H4428
King
H7346
Rehoboam
H3289
took counsel
H2205
with the old men,
H5975
who had stood
H6440
before
H8010
Solomon
H1
his father
H2416
while he yet lived,
H559
saying,
H3289
"What counsel
H7725
do you give me to return
H1697
answer
H5971
to this people?"
7
H1696
They spoke
H559
to him, saying,
H5650
"If you will be a servant
H5971
to this people
H3117
this day,
H5647
and will serve
H6030
them, and answer
H1696
them, and speak
H2896
good
H1697
words
H5650
to them, then they will be your servants
H3117
forever."
8
H5800
But he forsook
H6098
the counsel
H2205
of the old men
H3289
which they had given
H3289
him, and took counsel
H3206
with the young men
H1431
who had grown up
H5975
with him, who stood
H6440
before him.
9
H559
He said
H3289
to them, "What counsel do you give,
H7725
that we may
H1697
return answer
H5971
to this people,
H1696
who have spoken
H559
to me, saying,
H7043
‘Make
H5923
the yoke
H1
that your father
H5414
put
H7043
on us lighter?'"
10
H3206
The young men
H1431
who had grown up
H1696
with him spoke
H559
to him, saying,
H559
"Thus you shall tell
H5971
this people
H559
who spoke
H559
to you, saying,
H1
‘Your father
H3513
made
H5923
our yoke
H3513
heavy,
H7043
but make it lighter
H1696
to us;' you shall say
H6995
to them, ‘My little
H5666
finger is thicker
H1
than my father's
H4975
waist.
11
H1
Now whereas my father
H6006
burdened
H3515
you with a heavy
H5923
yoke,
H3254
I will add
H5923
to your yoke:
H1
my father
H3256
chastised
H7752
you with whips,
H3256
but I will chastise
H6137
you with scorpions.'"
12
H3379
So Jeroboam
H5971
and all the people
H935
came
H7346
to Rehoboam
H7992
the third
H3117
day,
H4428
as the king
H1696
asked,
H559
saying,
H7725
"Come to me again
H7992
the third
H3117
day."
13
H4428
The king
H6030
answered
H5971
the people
H7186
roughly,
H5800
and forsook
H6098
the counsel
H2205
of the old men
H3289
which they had given him,
14
H1696
and spoke
H6098
to them according to the counsel
H3206
of the young men,
H559
saying,
H1
"My father
H3513
made
H5923
your yoke
H3513
heavy,
H3254
but I will add
H5923
to your yoke.
H1
My father
H3256
chastised
H7752
you with whips,
H3256
but I will chastise
H6137
you with scorpions."
15
H4428
So the king
H8085
didn't listen
H5971
to the people;
H5438
for it was
H3068
a thing brought about of Yahweh,
H6965
that he might establish
H1697
his word,
H3068
which Yahweh
H1696
spoke
H3027
by
H281
Ahijah
H7888
the Shilonite
H3379
to Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H5028
of Nebat.
16
H7725
When
H3478
all Israel
H7200
saw
H4428
that the king
H8085
didn't listen
H5971
to them, the people
H1697
answered
H4428
the king,
H559
saying,
H2506
"What portion
H1732
have we in David?
H5159
Neither do we have an inheritance
H1121
in the son
H3448
of Jesse.
H168
To your tents,
H3478
Israel!
H7200
Now see
H1004
to your own house,
H1732
David."
H3478
So Israel
H3212
departed
H168
to their tents.
17
H1121
But as for the children
H3478
of Israel
H3427
who lived
H5892
in the cities
H3063
of Judah,
H7346
Rehoboam
H4427
reigned over them.
