do thou now make lighter the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:5 @ And he said unto them, Go away yet for three days, and then return to me. And the people went away.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:6 @ Then consulted king Rehoboam with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I should give an answer to this people?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke unto him, saying, If thou wilt this day be a servant unto this people, and wilt serve them, and be attentive to them, and speak to them good words; then will they be servants unto thee for all times.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:8 @ But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, those who stood before him:
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said unto them, What do you counsel how we should give an answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make lighter the yoke which thy father did put upon us?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:10 @ Then spoke unto him the young men that were grown up with him, saying, Thus must thou say unto this people that have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but do thou make it lighter unto us: thus must thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my fathers loins.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:11 @ And now, if my father hath burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will even add to your yoke; if my father hath chastised you with whips, then will I chastise you with scorpionthorns.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:12 @ When now Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:13 @ The king answered the people harshly, and forsook the old mens counsel that they had advised him;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:14 @ And he spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will even add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpionthorns.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:15 @ Thus the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was so brought about from the Lord, in order that he might fulfill his word, which the Lord had spoken by means of Achiyah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:16 @ So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people gave the king an answer saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we an inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel: now see to thy own house, David. So did Israel go away unto their tents.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:17 @ But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, over them did Rehoboam reign.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:18 @ Then sent king Rehoboam Adoram, who was over the tribute; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed with all his might to get up into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:19 @ So did Israel rebel against the house of David unto this day.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:20 @ And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, 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, save the tribe of Judah alone.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:21 @ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:22 @ But the word of God came unto Shemayah the man of God, saying,
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:23 @ Say unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:24 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned to go home, according to the word of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:25 @ And Jeroboam built Shechem in the mountain of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:26 @ And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now may the kingdom return to the house of David:
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:27 @ If this people go up to prepare sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then may the heart of this people turn again unto their Lord, even unto Rehoboam the king of Judah, and they might kill me, and return to Rehoboam the king of Judah.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:28 @ Whereupon the king took counsel, and he made two calves of gold, and said unto the people, You have been long enough going up to Jerusalem: behold, here are thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:29 @ And he placed the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Daniel.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:30 @ And this thing became a sin; and the people went before the one, as far as Daniel.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:31 @ And he made a house of the highplaces, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:32 @ And Jeroboam made a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar; so did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he stationed at Bethel the priests of the highplaces whom he had made.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:12:33 @ So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had falsely devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast unto the children of Israel, and he went up to the altar, to burn incense.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:1 @ And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: while Jeroboam was standing upon the altar to burn incense.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:2 @ And he called out against the altar by the word of the Lord, and he said, O altar, altar, thus hath said the Lord, Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the highplaces that burn incense upon thee, and mens bones shall be burnt upon thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave on the same day a token, saying, This is the token that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes which are upon it shall be spilled about.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:4 @ And it came to pass, when the king heard the word of the man of God, which he had called out against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam stretched forth his hand from off the altar, saying, Seize him. And his hand, which he had put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:5 @ The altar also was rent, and the ashes were spilled about from the altar, according to the token which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:6 @ And the king commenced and said unto the man of God, Offer but entreaty before the Lord thy God, and pray in behalf of me, that my hand may return to me again. And the man of God offered his entreaty before the Lord, and the kings hand returned to him again, and became as it was before.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:7 @ And the king spoke unto the man of God, Come home with me, and take some refreshment, and I will give thee a present.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:8 @ But the man of God said unto the king, If thou wert to give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:9 @ For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way that thou camest.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:10 @ So he went by another way, and returned not by the way on which he was come to Bethel.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:11 @ Now there dwelt a certain old prophet in Bethel; and his son came and told him all the deed that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, these too they told to their father.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:12 @ And their father spoke unto them, What way did he go? His sons however had seen what way had gone the man of God, who had come from Judah.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:13 @ And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass, and he rode away thereon,
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:14 @ And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under the oak; and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:15 @ Then said he unto him, Come with me home, and eat bread.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:16 @ And he said, I cannot return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:17 @ For a command came to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water there; thou shalt not return to go by the way by which thou camest.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:18 @ And he said unto him, I also am a prophet like thee; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee unto thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:19 @ So he returned with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:20 @ And it came to pass, as they were sitting at the table, That the word of the Lord came unto the prophet who had brought him back;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:21 @ And he called unto the man of God that was come from Judah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the order of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God had commanded thee;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:22 @ But didst return, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of which he had spoken to thee, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water: thy dead body shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:23 @ And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:24 @ And when he was gone, a lion met him on the way, and slew him; and his corpse remained cast down on the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the corpse.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:25 @ And, behold, men passed by, and saw the corpse cast down on the way, and the lion standing by the corpse; and they came and spoke of it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:26 @ And when the prophet that had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, It is the man of God who was disobedient unto the order of the Lord; wherefore the Lord hath given him up unto the lion, who hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:27 @ And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:28 @ And he went and found his corpse cast down on the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the corpse: the lion had not eaten the corpse, nor torn the ass.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:29 @ And the prophet took up the corpse of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to lament for, and to bury him.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:30 @ And he laid his corpse in his own sepulchre; and they lamented over him, "Alas, my brother!"
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:31 @ And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones lay ye my bones;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:32 @ For the thing which he called out by the word of the Lord against the altar which is in Bethel, and against all the houses of the highplaces which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:33 @ After this event Jeroboam returned not from his evil way; but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the highplaces: whosoever desired it, he consecrated, that he might become one of the priests of the highplaces.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:13:34 @ And he became through this thing the cause of sin unto the house of Jeroboam, and to cause that it was blotted out, and destroyed from off the face of the earth.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:14:1 @ At that time Abiyah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
