Webster_Strongs(i)
  1 H7346 And Rehoboam H3212 [H8799] went H7927 to Shechem H3478 : for all Israel H935 [H8804] had come H7927 to Shechem H4427 [H8687] to make him king.
  2 H3379 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H4714 , who was yet in Egypt H8085 [H8800] , heard H1272 [H8804] of it, (for he had fled H6440 from the presence H4428 of king H8010 Solomon H3379 , and Jeroboam H3427 [H8799] dwelt H4714 in Egypt;)
  3 H7971 [H8799] That they sent H7121 [H8799] and called H3379 him. And Jeroboam H6951 and all the congregation H3478 of Israel H935 [H8799] came H1696 [H8762] , and spoke H7346 to Rehoboam H559 [H8800] , saying,
  4 H1 Thy father H7185 0 made H5923 our yoke H7185 [H8689] grievous H7186 : now therefore make thou the grievous H5656 service H1 of thy father H3515 , and his heavy H5923 yoke H5414 [H8804] which he put H7043 [H8685] upon us, lighter H5647 [H8799] , and we will serve thee.
  5 H559 [H8799] And he said H3212 [H8798] to them, Depart H7969 yet for three H3117 days H7725 [H8798] , then come again H5971 to me. And the people H3212 [H8799] departed.
  6 H4428 And king H7346 Rehoboam H3289 [H8735] consulted H2205 with the old men H5975 [H8802] , that stood H6440 before H8010 Solomon H1 his father H2416 while he yet lived H559 [H8800] , and said H3289 [H8737] , How do ye advise H7725 [H8687] that I may H1697 answer H5971 this people?
  7 H1696 [H8762] And they spoke H559 [H8800] to him, saying H5650 , If thou wilt be a servant H5971 to this people H3117 this day H5647 [H8804] , and wilt serve H6030 [H8804] them, and answer H1696 [H8765] them, and speak H2896 good H1697 words H5650 to them, then they will be thy servants H3117 for ever.
  8 H5800 [H8799] But he forsook H6098 the counsel H2205 of the old men H3289 [H8804] , which they had given H3289 [H8735] him, and consulted H3206 with the young men H1431 [H8804] that had grown up H5975 [H8802] with him, and who stood H6440 before him:
  9 H559 [H8799] And he said H3289 [H8737] to them, What counsel give H7725 [H8686] ye that we may H1697 answer H5971 this people H1696 [H8765] , who have spoken H559 [H8800] to me, saying H7043 0 , Make H5923 the yoke H1 which thy father H5414 [H8804] did put H7043 [H8685] upon us lighter?
  10 H3206 And the young men H1431 [H8804] that had grown up H1696 [H8762] with him spoke H559 [H8800] to him, saying H559 [H8799] , Thus shalt thou speak H5971 to this people H1696 [H8765] who spoke H559 [H8800] to thee, saying H1 , Thy father H3513 0 made H5923 our yoke H3513 [H8689] heavy H7043 [H8685] , but make thou it lighter H1696 [H8762] to us; thus shalt thou say H6995 to them, My little H5666 [H8804] finger shall be thicker H1 than my father's H4975 loins.
  11 H1 And now though my father H6006 [H8689] burdened H3515 you with a heavy H5923 yoke H3254 [H8686] , I will add H5923 to your yoke H1 : my father H3256 [H8765] hath chastised H7752 you with whips H3256 [H8762] , but I will chastise H6137 you with scorpions.
  12 H3379 So Jeroboam H5971 and all the people H935 [H8799] came H7346 to Rehoboam H7992 the third H3117 day H4428 , as the king H1696 [H8765] had appointed H559 [H8800] , saying H7725 [H8798] , Come to me again H7992 the third H3117 day.
  13 H4428 And the king H6030 [H8799] answered H5971 the people H7186 roughly H5800 [H8799] , and forsook H2205 the old men's H6098 counsel H3289 [H8804] that they gave him;
  14 H1696 [H8762] And spoke H6098 to them after the counsel H3206 of the young men H559 [H8800] , saying H1 , My father H3513 0 made H5923 your yoke H3513 [H8689] heavy H3254 [H8686] , and I will add H5923 to your yoke H1 : my father H3256 [H8765] also chastised H7752 you with whips H3256 [H8762] , but I will chastise H6137 you with scorpions.
  15 H4428 Therefore the king H8085 [H8804] hearkened H5971 not to the people H5438 ; for the cause H3068 was from the LORD H6965 [H8687] , that he might perform H1697 his saying H3068 , which the LORD H1696 [H8765] spoke H3027 by H281 Ahijah H7888 the Shilonite H3379 to Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat.
  16 H7725 [H8686] So H3478 when all Israel H7200 [H8799] saw H4428 that the king H8085 [H8804] hearkened H5971 not to them, the people H1697 answered H4428 the king H559 [H8800] , saying H2506 , What portion H1732 have we in David H5159 ? neither have we inheritance H1121 in the son H3448 of Jesse H168 : to your tents H3478 , O Israel H7200 [H8798] : now see H1004 to thy own house H1732 , David H3478 . So Israel H3212 [H8799] departed H168 to their tents.
  17 H1121 But as for the children H3478 of Israel H3427 [H8802] who dwelt H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah H7346 , Rehoboam H4427 [H8799] reigned over them.
  18 H4428 Then king H7346 Rehoboam H7971 [H8799] sent H151 Adoram H4522 , who was over the forced labour H3478 ; and all Israel H7275 [H8799] stoned H68 him with stones H4191 [H8799] , that he died H4428 . Therefore king H7346 Rehoboam H553 [H8694] made speed H5927 [H8800] to enter H4818 his chariot H5127 [H8800] , to flee H3389 to Jerusalem.
  19 H3478 So Israel H6586 [H8799] rebelled H1004 against the house H1732 of David H3117 to this day.
  20 H3478 And it came to pass, when all Israel H8085 [H8800] heard H3379 that Jeroboam H7725 [H8804] had come again H7971 [H8799] , that they sent H7121 [H8799] and called H5712 him to the congregation H4427 [H8686] , and made him king H3478 over all Israel H310 : there was none that followed H1004 the house H1732 of David H2108 , but H7626 the tribe H3063 of Judah only.
  21 H7346 And when Rehoboam H935 [H8799] had come H3389 to Jerusalem H6950 [H8686] , he assembled H1004 all the house H3063 of Judah H7626 , with the tribe H1144 of Benjamin H3967 , an hundred H8084 and eighty H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen men H6213 H4421 [H8802] , who were warriors H3898 [H8736] , to fight H1004 against the house H3478 of Israel H7725 0 , to bring H4410 the kingdom H7725 [H8687] again H7346 to Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon.
  22 H1697 But the word H430 of God H8098 came to Shemaiah H376 the man H430 of God H559 [H8800] , saying,
  23 H559 [H8798] Speak H7346 to Rehoboam H1121 , the son H8010 of Solomon H4428 , king H3063 of Judah H1004 , and to all the house H3063 of Judah H1144 and Benjamin H3499 , and to the remnant H5971 of the people H559 [H8800] , saying,
  24 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H5927 [H8799] , Ye shall not go up H3898 [H8735] , nor fight H251 against your brethren H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H7725 [H8798] : return H376 every man H1004 to his house H1697 ; for this thing H1961 [H8738] is H8085 [H8799] from me. They hearkened H1697 therefore to the word H3068 of the LORD H7725 [H8799] , and returned H3212 [H8800] to depart H1697 , according to the word H3068 of the LORD.
  25 H3379 Then Jeroboam H1129 [H8799] built H7927 Shechem H2022 in mount H669 Ephraim H3427 [H8799] , and dwelt H3318 [H8799] in it; and went out H1129 [H8799] from there, and built H6439 Penuel.
  26 H3379 And Jeroboam H559 [H8799] said H3820 in his heart H4467 , Now shall the kingdom H7725 [H8799] return H1004 to the house H1732 of David:
  27 H5971 If this people H5927 [H8799] go up H6213 [H8800] to offer H2077 sacrifice H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD H3389 at Jerusalem H3820 , then shall the heart H5971 of this people H7725 [H8804] turn again H113 to their lord H7346 , even to Rehoboam H4428 king H3063 of Judah H2026 [H8804] , and they shall kill H7725 [H8804] me, and return H7346 to Rehoboam H4428 king H3063 of Judah.
  28 H4428 Upon which the king H3289 [H8735] took counsel H6213 [H8799] , and made H8147 two H5695 calves H2091 of gold H559 [H8799] , and said H7227 to them, It is too much H5927 [H8800] for you to go up H3389 to Jerusalem H430 : behold thy gods H3478 , O Israel H5927 [H8689] , which brought thee H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt.
  29 H7760 [H8799] And he set H259 the one H1008 in Bethel H259 , and the other H5414 [H8804] he placed H1835 in Dan.
  30 H1697 And this thing H2403 became a sin H5971 : for the people H3212 [H8799] went H6440 to worship before H259 the one H1835 , even to Dan.
  31 H6213 [H8799] And he made H1004 an house H1116 of high places H6213 [H8799] , and made H3548 priests H7098 of the lowest H5971 of the people H1121 , who were not of the sons H3878 of Levi.
  32 H3379 And Jeroboam H6213 [H8799] ordained H2282 a feast H8066 in the eighth H2320 month H2568 H6240 , on the fifteenth H3117 day H2320 of the month H2282 , like the feast H3063 that is in Judah H5927 [H8686] , and he offered H4196 upon the altar H6213 [H8804] . So did H1008 he in Bethel H2076 [H8763] , sacrificing H5695 to the calves H6213 [H8804] that he had made H5975 [H8689] : and he placed H1008 in Bethel H3548 the priests H1116 of the high places H6213 [H8804] which he had made.
  33 H5927 [H8686] So he offered H4196 upon the altar H6213 [H8804] which he had made H1008 in Bethel H2568 H6240 the fifteenth H3117 day H8066 of the eighth H2320 month H2320 , even in the month H908 [H8804] which he had devised H3820 of his own heart H6213 [H8799] ; and ordained H2282 a feast H1121 to the children H3478 of Israel H5927 [H8686] : and he offered H4196 upon the altar H6999 [H8687] , and burnt incense.
