Chapter 10
And
Rehoboam
went
to
Shechem:
for
to
Shechem
were
all
Israel
come
to
make
him
king.
2
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
was
in
Egypt,
whither
he
had
fled
from
the
presence
of
Solomon
the
king,
heard
it,
that
Jeroboam
returned
out
of
Egypt.
3
And
they
sent
and
called
him.
So
Jeroboam
and
all
Israel
came
and
spake
to
Rehoboam,
saying,
4
Thy
father
made
our
yoke
grievous:
now
therefore
ease
thou
somewhat
the
grievous
servitude
of
thy
father,
and
his
heavy
yoke
that
he
put
upon
us,
and
we
will
serve
thee.
5
And
he
said
unto
them,
Come
again
unto
me
after
three
days.
And
the
people
departed.
6
And
king
Rehoboam
took
counsel
with
the
old
men
that
had
stood
before
Solomon
his
father
while
he
yet
lived,
saying,
What
counsel
give
ye
me
to
return
answer
to
this
people?
7
And
they
spake
unto
him,
saying,
If
thou
be
kind
to
this
people,
and
please
them,
and
speak
good
words
to
them,
they
will
be
thy
servants
for
ever.
8
But
he
forsook
the
counsel
which
the
old
men
gave
him,
and
took
counsel
with
the
young
men
that
were
brought
up
with
him,
that
stood
before
him.
9
And
he
said
unto
them,
What
advice
give
ye
that
we
may
return
answer
to
this
people,
which
have
spoken
to
me,
saying,
Ease
somewhat
the
yoke
that
thy
father
did
put
upon
us?
10
And
the
young
men
that
were
brought
up
with
him
spake
unto
him,
saying,
Thus
shalt
thou
answer
the
people
that
spake
unto
thee,
saying,
Thy
father
made
our
yoke
heavy,
but
make
thou
it
somewhat
lighter
for
us;
thus
shalt
thou
say
unto
them,
My
little
finger
shall
be
thicker
than
my
father’s
loins.
11
For
whereas
my
father
put
a
heavy
yoke
upon
you,
I
will
put
more
to
your
yoke:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I
will
chastise
you
with
scorpions.
12
So
Jeroboam
and
all
the
people
came
to
Rehoboam
on
the
third
day,
as
the
king
bade,
saying,
Come
again
to
me
on
the
third
day.
13
And
the
king
answered
them
roughly;
and
king
Rehoboam
forsook
the
counsel
of
the
old
men,
14
And
answered
them
after
the
advice
of
the
young
men,
saying,
My
father
made
your
yoke
heavy,
but
I
will
add
thereto:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I
will
chastise
you
with
scorpions.
15
So
the
king
hearkened
not
unto
the
people:
for
the
cause
was
of
God,
that
the
Lord
might
perform
his
word,
which
he
spake
by
the
hand
of
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
to
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat.
16
And
when
all
Israel
saw
that
the
king
would
not
hearken
unto
them,
the
people
answered
the
king,
saying,
What
portion
have
we
in
David?
and
we
have
none
inheritance
in
the
son
of
Jesse:
every
man
to
your
tents,
O
Israel:
and
now,
David,
see
to
thine
own
house.
So
all
Israel
went
to
their
tents.
17
But
as
for
the
children
of
Israel
that
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
Rehoboam
reigned
over
them.
18
Then
king
Rehoboam
sent
Hadoram
that
was
over
the
tribute;
and
the
children
of
Israel
stoned
him
with
stones,
that
he
died.
But
king
Rehoboam
made
speed
to
get
him
up
to
his
chariot,
to
flee
to
Jerusalem.
19
And
Israel
rebelled
against
the
house
of
David
unto
this
day.
