2Now 1when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 heardH8085 of it, 2he was livingH3427 in EgyptH4714 (for he was yetH5750 in EgyptH4714, whereH834 he had fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of KingH4428 SolomonH8010).

3Then they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him, and JeroboamH3379 and allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and spokeH1696 to RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,

4“3Your fatherH1 madeH7185 our yokeH5923 hardH7185; nowH6258 therefore lightenH7043 the hardH7186 serviceH5656 of your fatherH1 and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 whichH834 he putH5414 on us, and we will serveH5647 you.”
