1 Kings 12:12-19

12So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 bade, sayingH559, ComeH935 to me again the thirdH7992 dayH3117. 13And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 roughly, and forsook the counselH6098 of the oldH2205 men which they had given him, 14and spake to them after the counselH6098 of the youngH3206 men, sayingH559, My fatherH1 madeH3513 your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 chastised you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137. 15So the kingH4428 hearkened not unto the peopleH5971; for it wasH1961 a thingH1697 brought about of Jehovah, that he might establishH6965 his wordH1697, which Jehovah spake by AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 to JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.

16And when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkened not unto them, the peopleH5971 answered the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: nowH6258 seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departed unto their tentsH168. 17But as for the children of IsraelH3478 that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them. 18Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him to deathH4191 with stonesH68. And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH553 speed to get him up to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. 19So IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 unto this dayH3117.
