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 when he was goneH3212, a lionH738 metH4672 him by the wayH1870, and slewH4191 him: and his carcaseH5038 was castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the assH2543 stoodH5975 byH681 it, the lionH738 also stoodH5975 by the carcaseH5038.
AfterH310 this thingH1697 JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 not from his evilH7451 wayH1870, but madeH6213 againH7725 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971 priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116: whosoever wouldH2655, he consecratedH4390+H3027 him, and he became one of the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116. {made…: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated…: Heb. filled his hand}
For the sayingH1697 which he criedH7121 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, and against all the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which are in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, shall surely come to pass.
And thou shalt appointH6485 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121, and they shall wait onH8104 their priest's officeH3550: and the strangerH2114 that cometh nighH7131 shall be put to deathH4191.
At his dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 him his hireH7939, neither shall the sunH8121 go downH935 upon it; for he is poorH6041, and settethH5375 his heartH5315 upon it: lest he cryH7121 against thee unto the LORDH3068, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {setteth…: Heb. lifteth his soul unto it}
So they fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and madeH6213 unto themselves of the lowestH7098 of them priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116, which sacrificedH6213 for them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116.
Thou hast builtH1129 thy high placeH7413 at every headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast made thy beautyH3308 to be abhorredH8581, and hast openedH6589 thy feetH7272 to every one that passed byH5674, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457.
For the LevitesH3881 leftH5800 their suburbsH4054 and their possessionH272, and cameH3212 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: for JeroboamH3379 and his sonsH1121 had cast them offH2186 from executing the priest's officeH3547 unto the LORDH3068:
Is there iniquityH205 in GileadH1568? surely they are vanityH7723: they sacrificeH2076 bullocksH7794 in GilgalH1537; yea, their altarsH4196 are as heapsH1530 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldsH7704.
And he ordainedH5975 him priestsH3548 for the high placesH1116, and for the devilsH8163, and for the calvesH5695 which he had madeH6213.
Have ye not cast outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213 you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935 to consecrateH4390+H3027 himself with a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430. {to consecrate…: Heb. to fill his hand}
And thou shalt sayH559 to the rebelliousH4805, even to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, let it sufficeH7227 you of all your abominationsH8441,
In that ye have broughtH935 into my sanctuary strangersH1121+H5236, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in my sanctuaryH4720, to polluteH2490 it, even my houseH1004, when ye offerH7126 my breadH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, and they have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 becauseH413 of all your abominationsH8441. {strangers: Heb. children of a stranger}
And ye have not keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of mine holy thingsH6944: but ye have setH7760 keepersH8104 of my chargeH4931 in my sanctuaryH4720 for yourselves. {my charge: or, my ward, or, ordinance}
