2 Chronicles 10:15 (AKJV) American King James Version

1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease you somewhat the grievous servitude of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we will serve you.
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give you me to return answer to this people?
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If you be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 And he said to them, What advice give you that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that your father did put on us?
10 And the young men that were brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you answer the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it somewhat lighter for us; thus shall you say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 So the king listened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to your own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelled in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
1 And Rehoboam H7346 went H1980 W-VQY3MS to Shechem H7927 : for H3588 CONJ to Shechem H7927 LMS were all H3605 CMS Israel H3478 come H935 VQQ3MP to make him king H4427 .
2 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 , who H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was in Egypt H4714 , whither H834 RPRO he had fled H1272 from the presence H6440 M-CMP of Solomon H8010 MMS the king H4428 D-NMS , heard H8085 it , that Jeroboam H3379 returned H7725 out of Egypt H4714 .
3 And they sent H7971 and called H7121 W-VQY3MP him . So Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 W-CMS Israel H3478 came H935 W-VQY3MS and spoke H1696 to H413 PREP Rehoboam H7346 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
4 Thy father H1 NMS made our yoke H5923 grievous H7185 VHQ3MS : now H6258 W-ADV therefore ease H7043 thou somewhat the grievous H7186 servitude H5656 of thy father H1 NMS , and his heavy H3515 yoke H5923 that H834 RPRO he put H5414 VQQ3MS upon H5921 PREP-1MP us , and we will serve H5647 thee .
5 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Come again H7725 unto H413 me after H5750 ADV three H7969 BMS days H3117 NMP . And the people H5971 D-NMS departed H1980 W-VQY3MS .
6 And king H4428 D-NMS Rehoboam H7346 took counsel H3289 with H854 PREP the old men H2205 that H834 RPRO had H1961 VQQ3MP stood H5975 before H6440 L-CMP Solomon H8010 MMS his father H1 CMS-3MS while he yet lived H1961 , saying H559 L-VQFC , What H349 counsel give H3289 ye H859 PPRO-2MS me to return H7725 L-VHFC answer H1697 to this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 ?
7 And they spoke H1696 W-VPY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , saying H559 L-VQFC , If H518 PART thou be H1961 VQY2MS kind H2896 to this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , and please H7521 them , and speak H1696 good H2896 words H1697 NMP to H413 PREP-3MS them , they will be H1961 W-VQQ3MS thy servants H5650 NMP forever H3117 D-NMP .
8 But he forsook H5800 the counsel H6098 CFS which H834 RPRO the old men H2205 gave H3289 him , and took counsel H3289 with H854 PREP the young men H3206 that H834 RPRO were brought up H1431 with H854 PREP-3MS him , that stood H5975 before H6440 him .
9 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , What H4100 IGAT advice give H3289 ye H859 PPRO-2MS that we may return H7725 answer H1697 VQPMS to this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , which H834 RPRO have spoken H1696 to H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Ease H7043 somewhat H4480 PREP the yoke H5923 that H834 RPRO thy father H1 NMS did put H5414 VQQ3MS upon H5921 us ?
10 And the young men H3206 that H834 RPRO were brought up H1431 with H854 PREP-3MS him spoke H1696 W-VPY3MP unto H854 PREP-3MS him , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thus H3541 shalt thou answer H559 VQY2MS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO spoke H1696 unto H413 PREP-2MS thee , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thy father H1 NMS made our yoke heavy H3513 , but make thou it somewhat lighter H7043 for us ; thus H3541 shalt thou say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MS them , My little H6995 finger shall be thicker H5666 than my father H1 NMS \'s loins H4975 .
11 For whereas H6258 W-ADV my father H1 CMS-1MS put H6006 a heavy H3515 VQS3MS yoke H5923 upon H5921 PREP-2MP you , I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will put more H3254 to H5921 PREP your yoke H5923 : my father H1 CMS-1MS chastised H3256 you with whips H7752 , but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will chastise you with scorpions H6137 .
12 So Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Rehoboam H7346 on the third H7992 day H3117 B-AMS , as H834 K-RPRO the king H4428 D-NMS bade H1696 VPQ3MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Come again H7725 to H413 PREP me on the third H7992 day H3117 B-AMS .
13 And the king H4428 D-NMS answered H6030 them roughly H7186 ; and king H4428 D-NMS Rehoboam H7346 forsook H5800 the counsel H6098 CFS of the old men H2205 ,
14 And answered H1696 W-VPY3MS them after the advice H6098 of the young men H3206 , saying H559 L-VQFC , My father H1 CMS-1MS made your yoke heavy H3513 , but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will add H3254 thereto H5921 PREP-3MS : my father H1 CMS-1MS chastised H3256 you with whips H7752 , but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will chastise you with scorpions H6137 .
15 So the king H4428 D-NMS hearkened H8085 not H3808 W-NPAR unto H413 PREP the people H5971 : for H3588 CONJ the cause H5252 was H1961 VQQ3FS of M-PREP God H430 D-NAME-4MS , that H4616 L-CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS might perform H6965 his word H1697 , which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Ahijah H281 the Shilonite H7888 to H413 PREP Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 .
16 And when all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 saw that H3588 CONJ the king H4428 D-NMS would not H3808 NADV hearken H8085 unto them , the people H5971 answered H7725 the king H4428 D-NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , What H4100 IPRO portion H2506 CMS have we in David H1732 ? and we have none H3808 ADV inheritance H5159 NFS in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 : every man H376 NMS to your tents H168 , O Israel H3478 : and now H6258 ADV , David H1732 , see H7200 VQI2MS to thine own house H1004 . So all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 went H1980 W-VQY3MS to their tents H168 .
17 But as for the children H1121 W-CMP of Israel H3478 that dwelt H3427 in the cities H5892 B-CFP of Judah H3063 , Rehoboam H7346 reigned H4427 over H5921 PREP-3MP them .
18 Then king H4428 D-NMS Rehoboam H7346 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Hadoram H1913 that H834 RPRO was over H5921 PREP the tribute H4522 ; and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 stoned H7275 him with stones H68 GFS , that he died H4191 . But king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 made speed H553 to get him up H5927 to his chariot H4818 , to flee H5127 to Jerusalem H3389 .
19 And Israel H3478 rebelled H6586 against the house H1004 B-CMS of David H1732 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
