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}

Go not upH5927, for the LORDH3068 is not amongH7130 you; that ye be not smittenH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
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.
Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914 them, to wit, the armyH1416 that was comeH935 to him out of EphraimH669, to goH3212 homeH4725 againH3212: wherefore their angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639. {home again: Heb. to their place} {in great…: Heb. in heat of anger}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004: for this thingH1697 is doneH1961 of me. And they obeyedH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 from goingH3212 against JeroboamH3379.
And it came to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had cladH3680 himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were alone in the fieldH7704:
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH7168:
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
Because that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the MoabitesH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
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:
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
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 I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
So the armed menH2502 leftH5800 the captivesH7633 and the spoilH961 beforeH6440 the princesH8269 and all the congregationH6951.
And the menH582 which were expressedH5344 by nameH8034 rose upH6965, and tookH2388 the captivesH7633, and with the spoilH7998 clothedH3847 all that were nakedH4636 among them, and arrayedH3847 them, and shodH5274 them, and gave them to eatH398 and to drinkH8248, and anointedH5480 them, and carriedH5095 all the feebleH3782 of them upon assesH2543, and broughtH935 them to JerichoH3405, the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558+H5899, toH681 their brethrenH251: then they returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.
They have set up kingsH4427, but not by me: they have made princesH7786, and I knewH3045 it not: of their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 have they madeH6213 them idolsH6091, that they may be cut offH3772.
But if thou wilt goH935, doH6213 it, be strongH2388 for the battleH4421: GodH430 shall make thee fallH3782 beforeH6440 the enemyH341: for GodH430 hathH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826, and to cast downH3782.
But a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 was there, whose nameH8034 was OdedH5752: and he went outH3318 beforeH6440 the hostH6635 that cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and saidH559 unto them, Behold, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 was wrothH2534 with JudahH3063, he hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027, and ye have slainH2026 them in a rageH2197 that reacheth upH5060 unto heavenH8064.
And now ye purposeH559 to keep underH3533 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198 unto you: but are there not with you, evenH7535 with you, sinsH819 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
Now hearH8085 me therefore, and deliverH7725 the captivesH7633 again, which ye have taken captiveH7617 of your brethrenH251: for the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 is upon you.
Then certainH582 of the headsH7218 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JohananH3076, BerechiahH1296 the sonH1121 of MeshillemothH4919, and JehizkiahH3169 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of HadlaiH2311, stood upH6965 against them that cameH935 from the warH6635,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
