10 And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for to Shechem all Israel had come to make him king. 2 And it happened when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard, for he was in Egypt where he had fled from the face of King Solomon. And Jeroboam returned from Egypt. 3 And they sent and they called to him, and Jeroboam and all Israel came. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 “Your father hardened our yoke. But now, lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he gave to us, and we will serve you.” 5 And he said to them, “Yet three days and return to me.” And the people went.
6 And King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had been standing before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, “How do you all advise to bring back an answer to this people?” 7 And they spoke to him, saying, “If you are good to this people and are favorable to them, and speak to them good words, then they will be for you servants all the days.” 8 But he abandoned the advice of the elders who had advised him, and he consulted the young men who had grown with him, standing before him. 9 And he said to them, “What do you all advise, that we may bring back an answer to this people who spoke to me, saying, ‘Lighten from the yoke that your father gave us’?” 10 And the young men who had grown with him spoke, saying, “Thus you shall say to the people who spoke to you, saying ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you yourself lighten from on us.’ Thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father. 11 So now, my father loaded on you all a heavy yoke, but I myself will add to your yoke. My father rebuked you all with whips, but I with scorpions.’”
12 And Jeroboam came and all the people to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king spoke saying, “Return to me on the third day.” 13 And the king answered them harshly. And King Rehoboam abandoned the advice of the elders. 14 And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “I will make heavy your yoke, and I myself will add to it. My father rebuked you all with whips, but I with scorpions.”
15 And the king did not listen to the people, because it was a turn of affairs from God, in order that Yahweh would establish his word that he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, and the people answered the king, saying, “What for us is a portion with David? And no inheritance with the son of Jesse. Each to your tents, Israel! Now, see your house, David.” And all Israel went to his tents. 17 But the sons of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah, and Rehoboam reigned over them. 18 And King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the forced labor, but the sons of Israel stoned him with stones and he died. And King Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up in the chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 And Israel has rebelled against the house of David until this day.
