2 Chronicles 10:1-12

And Rehoboam
<07346>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Shechem
<07927>_:

for to Shechem
<07927>

were all Israel
<03478>

come
<0935> (8804)

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.

And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who [was] in Egypt
<04714>_,

whither he had fled
<01272> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of Solomon
<08010>

the king
<04428>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

[it], that Jeroboam
<03379>

returned
<07725> (8799)

out of Egypt
<04714>_.

And they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him. So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)

and spake
<01696> (8762)

to Rehoboam
<07346>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made our yoke
<05923>

grievous
<07185> (8689)_:

now therefore ease
<07043> (8685)

thou somewhat the grievous
<07186>

servitude
<05656>

of thy father
<01>_,

and his heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

that he put
<05414> (8804)

upon us, and we will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Come again
<07725> (8798)

unto me after three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

And the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

And king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

took counsel
<03289> (8735)

with the old
<02205>

men that had stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

Solomon
<08010>

his father
<01>

while he yet lived
<02416>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What
<0349>

counsel give
<03289> (8737)

ye [me] to return
<07725> (8687)

answer
<01697>

to this people
<05971>_?

And they spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If thou be kind
<02896>

to this people
<05971>_,

and please
<07521> (8804)

them, and speak
<01696> (8765)

good
<02896>

words
<01697>

to them, they will be thy servants
<05650>

for ever
<03117>_.

But he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the counsel
<06098>

which the old men
<02205>

gave
<03289> (8804)

him, and took counsel
<03289> (8735)

with the young men
<03206>

that were brought up
<01431> (8804)

with him, that stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

him.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What advice
<03289> (8737)

give ye that we may return
<07725> (8686)

answer
<01697>

to this people
<05971>_,

which have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ease
<07043> (8685)

somewhat the yoke
<05923>

that thy father
<01>

did put
<05414> (8804)

upon us?

And the young men
<03206>

that were brought up
<01431> (8804)

with him spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shalt thou answer
<0559> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

but make thou [it] somewhat lighter
<07043> (8685)

for us; thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto them, My little
<06995>

[finger] shall be thicker
<05666> (8804)

than my father's
<01>

loins
<04975>_.

For whereas
<06258>

my father
<01>

put
<06006> (8689)

a heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

upon you, I will put more
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I [will chastise you] with scorpions
<06137>_.

{my father put: Heb. my father laded}

So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

as the king
<04428>

bade
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come again
<07725> (8798)

to me on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_.
