CKJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7346 And Rehoboam H3212 went H7927 to Shechem: H3478 for all Israel H935 were come H7927 to Shechem H4427 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 heard H1272 of it, (for he was fled H6440 from the presence H4428 of king H8010 Solomon, H3379 and Jeroboam H3427 lived H4714 in Egypt;)
  3 H7971 That they sent H7121 and called H3379 him. And Jeroboam H6951 and all the congregation H3478 of Israel H935 came, H1696 and spoke H7346 unto Rehoboam, H559 saying,
  4 H1 Your father H7185 made H5923 our yoke H7185 severe: H7186 now therefore make you the severe H5656 service H1 of your father, H3515 and his heavy H5923 yoke H5414 which he put H7043 upon us, lighter, H5647 and we will serve you.
  5 H559 And he said H3212 unto them, Depart H7969 yet for three H3117 days, H7725 then come again H5971 to me. And the people H3212 departed.
  6 H4428 And king H7346 Rehoboam H3289 consulted H2205 with the old men, H5975 that stood H6440 before H8010 Solomon H1 his father H2416 while he yet lived, H559 and said, H3289 How do you advise H7725 that I may H1697 answer H5971 this people?
  7 H1696 And they spoke H559 unto him, saying, H5650 If you will be a servant H5971 unto 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 for ever.
  8 H5800 But he forsook H6098 the counsel H2205 of the old men, H3289 which they had given H3289 him, and consulted H3206 with the young men H1431 that were grown up H5975 with him, and which stood H6440 before him:
  9 H559 And he said H3289 unto them, What counsel give H7725 you that we may H1697 answer H5971 this people, H1696 who have spoken H559 to me, saying, H7043 Make H5923 the yoke H1 which your father H5414 did put H7043 upon us lighter?
  10 H3206 And the young men H1431 that were grown up H1696 with him spoke H559 unto him, saying, H559 Thus shall you speak H5971 unto this people H1696 that spoke H559 unto you, saying, H1 Your father H3513 made H5923 our yoke H3513 heavy, H7043 but make you it lighter H1696 unto us; thus shall you say H6995 unto them, My little H5666 finger shall be thicker H1 than my father's H4975 body.
  11 H1 And now whereas my father H6006 did load H3515 you with a heavy H5923 yoke, H3254 I will add H5923 to your yoke: H1 my father H3256 has 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 had appointed, H559 saying, H7725 Come to me again H7992 the third H3117 day.
  13 H4428 And the king H6030 answered H5971 the people H7186 roughly, H5800 and forsook H2205 the old men's H6098 counsel H3289 that they gave him;
  14 H1696 And spoke H6098 to them after the counsel H3206 of the young men, H559 saying, H1 My father H3513 made H5923 your yoke H3513 heavy, H3254 and I will add H5923 to your yoke: H1 my father H3256 also chastised H7752 you with whips, H3256 but I will chastise H6137 you with scorpions.
  15 H4428 Why the king H8085 listened H5971 not unto the people; H5438 for the cause H3068 was from the Lord, H6965 that he might perform H1697 his saying, H3068 which the Lord H1696 spoke H3027 by H281 Ahijah H7888 the Shilonite H3379 unto Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat.
  16 H7725 So H3478 when all Israel H7200 saw H4428 that the king H8085 listened H5971 not unto them, the people H1697 answered H4428 the king, H559 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 now see H1004 to your own house, H1732 David. H3478 So Israel H3212 departed H168 unto their tents.
  17 H1121 But as for the sons H3478 of Israel H3427 which lived H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah, H7346 Rehoboam H4427 reigned over them.
  18 H4428 Then king H7346 Rehoboam H7971 sent H151 Adoram, H4522 who was over the tribute; H3478 and all Israel H7275 stoned H68 him with stones, H4191 that he died. H4428 Therefore king H7346 Rehoboam H553 made speed H5927 to get him up H4818 to his chariot, H5127 to flee H3389 to Jerusalem.
  19 H3478 So Israel H6586 rebelled H1004 against the house H1732 of David H3117 unto this day.
  20 H3478 And it came to pass, when all Israel H8085 heard H3379 that Jeroboam H7725 was come again, H7971 that they sent H7121 and called H5712 him unto the congregation, H4427 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 was come H3389 to Jerusalem, H6950 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 chosen men, H6213 which were warriors, H3898 to fight H1004 against the house H3478 of Israel, H7725 to bring H4410 the kingdom H7725 again H7346 to Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon.
  22 H1697 But the word H430 of God H8098 came unto Shemaiah H376 the man H430 of God, H559 saying,
  23 H559 Speak H7346 unto Rehoboam, H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H4428 king H3063 of Judah, H1004 and unto all the house H3063 of Judah H1144 and Benjamin, H3499 and to the remnant H5971 of the people, H559 saying,
  24 H559 Thus says H3068 the Lord, H5927 You shall not go up, H3898 nor fight H251 against your brothers H1121 the sons H3478 of Israel: H7725 return H376 every man H1004 to his house; H1697 for this thing H1961 is H8085 from me. They listened H1697 therefore to the word H3068 of the Lord, H7725 and returned H3212 to depart, H1697 according to the word H3068 of the Lord.
  25 H3379 Then Jeroboam H1129 built H7927 Shechem H2022 in mountain H669 Ephraim, H3427 and lived H3318 in it; and went out H1129 from there, and built H6439 Penuel.
  26 H3379 And Jeroboam H559 said H3820 in his heart, H4467 Now shall the kingdom H7725 return H1004 to the house H1732 of David:
  27 H5971 If this people H5927 go up H6213 to do H2077 sacrifice H1004 in the house H3068 of the Lord H3389 at Jerusalem, H3820 then shall the heart H5971 of this people H7725 turn again H113 unto their lord, H7346 even unto Rehoboam H4428 king H3063 of Judah, H2026 and they shall kill H7725 me, and go again H7346 to Rehoboam H4428 king H3063 of Judah.
  28 H4428 Whereupon the king H3289 took counsel, H6213 and made H8147 two H5695 calves H2091 of gold, H559 and said H7227 unto them, It is too much H5927 for you to go up H3389 to Jerusalem: H430 behold your gods, H3478 O Israel, H5927 which brought you up H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt.
  29 H7760 And he set H259 the one H1008 in Beth–el, H259 and the other H5414 put H1835 he in Dan.
  30 H1697 And this thing H2403 became a sin: H5971 for the people H3212 went H6440 to worship before H259 the one, H1835 even unto Dan.
  31 H6213 And he made H1004 a house H1116 of high places, H6213 and made H3548 priests H7098 of the lowest H5971 of the people, H1121 which were not of the sons H3878 of Levi.
  32 H3379 And Jeroboam H6213 ordained H2282 a feast H8066 in the eighth H2320 month, H2568 on the fifteenth H3117 day H2320 of the month, H2282 like unto the feast H3063 that is in Judah, H5927 and he offered H4196 upon the altar. H6213 So did H1008 he in Beth–el, H2076 sacrificing H5695 unto the calves H6213 that he had made: H5975 and he placed H1008 in Beth–el H3548 the priests H1116 of the high places H6213 which he had made.
  33 H5927 So he offered H4196 upon the altar H6213 which he had made H1008 in Beth–el H2568 the fifteenth H3117 day H8066 of the eighth H2320 month, H2320 even in the month H908 which he had devised H3820 of his own heart; H6213 and ordained H2282 a feast H1121 unto the sons H3478 of Israel: H5927 and he offered H4196 upon the altar, H6999 and burnt incense.
