Rotherham(i)
13 And the king answered them harshly,––and King Rehoboam declined the counsel of the old men;
14 and spake unto them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add thereunto,––My father, chastised you with whips, But, I, with scorpions.
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people,––for there had come to be a turn from God, to the end Yahweh might establish his word which he had spoken by means of Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
16 And, when, all Israel, [saw] that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying––What portion have, we, in David, or inheritance in the son of Jesse? Every man, to your homes, O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And all Israel departed to their homes.
