And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for all IsraelH3478 were comeH935 to ShechemH7927 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who was yet in EgyptH4714, heardH8085 of it, (for he was fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and JeroboamH3379 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714;)
That they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. And JeroboamH3379 and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and spakeH1696 unto RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,
Thy fatherH1 madeH7185 our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore make thou the grievousH7186 serviceH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 which he putH5414 upon us, lighterH7043, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And he saidH559 unto them, DepartH3212 yet for threeH7969 daysH3117, then come againH7725 to me. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 consultedH3289 with the old menH2205, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, and saidH559, How do ye adviseH3289 that I mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971?
And they spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, If thou wilt be a servantH5650 unto this peopleH5971 this dayH3117, and wilt serveH5647 them, and answerH6030 them, and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, then they will be thy servantsH5650 for everH3117.
But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205, which they had givenH3289 him, and consultedH3289 with the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him, and which stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him:
And he saidH559 unto them, What counsel giveH3289 ye that we mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, MakeH7043 the yokeH5923 which thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us lighterH7043?
And the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou speakH559 unto this peopleH5971 that spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it lighterH7043 unto us; thus shalt thou sayH1696 unto them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father'sH1 loinsH4975.
And now whereas my fatherH1 did ladeH6006 you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 hath chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 had appointedH1696, sayingH559, Come to me againH7725 the thirdH7992 dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 roughlyH7186, and forsookH5800 the old men'sH2205 counselH6098 that they gaveH3289 him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}
And spakeH1696 to them after the counselH6098 of the young menH3206, sayingH559, My fatherH1 madeH3513 your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, and I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 also chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
Wherefore the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto the peopleH5971; for the causeH5438 was from the LORDH3068, that he might performH6965 his sayingH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 unto JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.
But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 which dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.
Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the tributeH4522; and all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. Therefore kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 made speedH553 to get him upH5927 to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. {made…: Heb. strengthened himself}
So IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 unto this dayH3117. {rebelled: or, fell away}
And it came to pass, when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 was come againH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: there was none that followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, butH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH977, which were warriorsH6213+H4421, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7725 the kingdomH4410 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.
But the wordH1697 of GodH430 came unto ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004; for this thingH1697 isH1961 from me. They hearkenedH8085 therefore to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 to departH3212, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Then JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and dweltH3427 therein; and went outH3318 from thence, and builtH1129 PenuelH6439.
And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, Now shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732:
If this peopleH5971 go upH5927 to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then shall the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 turn againH7725 unto their lordH113, even unto RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and they shall killH2026 me, and go againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
Whereupon the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091, and saidH559 unto them, It is too muchH7227 for you to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And he setH7760 the oneH259 in BethelH1008, and the otherH259 putH5414 he in DanH1835.
And this thingH1697 became a sinH2403: for the peopleH5971 wentH3212 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259, even unto DanH1835.
And he madeH6213 an houseH1004 of high placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971, which were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And JeroboamH3379 ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like unto the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}
So he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 which he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 which he had devisedH908 of his own heartH3820; and ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, and burnt incenseH6999. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt…: Heb. to burn incense}

And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.
And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the hillsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have not a shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113: let them returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
Neither shewedH6213 they kindnessH2617 to the houseH1004 of JerubbaalH3378, namely, GideonH1439, according to all the goodnessH2896 which he had shewedH6213 unto IsraelH3478.
And when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 would not hearkenH8085 unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH7725 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? and we have none inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: every manH376 to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: and now, DavidH1732, seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004. So all IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to their tentsH168.
And there wentH5674 a proclamationH7440 throughout the hostH4264 about the going downH935 of the sunH8121, sayingH559, Every manH376 to his cityH5892, and every manH376 to his own countryH776.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
And there cameH935 a messengerH5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are afterH310 AbsalomH53.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, and to all his servantsH5650, Behold, my sonH1121, which came forthH3318 of my bowelsH4578, seekethH1245 my lifeH5315: how much more now may this BenjamiteH1145 do it? let him aloneH3240, and let him curseH7043; for the LORDH3068 hath biddenH559 him.
But my mercyH2617 shall not depart awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 beforeH6440 thee.
And thine houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769.
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
Surely the wrathH2534 of manH120 shall praiseH3034 thee: the remainderH7611 of wrathH2534 shalt thou restrainH2296.
His seedH2233 also will I makeH7760 to endure for everH5703, and his throneH3678 as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.
If his childrenH1121 forsakeH5800 my lawH8451, and walkH3212 not in my judgmentsH4941;
If they breakH2490 my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 not my commandmentsH4687; {break: Heb. profane}
Then will I visitH6485 their transgressionH6588 with the rodH7626, and their iniquityH5771 with stripesH5061.
Nevertheless my lovingkindnessH2617 will I not utterly takeH6331 from him, nor suffer my faithfulnessH530 to failH8266. {will…: Heb. I will not make void from him} {to fall: Heb. to lie}
My covenantH1285 will I not breakH2490, nor alterH8138 the thing that is gone outH4161 of my lipsH8193.
OnceH259 have I swornH7650 by my holinessH6944 that I will not lieH3576 unto DavidH1732. {that…: Heb. if I lie}
His seedH2233 shall endure for everH5769, and his throneH3678 as the sunH8121 before me.
It shall be establishedH3559 for everH5769 as the moonH3394, and as a faithfulH539 witnessH5707 in heavenH7834. SelahH5542.
There will I makeH6779 the hornH7161 of DavidH1732 to budH6779: I have ordainedH6186 a lampH5216 for mine anointedH4899. {lamp: or, candle}
And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307. {is confederate…: Heb. resteth on}
Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and vexH6973 it, and let us make a breachH1234 therein for us, and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870: {vex: or, waken}
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
Then may also my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servantH5650, that he should not have a sonH1121 to reignH4427 upon his throneH3678; and with the LevitesH3881 the priestsH3548, my ministersH8334.
