2 Chronicles 10:3-16

3And they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. So JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 cameH935 and spakeH1696 to RehoboamH7346, sayingH559, 4Thy fatherH1 made our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore easeH7043 thou somewhat the grievousH7186 servitudeH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 that he putH5414 upon us, and we will serveH5647 thee. 5And he saidH559 unto them, Come againH7725 unto me after threeH7969 daysH3117. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.

6And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 took counselH3289 with the oldH2205 men that had stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, sayingH559, WhatH349 counsel giveH3289 ye me to returnH7725 answerH1697 to this peopleH5971? 7And they spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, If thou be kindH2896 to this peopleH5971, and pleaseH7521 them, and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, they will be thy servantsH5650 for everH3117. 8But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 which the old menH2205 gaveH3289 him, and took counselH3289 with the young menH3206 that were brought upH1431 with him, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him. 9And he saidH559 unto them, What adviceH3289 give ye that we may returnH7725 answerH1697 to this peopleH5971, which have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, EaseH7043 somewhat the yokeH5923 that thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us? 10And the young menH3206 that were brought upH1431 with him spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou answerH559 the peopleH5971 that spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it somewhat lighterH7043 for us; thus shalt thou sayH559 unto them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father’sH1 loinsH4975. 11For whereasH6258 my fatherH1 putH6006 a heavyH3515 yokeH5923 upon you, I will put moreH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137.1 12So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 badeH1696, sayingH559, Come againH7725 to me on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. 13And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 them roughlyH7186; and kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205, 14And answeredH1696 them after the adviceH6098 of the young menH3206, sayingH559, My fatherH1 made your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but I will addH3254 thereto: my fatherH1 chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137. 15So the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto the peopleH5971: for the causeH5252 was of GodH430, that YhwhH3068 might performH6965 his wordH1697, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 to JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.

16And when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 would not hearkenH8085 unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH7725 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? and we have none inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: every manH376 to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: and now, DavidH1732, seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004. So all IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to their tentsH168.
