  • 2 Chr 10:1-9 : 1 And Rehoboam{H7346} went{H3212}{(H8799)} to Shechem{H7927}: for to Shechem{H7927} were all Israel{H3478} come{H935}{(H8804)} to make him king{H4427}{(H8687)}. 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat{H5028}, who was in Egypt{H4714}, whither he had fled{H1272}{(H8804)} from the presence{H6440} of Solomon{H8010} the king{H4428}, heard{H8085}{(H8800)} it, that Jeroboam{H3379} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} out of Egypt{H4714}. 3 And they sent{H7971}{(H8799)} and called{H7121}{(H8799)} him. So Jeroboam{H3379} and all Israel{H3478} came{H935}{(H8799)} and spake{H1696}{(H8762)} to Rehoboam{H7346}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 4 Thy father{H1} made our yoke{H5923} grievous{H7185}{(H8689)}: now therefore ease{H7043}{(H8685)} thou somewhat the grievous{H7186} servitude{H5656} of thy father{H1}, and his heavy{H3515} yoke{H5923} that he put{H5414}{(H8804)} upon us, and we will serve{H5647}{(H8799)} thee. 5 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Come again{H7725}{(H8798)} unto me after three{H7969} days{H3117}. And the people{H5971} departed{H3212}{(H8799)}. 6 And king{H4428} Rehoboam{H7346} took counsel{H3289}{(H8735)} with the old{H2205} men that had stood{H5975}{(H8802)} before{H6440} Solomon{H8010} his father{H1} while he yet lived{H2416}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, What{H349} counsel give{H3289}{(H8737)} ye me to return{H7725}{(H8687)} answer{H1697} to this people{H5971}? 7 And they spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto him, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, If thou be kind{H2896} to this people{H5971}, and please{H7521}{(H8804)} them, and speak{H1696}{(H8765)} good{H2896} words{H1697} to them, they will be thy servants{H5650} for ever{H3117}. 8 But he forsook{H5800}{(H8799)} the counsel{H6098} which the old men{H2205} gave{H3289}{(H8804)} him, and took counsel{H3289}{(H8735)} with the young men{H3206} that were brought up{H1431}{(H8804)} with him, that stood{H5975}{(H8802)} before{H6440} him. 9 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, What advice{H3289}{(H8737)} give ye that we may return{H7725}{(H8686)} answer{H1697} to this people{H5971}, which have spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} to me, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Ease{H7043}{(H8685)} somewhat the yoke{H5923} that thy father{H1} did put{H5414}{(H8804)} upon us? 10 And the young men{H3206} that were brought up{H1431}{(H8804)} with him spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto him, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Thus shalt thou answer{H559}{(H8799)} the people{H5971} that spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto thee, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Thy father{H1} made{H3513} our yoke{H5923} heavy{H3513}{(H8689)}, but make thou it somewhat lighter{H7043}{(H8685)} for us; thus shalt thou say{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, My little{H6995} finger shall be thicker{H5666}{(H8804)} than my father's{H1} loins{H4975}. 11 For whereas{H6258} my father{H1} put{H6006}{(H8689)} a heavy{H3515} yoke{H5923} upon you, I will put more{H3254}{(H8686)} to your yoke{H5923}: my father{H1} chastised{H3256}{(H8765)} you with whips{H7752}, but I will chastise you with scorpions{H6137}. 12 So Jeroboam{H3379} and all the people{H5971} came{H935}{(H8799)} to Rehoboam{H7346} on the third{H7992} day{H3117}, as the king{H4428} bade{H1696}{(H8765)}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Come again{H7725}{(H8798)} to me on the third{H7992} day{H3117}. 13 And the king{H4428} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} them roughly{H7186}; and king{H4428} Rehoboam{H7346} forsook{H5800}{(H8799)} the counsel{H6098} of the old men{H2205}, 14 And answered{H1696}{(H8762)} them after the advice{H6098} of the young men{H3206}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, My father{H1} made your yoke{H5923} heavy{H3513}{(H8689)}, but I will add{H3254}{(H8686)} thereto: my father{H1} chastised{H3256}{(H8765)} you with whips{H7752}, but I will chastise you with scorpions{H6137}. 15 So the king{H4428} hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto the people{H5971}: for the cause{H5252} was of God{H430}, that the LORD{H3068} might perform{H6965}{(H8687)} his word{H1697}, which he spake{H1696}{(H8765)} by the hand{H3027} of Ahijah{H281} the Shilonite{H7888} to Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat{H5028}. 16 And when all Israel{H3478} saw{H7200}{(H8804)} that the king{H4428} would not hearken{H8085}{(H8804)} unto them, the people{H5971} answered{H7725}{(H8686)} the king{H4428}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, What portion{H2506} have we in David{H1732}? and we have none inheritance{H5159} in the son{H1121} of Jesse{H3448}: every man{H376} to your tents{H168}, O Israel{H3478}: and now, David{H1732}, see{H7200}{(H8798)} to thine own house{H1004}. So all Israel{H3478} went{H3212}{(H8799)} to their tents{H168}. 17 But as for the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} that dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063}, Rehoboam{H7346} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} over them. 18 Then king{H4428} Rehoboam{H7346} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} Hadoram{H1913} that was over the tribute{H4522}; and the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} stoned{H7275}{(H8799)} him with stones{H68}, that he died{H4191}{(H8799)}.
