And Rehoboamh7346 wenth3212h8799 to Shechemh7927: for all Israelh3478 were comeh935h8804 to Shechemh7927 to make him kingh4427h8687.

2

And it came to pass, when Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, who was yet in Egypth4714, heardh8085h8800 of it , (for he was fledh1272h8804 from the presenceh6440 of kingh4428 Solomonh8010, and Jeroboamh3379 dwelth3427h8799 in Egypth4714;)

3

That they senth7971h8799 and calledh7121h8799 him. And Jeroboamh3379 and all the congregationh6951 of Israelh3478 cameh935h8799, and spakeh1696h8762 unto Rehoboamh7346, sayingh559h8800,

4

Thy fatherh1 madeh7185 our yokeh5923 grievoush7185h8689: now therefore make thou the grievoush7186 serviceh5656 of thy fatherh1, and his heavyh3515 yokeh5923 which he puth5414h8804 upon us, lighterh7043h8685, and we will serveh5647h8799 thee.

5

And he saidh559h8799 unto them, Departh3212h8798 yet for threeh7969 daysh3117, then come againh7725h8798 to me. And the peopleh5971 departedh3212h8799.

6

And kingh4428 Rehoboamh7346 consultedh3289h8735 with the old menh2205, that stoodh5975h8802 beforeh6440 Solomonh8010 his fatherh1 while he yet livedh2416, and saidh559h8800, How do ye adviseh3289h8737 that I mayh7725h8687 answerh1697 this peopleh5971?

7

And they spakeh1696h8762 unto him, sayingh559h8800, If thou wilt be a servanth5650 unto this peopleh5971 this dayh3117, and wilt serveh5647h8804 them, and answerh6030h8804 them, and speakh1696h8765 goodh2896 wordsh1697 to them, then they will be thy servantsh5650 for everh3117.

8

But he forsookh5800h8799 the counselh6098 of the old menh2205, which they had givenh3289h8804 him, and consultedh3289h8735 with the young menh3206 that were grown uph1431h8804 with him, and which stoodh5975h8802 beforeh6440 him:

9

And he saidh559h8799 unto them, What counsel giveh3289h8737 ye that we mayh7725h8686 answerh1697 this peopleh5971, who have spokenh1696h8765 to me, sayingh559h8800, Makeh7043 the yokeh5923 which thy fatherh1 did puth5414h8804 upon us lighterh7043h8685?

10

And the young menh3206 that were grown uph1431h8804 with him spakeh1696h8762 unto him, sayingh559h8800, Thus shalt thou speakh559h8799 unto this peopleh5971 that spakeh1696h8765 unto thee, sayingh559h8800, Thy fatherh1 madeh3513 our yokeh5923 heavyh3513h8689, but make thou it lighterh7043h8685 unto us; thus shalt thou sayh1696h8762 unto them, My littleh6995 finger shall be thickerh5666h8804 than my father'sh1 loinsh4975.

11

And now whereas my fatherh1 did ladeh6006h8689 you with a heavyh3515 yokeh5923, I will addh3254h8686 to your yokeh5923: my fatherh1 hath chastisedh3256h8765 you with whipsh7752, but I will chastiseh3256h8762 you with scorpionsh6137.

12

So Jeroboamh3379 and all the peopleh5971 cameh935h8799 to Rehoboamh7346 the thirdh7992 dayh3117, as the kingh4428 had appointedh1696h8765, sayingh559h8800, Come to me againh7725h8798 the thirdh7992 dayh3117.

13

And the kingh4428 answeredh6030h8799 the peopleh5971 roughlyh7186, and forsookh5800h8799 the old men'sh2205 counselh6098 that they gaveh3289h8804 him; roughly: Heb. hardly

14

And spakeh1696h8762 to them after the counselh6098 of the young menh3206, sayingh559h8800, My fatherh1 madeh3513 your yokeh5923 heavyh3513h8689, and I will addh3254h8686 to your yokeh5923: my fatherh1 also chastisedh3256h8765 you with whipsh7752, but I will chastiseh3256h8762 you with scorpionsh6137.

15

Wherefore the kingh4428 hearkenedh8085h8804 not unto the peopleh5971; for the causeh5438 was from the LORDh3068, that he might performh6965h8687 his sayingh1697, which the LORDh3068 spakeh1696h8765 byh3027 Ahijahh281 the Shiloniteh7888 unto Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028.

16

Soh7725h8686 when all Israelh3478 sawh7200h8799 that the kingh4428 hearkenedh8085h8804 not unto them, the peopleh5971 answeredh1697 the kingh4428, sayingh559h8800, What portionh2506 have we in Davidh1732? neither have we inheritanceh5159 in the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448: to your tentsh168, O Israelh3478: now seeh7200h8798 to thine own househ1004, Davidh1732. So Israelh3478 departedh3212h8799 unto their tentsh168.

17

But as for the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 which dwelth3427h8802 in the citiesh5892 of Judahh3063, Rehoboamh7346 reignedh4427h8799 over them.

18

Then kingh4428 Rehoboamh7346 senth7971h8799 Adoramh151, who was over the tributeh4522; and all Israelh3478 stonedh7275h8799 him with stonesh68, that he diedh4191h8799. Therefore kingh4428 Rehoboamh7346 made speedh553h8694 to get him uph5927h8800 to his charioth4818, to fleeh5127h8800 to Jerusalemh3389. made...: Heb. strengthened himself

So Israelh3478 rebelledh6586h8799 against the househ1004 of Davidh1732 unto this dayh3117. rebelled: or, fell away

20

And it came to pass, when all Israelh3478 heardh8085h8800 that Jeroboamh3379 was come againh7725h8804, that they senth7971h8799 and calledh7121h8799 him unto the congregationh5712, and made him kingh4427h8686 over all Israelh3478: there was none that followedh310 the househ1004 of Davidh1732, buth2108 the tribeh7626 of Judahh3063 only.

21

And when Rehoboamh7346 was comeh935h8799 to Jerusalemh3389, he assembledh6950h8686 all the househ1004 of Judahh3063, with the tribeh7626 of Benjaminh1144, an hundredh3967 and fourscoreh8084 thousandh505 chosen menh977h8803, which were warriorsh6213h8802h4421, to fighth3898h8736 against the househ1004 of Israelh3478, to bringh7725 the kingdomh4410 againh7725h8687 to Rehoboamh7346 the sonh1121 of Solomonh8010.

22

But the wordh1697 of Godh430 came unto Shemaiahh8098 the manh376 of Godh430, sayingh559h8800,

23

Speakh559h8798 unto Rehoboamh7346, the sonh1121 of Solomonh8010, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and unto all the househ1004 of Judahh3063 and Benjaminh1144, and to the remnanth3499 of the peopleh5971, sayingh559h8800,

24

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, Ye shall not go uph5927h8799, nor fighth3898h8735 against your brethrenh251 the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478: returnh7725h8798 every manh376 to his househ1004; for this thingh1697 ish1961h8738 from me. They hearkenedh8085h8799 therefore to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, and returnedh7725h8799 to departh3212h8800, according to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068.

25

Then Jeroboamh3379 builth1129h8799 Shechemh7927 in mounth2022 Ephraimh669, and dwelth3427h8799 therein; and went outh3318h8799 from thence, and builth1129h8799 Penuelh6439.

26

And Jeroboamh3379 saidh559h8799 in his hearth3820, Now shall the kingdomh4467 returnh7725h8799 to the househ1004 of Davidh1732:

27

If this peopleh5971 go uph5927h8799 to doh6213h8800 sacrificeh2077 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 at Jerusalemh3389, then shall the hearth3820 of this peopleh5971 turn againh7725h8804 unto their lordh113, even unto Rehoboamh7346 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and they shall killh2026h8804 me, and go againh7725h8804 to Rehoboamh7346 kingh4428 of Judahh3063.

28

Whereupon the kingh4428 took counselh3289h8735, and madeh6213h8799 twoh8147 calvesh5695 of goldh2091, and saidh559h8799 unto them, It is too muchh7227 for you to go uph5927h8800 to Jerusalemh3389: behold thy godsh430, O Israelh3478, which brought thee uph5927h8689 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714.

And he seth7760h8799 the oneh259 in Bethelh1008, and the otherh259 puth5414h8804 he in Danh1835.

And this thingh1697 became a sinh2403: for the peopleh5971 wenth3212h8799 to worship beforeh6440 the oneh259, even unto Danh1835.

31

And he madeh6213h8799 an househ1004 of high placesh1116, and madeh6213h8799 priestsh3548 of the lowesth7098 of the peopleh5971, which were not of the sonsh1121 of Levih3878.
