1 Kings 12:12-20

12Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had 1directed, saying, “2Return to me on the third day.” 13The king answered the people harshly, for he forsook the advice of the elders which they had 3given him, 14and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “4My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.” 15So the king did not listen to the people; 5for it was a turn of events from the Lord, 6that He might establish His word, which the Lord spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

16When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; 7To your tents, O Israel! Now look after your own house, David!” So Israel departed to their tents. 17But 8as for the sons of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18Then King Rehoboam sent 9Adoram, who was over the forced labor, and all Israel stoned him 10to death. And King Rehoboam made haste to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 1911So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

20It came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. 12None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.
