1 Kings 12:16-20

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. 20And it came to pass, when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 wasH1961 returnedH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: there wasH1961 none that followed the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 onlyH905.
