And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for to ShechemH7927 were all IsraelH3478 comeH935 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who was in EgyptH4714, whither he had fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010 the kingH4428, heardH8085 it, that JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 out of EgyptH4714.
And they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. So JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 cameH935 and spakeH1696 to RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,
Thy fatherH1 made our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore easeH7043 thou somewhat the grievousH7186 servitudeH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 that he putH5414 upon us, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And he saidH559 unto them, Come againH7725 unto me after threeH7969 daysH3117. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.
ButG1161 IG1473 have prayedG1189 forG4012 theeG4675, thatG3363 thyG4675 faithG4102 failG1587 notG3363: andG2532 whenG4218 thouG4771 art convertedG1994, strengthenG4741 thyG4675 brethrenG80.
Whereupon the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselves; and they saidH559, The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.
And when he humbledH3665 himself, the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from him, that he would not destroyH7843 him altogetherH3617: and also in JudahH3063 thingsH1697 went wellH2896. {and also…: or, and yet in Judah there were good things}
And he didH6213 evilH7451, because he preparedH3559 not his heartH3820 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068. {prepared: or, fixed}
TakeG142 myG3450 yokeG2218 uponG1909 youG5209, andG2532 learnG3129 ofG575 meG1700; forG3754 I amG1510 meekG4235 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147 restG372 unto yourG5216 soulsG5590.
ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 yourG5216 parentsG1118 inG1722 the LordG2962: forG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 rightG1342.
WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 a faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 hath made rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 themG846 meatG5160 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 he shall makeG2525 himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 hisG846 goodsG5224.
But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 evilG2556 servantG1401 shall sayG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, MyG3450 lordG2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064;
AndG2532 shall beginG756 to smiteG5180 his fellowservantsG4889, andG1161 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 withG3326 the drunkenG3184;
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 shall comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 for him, andG2532 inG1722 an hourG5610 thatG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 aware ofG1097,
AndG2532 shall cutG1371 himG846 asunderG1371, andG2532 appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the hypocritesG5273: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. {cut…: or, cut him off}
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphrathiteH673 of ZeredaH6868, Solomon'sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, even he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428.
And this was the causeH1697 that he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {repaired: Heb. closed}
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
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 I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for everH3117.
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379. And JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
