1 Kings 12:1-33

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}

And it came to pass, when all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8800)

that Jeroboam
<03379>

was come again
<07725> (8804)_,

that they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him unto the congregation
<05712>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)

over all Israel
<03478>_:

there was none that followed
<0310>

the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

but
<02108>

the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

only.

And when Rehoboam
<07346>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

he assembled
<06950> (8686)

all the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

with the tribe
<07626>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

an hundred
<03967>

and fourscore
<08084>

thousand
<0505>

chosen men
<0977> (8803)_,

which were warriors
<06213> (8802) <04421>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to bring
<07725> (0)

the kingdom
<04410>

again
<07725> (8687)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

But the word
<01697>

of God
<0430>

came unto Shemaiah
<08098>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>_,

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and unto all the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

and to the remnant
<03499>

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,

nor fight
<03898> (8735)

against your brethren
<0251>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

return
<07725> (8798)

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_;

for this thing
<01697>

is
<01961> (8738)

from me. They hearkened
<08085> (8799)

therefore to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

Then Jeroboam
<03379>

built
<01129> (8799)

Shechem
<07927>

in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein; and went out
<03318> (8799)

from thence, and built
<01129> (8799)

Penuel
<06439>_.

And Jeroboam
<03379>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Now shall the kingdom
<04467>

return
<07725> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_:

If this people
<05971>

go up
<05927> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

sacrifice
<02077>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

then shall the heart
<03820>

of this people
<05971>

turn again
<07725> (8804)

unto their lord
<0113>_,

[even] unto Rehoboam
<07346>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and they shall kill
<02026> (8804)

me, and go again
<07725> (8804)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

Whereupon the king
<04428>

took counsel
<03289> (8735)_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

calves
<05695>

[of] gold
<02091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, It is too much
<07227>

for you to go up
<05927> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_:

behold thy gods
<0430>_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

which brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And he set
<07760> (8799)

the one
<0259>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and the other
<0259>

put
<05414> (8804)

he in Dan
<01835>_.

And this thing
<01697>

became a sin
<02403>_:

for the people
<05971>

went
<03212> (8799)

[to worship] before
<06440>

the one
<0259>_,

[even] unto Dan
<01835>_.

And he made
<06213> (8799)

an house
<01004>

of high places
<01116>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

priests
<03548>

of the lowest
<07098>

of the people
<05971>_,

which were not of the sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_.

And Jeroboam
<03379>

ordained
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>

in the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

on the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>_,

like unto the feast
<02282>

that [is] in Judah
<03063>_,

and he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>_.

So did
<06213> (8804)

he in Bethel
<01008>_,

sacrificing
<02076> (8763)

unto the calves
<05695>

that he had made
<06213> (8804)_:

and he placed
<05975> (8689)

in Bethel
<01008>

the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_.

{offered...: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}

So he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)

in Bethel
<01008>

the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

[even] in the month
<02320>

which he had devised
<0908> (8804)

of his own heart
<03820>_;

and ordained
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>_,

and burnt incense
<06999> (8687)_.

{offered...: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt...: Heb. to burn incense}
