1 Kings 12:2-4

2Now when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about it, he was still in Egypt where he had fled from the face of King Solomon and settled in Egypt.

3They summoned him, so Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying:

4“Your father made our yoke burdensome. Now therefore lighten the harsh labor of your father and his heavy yoke which he laid on us and we will serve you.”
