1
And Rehoboam
went
to Shechem
:
for all
Israel
were come
to Shechem
to make him king
.
2
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
,
who
was yet
in
Egypt
,
heard
of it
, (for he was fled
from the presence
of king
Solomon
, and Jeroboam
dwelt
in
Egypt
;)
3
That they sent
and called
him. And Jeroboam
and all
the congregation
of Israel
came,
and spake
unto Rehoboam
,
saying
,
4
Thy father
made
our
yoke
grievous
:
now
therefore make thou the
grievous
service
of thy father
,
and his heavy
yoke
which
he put
upon us, lighter,
and we will serve
thee.
5
And he said
unto them,
Depart
yet
for
three
days
,
then come again
to me. And the people
departed
.
6
And king
Rehoboam
consulted
with the old men
,
that stood
before
Solomon
his father
while he yet lived
,
and said
,
How
do ye advise
that I may
answer
this
people?
7
And they spake
unto him, saying,
If
thou wilt be a servant
un
to this
people
this day
,
and wilt serve
them, and answer them, and speak
good
words
to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
8
But he forsook
the counsel
of the old men
,
which
they had given
him, and consulted
with the young men
that were grown up
with him,
and
which
stood before him:
9
And he said
unto them,
What
counsel give
ye that we may
answer
this
people
,
who
have spoken
to me, saying, Make
the yoke
which
thy father
did put
upon us lighter
?
10
And the young men
that were grown up
with him spake
unto him, saying,
Thus
shalt thou speak
un
to this
people
that spake
unto thee, saying,
Thy father
made
our yoke
heavy
,
but make thou
it
lighter
unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little
finger
shall be thicker
than my father's
loins
.
11
And now whereas
my father
did lade
you with a heavy
yoke
,
I will add
to your
yoke
:
my father
hath chastised
you with whips
,
but I will chastise
you with scorpions
.
12
So Jeroboam
and all
the people
came
to Rehoboam
the third
day
,
as the king
had appointed
,
saying
,
Come to me again
the third
day
.
13
And the king
answered
the people
roughly
,
and forsook
the old men's
counsel
that they gave
him;
14
And spake
to them after the counsel
of the young men
,
saying
,
My father
made
your yoke
heavy
,
and I will add
to
your yoke
:
my father
also
chastised
you with whips
,
but I will chastise
you with scorpions
.
15
Wherefore the king
hearkened
not unto the people
;
for the cause
was from the LORD
,
that he might perform
his saying
,
which
the LORD
spake
by
Ahijah
the Shilonite
unto Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
.
16
So
when
all
Israel
saw
that
the king
hearkened
not unto them, the people answered
the king
,
saying
,
What
portion
have we in
David
? neither
have we
inheritance
in the son
of Jesse
:
to your tents
,
O Israel
: now see
to thine own house
,
David
.
So
Israel
departed
unto their tents
.
17
But
as for
the children
of Israel
which dwelt
in the cities
of Judah
,
Rehoboam
reigned
over
them.
18
Then king
Rehoboam
sent
Adoram
,
who
was
over the tribute
;
and all
Israel
stoned
him with stones,
that he died
.
Therefore king
Rehoboam
made speed
to get him up
to his chariot
,
to flee
to Jerusalem
.
19
So Israel
rebelled
against the house
of David
un
to this
day
.
20
And it
came
to pass, when
all
Israel
heard
that Jeroboam
was come again
,
that they sent
and called
him unto the congregation
,
and made him king
over
all
Israel
:
there was none that followed
the house
of David
, but
the tribe
of Judah
only.
21
And when Rehoboam
was come
to Jerusalem
,
he assembled
all the house
of Judah
,
with the tribe
of Benjamin
,
an hundred
and fourscore thousand chosen men, which
were warriors
,
to fight
against
the house
of Israel
, to bring
the kingdom
again
to Rehoboam
the son
of Solomon
.
22
But the word
of God
came
unto Shemaiah
the man
of God
,
saying
,
23
Speak
unto Rehoboam
,
the son
of Solomon
,
king
of Judah
,
and unto
all
the house
of Judah
and Benjamin
,
and to the remnant
of the people
,
saying
,
24
Thus
saith
the LORD,
Ye shall not go up
,
nor fight
against
your brethren
the children
of Israel
:
return
every man
to h
is
house
;
for
th
is
thing
is
from me. They hearkened
there
for
e to the word
of the LORD,
and
return
ed
to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
25
Then Jeroboam
built
Shechem
in mount
Ephraim
,
and dwelt
therein; and went out from thence, and
built
Penuel
.
26
And Jeroboam
said
in his heart
,
Now
shall the kingdom
return
to the house
of David
:
27
If
this
people
go up
to do
sacrifice
in the house
of the LORD
at Jerusalem
,
then shall the heart
of
this
people
turn again
unto their lord
,
even
unto Rehoboam
king
of Judah
,
and they shall kill
me, and go again
to Rehoboam
king
of Judah
.
28
Whereupon the king
took counsel
,
and made
two
calves
of
gold
,
and said
unto them, It is too much
for you to go up
to Jerusalem
:
behold
thy gods
,
O Israel
,
which brought thee up
out of the land
of Egypt
.
29
And he set
the one
in Bethel
,
and the other
put
he in Dan
.
30
And this thing
became
a sin
:
for the people
went
to worship
before
the one
,
even
unto Dan
.
31
And he made
an house
of high places
,
and made
priests
of the lowest
of the people
,
which were not of the sons
of Levi
.
32
And Jeroboam
ordained
a feast
in the eighth
month
, on the fifteenth
day
of the
month
,
like unto the feast
that
is
in Judah
,
and he offered
upon the altar
.
So did
he
in Bethel
,
sacrificing
unto the calves
that he had made
:
and he placed
in Bethel
the priests
of the high places
which
he had made
.
33
So he offered
upon the altar
which
he had made
in Bethel
the fifteenth
day
of the eighth
month
,
even
in the
month
which
he had devised
of his own heart;
and ordained
a feast
unto the children
of Israel
:
and he offered
upon the altar
,
and burnt incense
.
