1 Kings 12:12-20
12Then JeroboamH3379 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 as the kingH4428 had 1directedH1696, sayingH559, “2ReturnH7725 to me on the thirdH7992 dayH3117.” 13The kingH4428 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 harshlyH7186, for he forsookH5800 the adviceH6098 of the eldersH2205 whichH834 they had 3givenH3289 him, 14and he spokeH1696 to them according to the adviceH6098 of the youngH3206 menH3206, sayingH559, “4My fatherH1 madeH3513 your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923; my fatherH1 disciplinedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will disciplineH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.” 15So the kingH4428 did not listenH8085 to the peopleH5971; 5for it was a turnH5438 of events from the LordH3068, 6that He might establishH6965 His wordH1697, whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 throughH3027 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 to JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
16When allH3605 IsraelH3478 saw that the kingH4428 did not listenH8085 to them, the peopleH5971 answeredH7725 the kingH4428, sayingH559, “WhatH4100 portionH2506 do we have in DavidH1732? We have noH3808 inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448; 7To your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478! NowH6258 lookH7200 after your own houseH1004, DavidH1732!” So IsraelH3478 departedH1980 to their tentsH168. 17But 8as for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 who livedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 overH5921 them. 18Then KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 9AdoramH151, whoH834 was overH5921 the forcedH4522 laborH4522, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him 10to deathH4191. And KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH553 hasteH553 to mountH5927 his chariotH4818 to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. 1911So IsraelH3478 has been in rebellionH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
20It cameH1961 about when allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 had returnedH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him to the assemblyH5712 and madeH4427 him kingH4427 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478. 12NoneH3808 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.
