1
H7346
And Rehoboam
H3212 [H8799]
went
H7927
to Shechem:
H7927
for to Shechem
H3478
had all Israel
H935 [H8804]
come
H4427 [H8687]
to make him king.
2
H3379
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H5028
of Nebat,
H4714
who was in Egypt,
H1272 [H8804]
where he had fled
H6440
from the face
H8010
of Solomon
H4428
the king,
H8085 [H8800]
heard
H3379
it, that Jeroboam
H7725 [H8799]
returned
H4714
from Egypt.
3
H7971 [H8799]
And they sent
H7121 [H8799]
and called
H3379
him. So Jeroboam
H3478
and all Israel
H935 [H8799]
came
H1696 [H8762]
and spoke
H7346
to Rehoboam,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
4
H1
Thy father
H5923
made our yoke
H7185 [H8689]
grievous:
H7043 [H8685]
now therefore ease
H7186
thou somewhat the grievous
H5656
servitude
H1
of thy father,
H3515
and his heavy
H5923
yoke
H5414 [H8804]
that he put
H5647 [H8799]
upon us, and we will serve thee.
5
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H7725 [H8798]
to them, Come again
H7969
to me after three
H3117
days.
H5971
And the people
H3212 [H8799]
departed.
6
H4428
And king
H7346
Rehoboam
H3289 [H8735]
took counsel
H2205
with the old
H5975 [H8802]
men that had stood
H6440
at the face of
H8010
Solomon
H1
his father
H2416
while he yet lived,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H349
What
H3289 [H8737]
counsel give
H7725 [H8687]
ye me to return
H1697
answer
H5971
to this people?
7
H1696 [H8762]
And they spoke
H559 [H8800]
to him, saying,
H2896
If thou wilt be kind
H5971
to this people,
H7521 [H8804]
and please
H1696 [H8765]
them, and speak
H2896
good
H1697
words
H5650
to them, they will be thy servants
H3117
for ever.
8
H5800 [H8799]
But he forsook
H6098
the counsel
H2205
which the old men
H3289 [H8804]
gave
H3289 [H8735]
him, and took counsel
H3206
with the young men
H1431 [H8804]
that were brought up
H5975 [H8802]
with him, that stood
H6440
at the face of him.
9
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3289 [H8737]
to them, What advice
H7725 [H8686]
give ye that we may return
H1697
answer
H5971
to this people,
H1696 [H8765]
who have spoken
H559 [H8800]
to me, saying,
H7043 [H8685]
Ease
H5923
somewhat the yoke
H1
that thy father
H5414 [H8804]
put upon us?
10
H3206
And the young men
H1431 [H8804]
that were brought up
H1696 [H8762]
with him spoke
H559 [H8800]
to him, saying,
H559 [H8799]
Thus shalt thou answer
H5971
the people
H1696 [H8765]
that spoke
H559 [H8800]
to thee, saying,
H1
Thy father
H3513 0
made
H5923
our yoke
H3513 [H8689]
heavy,
H7043 [H8685]
but make thou it somewhat lighter
H559 [H8799]
for us; thus shalt thou say
H6995
to them, My little
H5666 [H8804]
finger shall be thicker
H1
than my father's
H4975
thighs.
11
H6258
For though
H1
my father
H6006 [H8689]
loaded
H3515
a heavy
H5923
yoke
H3254 [H8686]
upon you, I will put more
H5923
to your yoke:
H1
my father
H3256 [H8765]
chastised
H7752
you with whips,
H6137
but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12
H3379
So Jeroboam
H5971
and all the people
H935 [H8799]
came
H7346
to Rehoboam
H7992
on the third
H3117
day,
H4428
as the king
H1696 [H8765]
appointed,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H7725 [H8798]
Come again
H7992
to me on the third
H3117
day.
13
H4428
And the king
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H7186
them roughly;
H4428
and king
H7346
Rehoboam
H5800 [H8799]
forsook
H6098
the counsel
H2205
of the old men,
14
H1696 [H8762]
And answered
H6098
them after the advice
H3206
of the young men,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1
My father
H5923
made your yoke
H3513 [H8689]
heavy,
H3254 [H8686]
but I will add
H1
to it: my father
H3256 [H8765]
chastised
H7752
you with whips,
H6137
but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15
H4428
So the king
H8085 [H8804]
hearkened
H5971
not to the people:
H5252
for the cause
H430
was of God,
H3068
that the LORD
H6965 [H8687]
might raise
H1697
his word,
H1696 [H8765]
which he spoke
H3027
by the hand
H281
of Ahijah
H7888
the Shilonite
H3379
to Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H5028
of Nebat.
16
H3478
And when all Israel
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H4428
that the king
H8085 [H8804]
would not hearken
H5971
to them, the people
H7725 [H8686]
answered
H4428
the king,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H2506
What portion
H1732
have we in David?
H5159
and we have no inheritance
H1121
in the son
H3448
of Jesse:
H376
every man
H168
to your tents,
H3478
O Israel:
H1732
and now, David,
H7200 [H8798]
see
H1004
to thy own house.
H3478
So all Israel
H3212 [H8799]
went
H168
to their tents.
17
H1121
But as for the sons
H3478
of Israel
H3427 [H8802]
that dwelt
H5892
in the cities
H3063
of Judah,
H7346
Rehoboam
H4427 [H8799]
reigned over them.
18
H4428
Then king
H7346
Rehoboam
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H1913
Hadoram
H4522
that was over the forced labour;
H1121
and the sons
H3478
of Israel
H7275 [H8799]
stoned
H68
him with stones,
H4191 [H8799]
that he died.
H4428
But king
H7346
Rehoboam
H553 [H8694]
made speed
H5927 [H8800]
to get
H4818
into his chariot,
H5127 [H8800]
to flee
H3389
to Jerusalem.
