2 Chronicles 10:2-4

2When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about it — for he was in Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon’s presence — Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

3So they summoned him. Then Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam:

4“Your father made our yoke harsh. Therefore, lighten your father’s harsh service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
