1 Kings 12:8-11
8But Rehoboam rejectedH5800 the adviceH6098 of the eldersH2205; instead, he consultedH3289H854 the young menH3206 whoH834 had grown upH1431 with himH854 and servedH5975 himH6440. 9He askedH559 themH413, “WhatH4100 messageH1697 do youH859 adviseH3289 that we send backH7725 to theseH2088 peopleH5971 whoH834 have spokenH1696 to meH413, sayingH559, ‘LightenH7043H4480 the yokeH5923 your fatherH1 putH5414 on usH5921’?”
10The young menH3206 whoH834 had grown upH1431 with himH854 repliedH1696, “This is howH3541 you should answerH559 theseH2088 peopleH5971 whoH834 saidH1696 to youH413H559, ‘Your fatherH1 made our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but youH859 must make it lighterH7043.’ This is whatH3541 you should tellH1696 themH413: ‘My little fingerH6995 is thickerH5666 than my father’sH1 waistH4975! 11WhereasH6258 my fatherH1 burdenedH6006 you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, IH589 will addH3254H5921 toH5921 your yokeH5923. Whereas my fatherH1 scourgedH3256 youH853 with whipsH7752, IH589 will scourgeH3256 youH853 with scorpionsH6137.’”
