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.
