26JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, “NowH6258 the kingdomH4467 will returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.

271IfH518 thisH2088 peopleH5971 goH5927 up to offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then the heartH3820 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 will returnH7725 to their lordH113, even to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and they will killH2026 me and returnH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.”

28So the kingH4428 2consultedH3289, and 3madeH6213 twoH8147 goldenH2091 4calvesH5695, and he saidH559 to them, “It is tooH4480 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389; 5beholdH2009 your godsH430, O IsraelH3478, that broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”
