Return to your homes <0168>, O Israel <03478>!

King <04428> Rehoboam <07346> managed <0553> to jump into <05927> his chariot <04818> and escape <05127> to Jerusalem <03389>. 10:19 So Israel <03478> has been in rebellion <06586> against the Davidic <01732> dynasty <01004> to <05704> this <02088> very day <03117>.
