1 Kings 12:16-19

16When allH3605 IsraelH3478 sawH7200 thatH3588 the kingH4428 had refusedH3808 to listenH8085 to themH413, they answeredH1697 the kingH4428H559:

“WhatH4100 portionH2506 do we have in DavidH1732,and whatH3808 inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448?To your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478!LookH7200 nowH6258 to your own houseH1004, O DavidH1732!”

So the IsraelitesH3478 wentH1980 homeH168, 17but RehoboamH7346 still reignedH4427 overH5921 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 livingH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.

18Then KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sent outH7971 AdoramH151,1 whoH834 was in chargeH5921 of the forced laborH4522, but allH3605 IsraelH3478 stonedH7275H68 him to deathH4191. And KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 mountedH5927 his chariotH4818 in hasteH553 and escapedH5127 to JerusalemH3389. 19So toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117 IsraelH3478 has been in rebellionH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.
