1 Kings 12:16-21

16And when allH3605 IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkened notH3808 unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH559 the kingH4428, sayingH559, WhatH4100 portionH2506 have weH3588 in DavidH1732? neitherH3808 have weH3588 inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: nowH6258 seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. SoH3808 IsraelH3478 departed unto their tentsH168.

17But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 which dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.

18Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the levy; and allH3605 IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH553 speed to getH5927 him upH5927 to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389.

19SoH2088 IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 againstH6586 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, unto this dayH3117.

20And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 was returnedH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and madeH1961 him kingH4427 over allH3605 IsraelH3478: there was noneH3808 that followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 onlyH905.

21And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, an hundredH3967 and fourscore thousandH505 chosen menH970, whichH1004 were warriorsH4421, to fightH3898 againstH5973 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to bringH935 the kingdomH4410 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.
