1 Kings 12:16-24

16And all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkened not to them; and the peopleH5971 answered the kingH4428 sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? And [we have] no inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: To your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478! NowH6258 seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732! And IsraelH3478 wentH7725 to their tentsH168.

17But as for the children of IsraelH3478 that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.

18And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the levy; but all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 hastened to mount his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389.

19And IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, unto this dayH3117.

20And it came to pass when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 had come backH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him to the assemblyH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: none followed the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 onlyH905.

21And RehoboamH7346 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389; and he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, a hundredH3967 and eightyH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH970 apt for warH4421, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that he might bringH935 the kingdom again to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.

22But the wordH1697 of 1GodH430 came to ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of 2GodH430, sayingH559,

23Speak unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remainderH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,

24ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: GoH5927 not up, nor fightH3898 with your brethren, the children of IsraelH3478; returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004, for this thingH1697 is from me. And they hearkened to the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and returnedH7725 to depart, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah.
