Context of 2 Chronicles 10:13
11My father made you work hard. I will make you work even harder! My father punished you with little whips. I will punish you with whips that bite your skin!” ’ 12Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam after three days. That was because the king had said, ‘Return to me in three days.’ King Rehoboam spoke cruel words to the people. He did not agree to say what the older men had told him to say. 14Instead, he did what the young men had suggested. He said to the people, ‘My father gave you work that was too hard for you. I will make it even worse! My father punished you with little whips. I will punish you with whips that bite!’ 15So the king did not agree to do what the people wanted him to do. It was God who caused this to happen. He had already given his message about this to Nebat's son Jeroboam. The prophet Ahijah who came from Shiloh had spoken the Lord's message to Jeroboam.
