New English Translation
1 Kings 12:16-19
16When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king, “We have no portion in David, no share in the son of Jesse! Return to your homes, O Israel! Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” So Israel returned to their homes.
17(Rehoboam continued to rule over the Israelites who lived in the cities of Judah.)
18King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the supervisor of the work crews, out after them, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam managed to jump into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem.
19So Israel has been in rebellion against the Davidic dynasty to this very day.
