1 Kings 12:1-19

And Rehoboam
<07346>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Shechem
<07927>_:

for all Israel
<03478>

were come
<0935> (8804)

to Shechem
<07927>

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.

And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who was yet in Egypt
<04714>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

[of it], (for he was fled
<01272> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and Jeroboam
<03379>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Egypt
<04714>;)

That they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him. And Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made
<07185> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

grievous
<07185> (8689)_:

now therefore make thou the grievous
<07186>

service
<05656>

of thy father
<01>_,

and his heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

which he put
<05414> (8804)

upon us, lighter
<07043> (8685)_,

and we will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Depart
<03212> (8798)

yet [for] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

then come again
<07725> (8798)

to me. And the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

And king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the old men
<02205>_,

that stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

Solomon
<08010>

his father
<01>

while he yet lived
<02416>_,

and said
<0559> (8800)_,

How do ye advise
<03289> (8737)

that I may
<07725> (8687)

answer
<01697>

this people
<05971>_?

And they spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If thou wilt be a servant
<05650>

unto this people
<05971>

this day
<03117>_,

and wilt serve
<05647> (8804)

them, and answer
<06030> (8804)

them, and speak
<01696> (8765)

good
<02896>

words
<01697>

to them, then they will be thy servants
<05650>

for ever
<03117>_.

But he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the counsel
<06098>

of the old men
<02205>_,

which they had given
<03289> (8804)

him, and consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the young men
<03206>

that were grown up
<01431> (8804)

with him, [and] which stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

him:

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What counsel give
<03289> (8737)

ye that we may
<07725> (8686)

answer
<01697>

this people
<05971>_,

who have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Make
<07043> (0)

the yoke
<05923>

which thy father
<01>

did put
<05414> (8804)

upon us lighter
<07043> (8685)_?

And the young men
<03206>

that were grown up
<01431> (8804)

with him spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shalt thou speak
<0559> (8799)

unto this people
<05971>

that spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

but make thou [it] lighter
<07043> (8685)

unto us; thus shalt thou say
<01696> (8762)

unto them, My little
<06995>

[finger] shall be thicker
<05666> (8804)

than my father's
<01>

loins
<04975>_.

And now whereas my father
<01>

did lade
<06006> (8689)

you with a heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>_,

I will add
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

hath chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I will chastise
<03256> (8762)

you with scorpions
<06137>_.

So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

as the king
<04428>

had appointed
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come to me again
<07725> (8798)

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_.

And the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the people
<05971>

roughly
<07186>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8799)

the old men's
<02205>

counsel
<06098>

that they gave
<03289> (8804)

him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}

And spake
<01696> (8762)

to them after the counsel
<06098>

of the young men
<03206>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

My father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

your yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

and I will add
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

[also] chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I will chastise
<03256> (8762)

you with scorpions
<06137>_.

Wherefore the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the people
<05971>_;

for the cause
<05438>

was from the LORD
<03068>_,

that he might perform
<06965> (8687)

his saying
<01697>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>

unto Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_.

So
<07725> (8686)

when all Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto them, the people
<05971>

answered
<01697>

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What portion
<02506>

have we in David
<01732>_?

neither [have we] inheritance
<05159>

in the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_:

to your tents
<0168>_,

O Israel
<03478>_:

now see
<07200> (8798)

to thine own house
<01004>_,

David
<01732>_.

So Israel
<03478>

departed
<03212> (8799)

unto their tents
<0168>_.

But [as for] the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Rehoboam
<07346>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over them.

Then king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Adoram
<0151>_,

who [was] over the tribute
<04522>_;

and all Israel
<03478>

stoned
<07275> (8799)

him with stones
<068>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

Therefore king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

made speed
<0553> (8694)

to get him up
<05927> (8800)

to his chariot
<04818>_,

to flee
<05127> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{made...: Heb. strengthened himself}

So Israel
<03478>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{rebelled: or, fell away}
