[1] Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king. [2] When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. [3] They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying, [4] “Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.” [5] He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.”So the people departed. [6] King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?” [7] They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.” [8] But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. [9] He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?” [10] The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. [11] Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’” [12] So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.” [13] The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men, [14] and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.” [15] So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Yahweh might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. [16] When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents. [17] But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. [18] Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. [19] So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
King James Version

The Kingdom of Judah

[1] And Rehoboam H7346 went H3212 to Shechem: H7927 for H3588 to Shechem H7927 were all Israel H3478 come H935 to make him king. H4427 [2] And it came to pass, when Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who was in Egypt, H4714 whither he had fled H1272 from the presence H6440 of Solomon H8010 the king, H4428 heard H8085 it, that Jeroboam H3379 returned H7725 out of Egypt. H4714 [3] And they sent H7971 and called H7121 him. So Jeroboam H3379 and all Israel H3478 came H935 and spake H1696 to Rehoboam, H7346 saying, H559 [4] Thy father H1 made our yoke H5923 grievous: H7185 now H6258 therefore ease H7043 thou somewhat the grievous H7186 servitude H5656 of thy father, H1 and his heavy H3515 yoke H5923 that he put H5414 upon H5921 us, and we will serve H5647 thee. [5] And he said H559 unto H413 them, Come again H7725 unto H413 me after three H7969 days. H3117 And the people H5971 departed. H3212

King Rehoboam

[6] And king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 took counsel H3289 with H854 the old H2205 men that had stood H5975 before H6440 Solomon H8010 his father H1 while he yet lived, H2416 saying, H559 What H349 counsel give H3289 ye me to return H7725 answer H1697 to this people? H5971 [7] And they spake H1696 unto H413 him, saying, H559 If thou be kind H2896 to this people, H5971 and please H7521 them, and speak H1696 good H2896 words H1697 to them, they will be thy servants H5650 for ever. H3117 [8] But he forsook H5800 H853 the counsel H6098 which H834 the old men H2205 gave H3289 him, and took counsel H3289 with H854 the young men H3206 that were brought up H1431 with H854 him, that stood H5975 before H6440 him. [9] And he said H559 unto H413 them, What advice H3289 give ye that we may return H7725 answer H1697 H853 to this people, H5971 which H834 have spoken H1696 to me, saying, H559 Ease H7043 somewhat the yoke H5923 that thy father H1 did put H5414 upon us? [10] And the young men H3206 that were brought up H1431 with H854 him spake H1696 unto him, saying, H559 Thus H3541 shalt thou answer H559 the people H5971 that spake H1696 unto thee, saying, H559 Thy father H1 made H3513 H853 our yoke H5923 heavy, H3513 but make thou it somewhat lighter H7043 for us; thus shalt thou say H559 unto them, My little H6995 finger shall be thicker H5666 than my father’s H1 loins. H4975 [11] For whereas H6258 my father H1 put H6006§ a heavy H3515 yoke H5923 upon H5921 you, I will put more H3254 to your yoke: H5923 my father H1 chastised H3256 you with whips, H7752 but I will chastise you with scorpions. H6137 [12] So Jeroboam H3379 and all the people H5971 came H935 to Rehoboam H7346 on the third H7992 day, H3117 as the king H4428 bade, H1696 saying, H559 Come again H7725 to me on the third H7992 day. H3117 [13] And the king H4428 answered H6030 them roughly; H7186 and king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 forsook H5800 H853 the counsel H6098 of the old men, H2205 [14] and answered H1696 them after the advice H6098 of the young men, H3206 saying, H559 My father H1 H853 made your yoke H5923 heavy, H3513 but I will add H3254 thereto: my father H1 chastised H3256 you with whips, H7752 but I will chastise you with scorpions. H6137 [15] So the king H4428 hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 the people: H5971 for H3588 the cause H5252 was of God, H430 that the Lord H3068 might perform H6965 H853 his word, H1697 which H834 he spake H1696 by the hand H3027 of Ahijah H281 the Shilonite H7888 to Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat. H5028

Revolt of Ten Tribes

[16] And when all Israel H3478 saw H7200 that the king H4428 would H8085 not H3808 hearken H8085 unto them, the people H5971 answered H7725 the king, H4428 saying, H559 What H4100 portion H2506 have we in David? H1732 and we have none inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse: H3448 every H3605 man H376 to your tents, H168 O Israel: H3478 and now, David, H1732 see H7200 to thine own house. H1004 So all Israel H3478 went H3212 to their tents. H168 [17] But as for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 that dwelt H3427 in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 Rehoboam H7346 reigned H4427 over them. [18] Then king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 sent H7971 H853 Hadoram H1913 that was over the tribute; H4522 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 stoned H7275 him with stones, H68 that he died. H4191 But king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 made speed H553§ to get him up H5927 to his chariot, H4818 to flee H5127 to Jerusalem. H3389 [19] And Israel H3478 rebelled H6586 against the house H1004 of David H1732 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117
