2And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 heardH8085 of it (for he wasH1961 yetH5750 in EgyptH4714, whither he had fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and JeroboamH3379 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714,

3and they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him), that JeroboamH3379 and all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and spake unto RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,

4Thy fatherH1 madeH5414 our yokeH5923 grievous: nowH6258 thereforeH6258 makeH5414 thou the grievous serviceH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 which he putH5414 upon us, lighter, and we will serveH5647 thee.
