ASV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7346 And Rehoboam H3212 went H7927 to Shechem: H3478 for all Israel H935 were come H7927 to Shechem H4427 to make him king.
  2 H3379 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H8085 heard H4714 of it (for he was yet in Egypt, H1272 whither he had fled H6440 from the presence H4428 of king H8010 Solomon, H3379 and Jeroboam H3427 dwelt H4714 in Egypt,
  3 H7971 and they sent H7121 and called H3379 him), that Jeroboam H6951 and all the assembly H3478 of Israel H935 came, H1696 and spake H7346 unto Rehoboam, H559 saying,
  4 H1 Thy father H7185 made H5923 our yoke H7185 grievous: H7186 now therefore make thou the grievous H5656 service H1 of thy father, H3515 and his heavy H5923 yoke H5414 which he put H7043 upon us, lighter, H5647 and we will serve thee.
  5 H559 And he said H3212 unto them, Depart H7969 yet for three H3117 days, H7725 then come again H5971 to me. And the people H3212 departed.
  6 H4428 And king H7346 Rehoboam H3289 took counsel H2205 with the old men, H5975 that had stood H6440 before H8010 Solomon H1 his father H2416 while he yet lived, H559 saying, H3289 What counsel H7725 give ye me to return H1697 answer H5971 to this people?
  7 H1696 And they spake H559 unto him, saying, H5650 If thou wilt be a servant H5971 unto this people H3117 this day, H5647 and wilt serve H6030 them, and answer H1696 them, and speak H2896 good H1697 words H5650 to them, then they will be thy servants H3117 for ever.
  8 H5800 But he forsook H6098 the counsel H2205 of the old men H3289 which they had given H3289 him, and took counsel H3206 with the young men H1431 that were grown up H5975 with him, that stood H6440 before him.
  9 H559 And he said H3289 unto them, What counsel give H7725 ye, that we may H1697 return answer H5971 to this people, H1696 who have spoken H559 to me, saying, H7043 Make H5923 the yoke H1 that thy father H5414 did put H7043 upon us lighter?
  10 H3206 And the young men H1431 that were grown up H1696 with him spake H559 unto him, saying, H559 Thus shalt thou say H5971 unto this people H1696 that spake H559 unto thee, saying, H1 Thy father H3513 made H5923 our yoke H3513 heavy, H7043 but make thou it lighter H1696 unto us; thus shalt thou speak H6995 unto them, My little H5666 finger is thicker H1 than my father's H4975 loins.
  11 H1 And now whereas my father H6006 did lade H3515 you with a heavy H5923 yoke, H3254 I will add H5923 to your yoke: H1 my father H3256 chastised H7752 you with whips, H3256 but I will chastise H6137 you with scorpions.
  12 H3379 So Jeroboam H5971 and all the people H935 came H7346 to Rehoboam H7992 the third H3117 day, H4428 as the king H1696 bade, H559 saying, H7725 Come to me again H7992 the third H3117 day.
  13 H4428 And the king H6030 answered H5971 the people H7186 roughly, H5800 and forsook H6098 the counsel H2205 of the old men H3289 which they had given him,
  14 H1696 and spake H6098 to them after the counsel H3206 of the young men, H559 saying, H1 My father H3513 made H5923 your yoke H3513 heavy, H3254 but I will add H5923 to your yoke: H1 my father H3256 chastised H7752 you with whips, H3256 but I will chastise H6137 you with scorpions.
  15 H4428 So the king H8085 hearkened H5971 not unto the people; H5438 for it was H3068 a thing brought about of Jehovah, H6965 that he might establish H1697 his word, H3068 which Jehovah H1696 spake H3027 by H281 Ahijah H7888 the Shilonite H3379 to Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat.
  16 H7725 And H3478 when all Israel H7200 saw H4428 that the king H8085 hearkened H5971 not unto them, the people H1697 answered H4428 the king, H559 saying, H2506 What portion H1732 have we in David? H5159 neither have we inheritance H1121 in the son H3448 of Jesse: H168 to your tents, H3478 O Israel: H7200 now see H1004 to thine own house, H1732 David. H3478 So Israel H3212 departed H168 unto their tents.
  17 H1121 But as for the children H3478 of Israel H3427 that dwelt H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah, H7346 Rehoboam H4427 reigned over them.
  18 H4428 Then king H7346 Rehoboam H7971 sent H151 Adoram, H4522 who was over the men subject to taskwork; H3478 and all Israel H7275 stoned H4191 him to death H68 with stones. H4428 And king H7346 Rehoboam H553 made speed H5927 to get him up H4818 to his chariot, H5127 to flee H3389 to Jerusalem.
  19 H3478 So Israel H6586 rebelled H1004 against the house H1732 of David H3117 unto this day.
  20 H3478 And it came to pass, when all Israel H8085 heard H3379 that Jeroboam H7725 was returned, H7971 that they sent H7121 and called H5712 him unto the congregation, H4427 and made him king H3478 over all Israel: H310 there was none that followed H1004 the house H1732 of David, H2108 but H7626 the tribe H3063 of Judah only.
  21 H7346 And when Rehoboam H935 was come H3389 to Jerusalem, H6950 he assembled H1004 all the house H3063 of Judah, H7626 and the tribe H1144 of Benjamin, H3967 a hundred H8084 and fourscore H505 thousand H977 chosen men, H6213 that were warriors, H3898 to fight H1004 against the house H3478 of Israel, H7725 to bring H4410 the kingdom H7725 again H7346 to Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon.
  22 H1697 But the word H430 of God H8098 came unto Shemaiah H376 the man H430 of God, H559 saying,
  23 H559 Speak H7346 unto Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H4428 king H3063 of Judah, H1004 and unto all the house H3063 of Judah H1144 and Benjamin, H3499 and to the rest H5971 of the people, H559 saying,
  24 H559 Thus saith H3068 Jehovah, H5927 Ye shall not go up, H3898 nor fight H251 against your brethren H1121 the children H3478 of Israel: H7725 return H376 every man H1004 to his house; H1697 for this thing H1961 is H8085 of me. So they hearkened H1697 unto the word H3068 of Jehovah, H7725 and returned H3212 and went their way, H1697 according to the word H3068 of Jehovah.
  25 H3379 Then Jeroboam H1129 built H7927 Shechem H2022 in the hill-country H669 of Ephraim, H3427 and dwelt H3318 therein; and he went out H1129 from thence, and built H6439 Penuel.
  26 H3379 And Jeroboam H559 said H3820 in his heart, H4467 Now will the kingdom H7725 return H1004 to the house H1732 of David:
  27 H5971 if this people H5927 go up H6213 to offer H2077 sacrifices H1004 in the house H3068 of Jehovah H3389 at Jerusalem, H3820 then will the heart H5971 of this people H7725 turn again H113 unto their lord, H7346 even unto Rehoboam H4428 king H3063 of Judah; H2026 and they will kill H7725 me, and return H7346 to Rehoboam H4428 king H3063 of Judah.
  28 H4428 Whereupon the king H3289 took counsel, H6213 and made H8147 two H5695 calves H2091 of gold; H559 and he said H7227 unto them, It is too much H5927 for you to go up H3389 to Jerusalem: H430 behold thy gods, H3478 O Israel, H5927 which brought thee up H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt.
  29 H7760 And he set H259 the one H1008 in Beth-el, H259 and the other H5414 put H1835 he in Dan.
  30 H1697 And this thing H2403 became a sin; H5971 for the people H3212 went H6440 to worship before H259 the one, H1835 even unto Dan.
  31 H6213 And he made H1004 houses H1116 of high places, H6213 and made H3548 priests H7098 from among H5971 all the people, H1121 that were not of the sons H3878 of Levi.
  32 H3379 And Jeroboam H6213 ordained H2282 a feast H8066 in the eighth H2320 month, H2568 on the fifteenth H3117 day H2320 of the month, H2282 like unto the feast H3063 that is in Judah, H5927 and he went H4196 up unto the altar; H6213 so did H1008 he in Beth-el, H2076 sacrificing H5695 unto the calves H6213 that he had made: H5975 and he placed H1008 in Beth-el H3548 the priests H1116 of the high places H6213 that he had made.
  33 H5927 And he went H4196 up unto the altar H6213 which he had made H1008 in Beth-el H2568 on the fifteenth H3117 day H8066 in the eighth H2320 month, H2320 even in the month H908 which he had devised H3820 of his own heart: H6213 and he ordained H2282 a feast H1121 for the children H3478 of Israel, H5927 and went H4196 up unto the altar, H6999 to burn incense.
