OET (OET-RV) Instead he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “My father placed a heavy burden on you all, but as for me, I’ll add to those demands. My father punished you all with whips, but as for me, I’ll punish you all with scorpions.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
burdened you with a heavy yoke
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke to,them according_to,advice_of the=youths to=say father_of,my made_~_heavy DOM yoke_of,your_all's and,I add on/upon yoke_of,your_all's father_of,my disciplined DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,whips and,I discipline DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,scorpions )
A heavy yoke is a metaphor for very difficult labor and requirements. See how you translated this in [1 Kings 12:4](../12/04.md). Alternate translation: “treated you cruelly” or “forced you to work very hard”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke to,them according_to,advice_of the=youths to=say father_of,my made_~_heavy DOM yoke_of,your_all's and,I add on/upon yoke_of,your_all's father_of,my disciplined DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,whips and,I discipline DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,scorpions )
This metaphor means that the punishment Rehoboam plans to give will be worse than what his father gave. See how you translated this in [1 Kings 12:11](../12/11.md). Alternate translation: “My father used whips to force you to work but I will use even crueler punishment”
12:12-17 Rehoboam’s decision to heed the counsel of his younger advisers was disastrous; it led the northern tribes to secede, followed by years of intermittent warfare (14:30; 15:7, 32).
• the will of the Lord: God directed these human decisions to fulfill the prophesied judgment against Solomon (11:11-13, 29-39).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
