Leeser(i)
16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people gave the king an answer saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we an inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel: now see to thy own house, David. So did Israel go away unto their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, over them did Rehobo’am reign.
18 Then sent king Rehobo’am Adoram, who was over the tribute; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehobo’am made speed with all his might to get up into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 So did Israel rebel against the house of David unto this day.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jerobo’am was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, save the tribe of Judah alone.
