Chapter 10
And
Rehoboam
went
to
Shechem:
for
to
Shechem
were
all
Israel
come
to
make
him
king.
2
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat
(who
was
in
Egypt,
whither
hee
had
fled
from
the
presence
of
Solomon
the
king)
heard
it,
that
Ieroboam
returned
out
of
Egypt.
3
And
they
sent
and
called
him.
So
Ieroboam
and
all
Israel
came,
and
spake
to
Rehoboam,
saying,
4
Thy
father
made
our
yoke
grieuous,
nowe
therefore
ease
thou
somewhat
the
grieuous
seruitude
of
thy
father,
and
his
heauy
yoke
that
he
put
vpon
vs,
and
we
will
serue
thee.
5
And
hee
said
vnto
them,
Come
againe
vnto
me
after
three
dayes.
And
the
people
departed.
6
And
king
Rehoboam
tooke
counsel
with
the
old
men
that
had
stood
before
Solomon
his
father,
while
hee
yet
liued,
saying,
What
counsell
giue
ye
me,
to
returne
answere
to
this
people?
7
And
they
spake
vnto
him,
saying,
If
thou
bee
kinde
to
this
people,
and
please
them,
and
speake
good
words
to
them,
they
will
be
thy
seruants
for
euer.
8
But
he
forsooke
the
counsel
which
the
old
men
gaue
him,
and
tooke
counsell
with
the
yong
men,
that
were
brought
vp
with
him,
that
stood
before
him.
9
And
he
said
vnto
them,
What
aduice
giue
ye,
that
wee
may
returne
answere
to
this
people,
which
haue
spoken
to
me,
saying,
Ease
somewhat
the
yoke
that
thy
father
did
put
vpon
vs?
10
And
the
yong
men
that
were
brought
vp
with
him,
spake
vnto
him,
saying,
Thus
shalt
thou
answere
the
people
that
spake
vnto
thee,
saying,
Thy
father
made
our
yoke
heauy,
but
make
thou
it
somewhat
lighter
for
vs:
thus
shalt
thou
say
vnto
them,
My
litle
finger
shall
be
thicker
then
my
fathers
loynes.
11
For
where
as
my
father
put
a
heauy
yoke
vpon
you,
I
will
put
more
to
your
yoke:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I
will
chastise
you
with
scorpions.
12
So
Ieroboam
and
all
the
people
came
to
Rehoboam
on
the
third
day,
as
the
King
bade,
saying,
Come
againe
to
me
on
the
third
day.
13
And
the
king
answered
them
roughly,
and
king
Rehoboam
forsooke
the
counsell
of
the
old
men,
14
And
answered
them
after
the
aduice
of
the
yong
men,
saying,
My
father
made
your
yoke
heauy,
but
I
will
adde
thereto:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I
will
chastise
you
with
scorpions.
15
So
the
king
hearkened
not
vnto
the
people,
for
the
cause
was
of
God,
that
the
Lord
might
performe
his
word,
which
he
spake
by
the
hand
of
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
to
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat.
16
And
when
all
Israel
sawe
that
the
king
would
not
hearken
vnto
them,
the
people
answered
the
king
saying,
What
portion
haue
wee
in
Dauid?
and
wee
haue
none
inheritance
in
the
sonne
of
Iesse:
Euery
man
to
your
tents,
O
Israel:
and
now
Dauid,
see
to
thine
owne
house.
So
all
Israel
went
to
their
tents.
17
But
as
for
the
children
of
Israel
that
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Iudah,
Rehoboam
reigned
ouer
them.
18
Then
king
Rehoboam
sent
Hadoram
that
was
ouer
the
tribute,
and
the
children
of
Israel
stoned
him
with
stones,
that
he
died:
but
king
Rehoboam
made
speed
to
get
him
vp
to
his
charet,
to
flee
to
Ierusalem.
19
And
Israel
rebelled
against
the
house
of
Dauid
vnto
this
day.
