And|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3117" people|strong="H5971" departed|strong="H3212".
6 And|strong="H7725" king|strong="H4428" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" took|strong="H1961" counsel|strong="H3289" with|strong="H1697" the|strong="H6440" old|strong="H2205" men|strong="H2205", that|strong="H5971" had|strong="H1961" stood|strong="H5975" before|strong="H6440" Solomon|strong="H8010" his|strong="H7725" father while|strong="H1961" he|strong="H8010" yet|strong="H5975" lived|strong="H2416", saying|strong="H1697", What|strong="H1697" counsel|strong="H3289" give|strong="H3289" ye|strong="H1697" me|strong="H6440" to|strong="H7725" return|strong="H7725" answer|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" this|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971"?

10 And|strong="H5971" the|strong="H5921" young|strong="H3206" men|strong="H3206" that|strong="H5971" were|strong="H5971" grown|strong="H1431" up|strong="H1431" with|strong="H1696" him|strong="H5921" spake|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" him|strong="H5921", saying|strong="H1696", Thus|strong="H3541" shalt thou|strong="H1696" say|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" this|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" spake|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" thee|strong="H1696", saying|strong="H1696", Thy|strong="H3513" father made|strong="H3513" our|strong="H5921" yoke|strong="H5923" heavy|strong="H3513", but|strong="H1696" make|strong="H1431" thou|strong="H1696" it|strong="H5921" lighter|strong="H7043" unto|strong="H1696" us|strong="H5921"; thus|strong="H3541" shalt thou|strong="H1696" speak|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" them|strong="H5921", My|strong="H5921" little|strong="H6995" finger|strong="H6995" is|strong="H2088" thicker|strong="H5666" than|strong="H5921" my|strong="H5921" father’s loins|strong="H4975".

13 And|strong="H6030" the|strong="H5800" king|strong="H4428" answered|strong="H6030" the|strong="H5800" people|strong="H5971" roughly|strong="H7186", and|strong="H6030" forsook|strong="H5800" the|strong="H5800" counsel|strong="H6098" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5800" old|strong="H2205" men|strong="H2205" which|strong="H5971" they|strong="H5971" had|strong="H4428" given|strong="H3289" him|strong="H6030";

15 So|strong="H4616" the|strong="H8085" king|strong="H4428" hearkened|strong="H8085" not|strong="H3808" unto|strong="H1696" the|strong="H8085" people|strong="H5971"; for|strong="H3588" it|strong="H3588" was|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" thing|strong="H1697" brought|strong="H1961" about|strong="H1961" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H8085" LORD|strong="H3068", that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" might|strong="H3068" establish|strong="H6965" his|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697", which|strong="H3068" the|strong="H8085" LORD|strong="H3068" spake|strong="H1696" by|strong="H3027" the|strong="H8085" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" Ahijah the|strong="H8085" Shilonite|strong="H7888" to|strong="H1696" Jeroboam|strong="H3379" the|strong="H8085" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Nebat|strong="H5028".
16 And|strong="H1121" when|strong="H3588" all|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H3478" saw|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" hearkened|strong="H8085" not|strong="H3808" unto|strong="H7725" them|strong="H7725", the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" answered|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428", saying|strong="H1697", What|strong="H4100" portion|strong="H2506" have|strong="H5971" we|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732"? neither|strong="H3808" have|strong="H5971" we|strong="H3068" inheritance|strong="H5159" in|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Jesse|strong="H3448": to|strong="H7725" your|strong="H3605" tents, O|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478": now|strong="H6258" see|strong="H7200" to|strong="H7725" thine|strong="H7725" own|strong="H5971" house|strong="H1004", David|strong="H1732". So|strong="H3808" Israel|strong="H3478" departed|strong="H3212" unto|strong="H7725" their|strong="H3605" tents.
17 But|strong="H5921" as|strong="H4427" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" which|strong="H5892" dwelt|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H5921" cities|strong="H5892" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063", Rehoboam|strong="H7346" reigned|strong="H4427" over|strong="H5921" them|strong="H5921".
18 Then|strong="H7971" king|strong="H4428" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" sent|strong="H7971" Adoram, who|strong="H3605" was|strong="H3478" over|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" levy|strong="H4522"; and|strong="H3478" all|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H3478" stoned|strong="H7275" him|strong="H5921" with|strong="H5921" stones, that|strong="H3605" he|strong="H3605" died|strong="H4191". And|strong="H3478" king|strong="H4428" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" made|strong="H7346" speed to|strong="H3478" get|strong="H5927" him|strong="H5921" up|strong="H5927" to|strong="H3478" his|strong="H3605" chariot|strong="H4818", to|strong="H3478" flee|strong="H5127" to|strong="H3478" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
19 So|strong="H2088" Israel|strong="H3478" rebelled|strong="H6586" against|strong="H6586" the|strong="H3117" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" David|strong="H1732", unto|strong="H3478" this|strong="H2088" day|strong="H3117".

21 And|strong="H3967" when|strong="H7725" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" was|strong="H3478" come|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" Jerusalem|strong="H3389", he|strong="H6213" assembled|strong="H6950" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H3605" tribe|strong="H7626" of|strong="H1121" Benjamin|strong="H1144", an|strong="H6213" hundred|strong="H3967" and|strong="H3967" fourscore|strong="H8084" thousand chosen men|strong="H1121", which|strong="H1004" were|strong="H3478" warriors|strong="H4421", to|strong="H7725" fight|strong="H3898" against|strong="H5973" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", to|strong="H7725" bring|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" kingdom|strong="H4410" again|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Solomon|strong="H8010".
22 But|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1697" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1697" God came|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H1697" Shemaiah|strong="H8098" the|strong="H1697" man of|strong="H1697" God, saying|strong="H1697",
23 Speak unto|strong="H5971" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Solomon|strong="H8010", king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H1121" unto|strong="H5971" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063" and|strong="H1121" Benjamin|strong="H1144", and|strong="H1121" to|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" rest|strong="H3499" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971", saying,
24 Thus|strong="H3541" saith the|strong="H8085" LORD|strong="H3068", Ye|strong="H8085" shall|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" go|strong="H3212" up|strong="H5927", nor|strong="H3808" fight|strong="H3898" against|strong="H5973" your|strong="H3068" brethren the|strong="H8085" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478": return|strong="H7725" every|strong="H3212" man|strong="H1121" to|strong="H7725" his|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004"; for|strong="H3588" this|strong="H2088" thing|strong="H1697" is|strong="H3068" of|strong="H1121" me|strong="H7725". So|strong="H3541" they|strong="H3588" hearkened|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H7725" the|strong="H8085" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H8085" LORD|strong="H3068", and|strong="H1121" returned|strong="H7725" and|strong="H1121" went|strong="H3212" their|strong="H3068" way|strong="H3212", according to|strong="H7725" the|strong="H8085" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H8085" LORD|strong="H3068".
