5 And|strong="H7725" he|strong="H3117" said unto|strong="H7725" them|strong="H7725", Come|strong="H3212" again|strong="H7725" unto|strong="H7725" me|strong="H7725" after|strong="H3117" three|strong="H7969" days|strong="H3117". And|strong="H7725" the|strong="H7725" 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"?

8 But|strong="H5800" he|strong="H6440" forsook|strong="H5800" the|strong="H6440" counsel|strong="H6098" of|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" old|strong="H2205" men|strong="H2205" which|strong="H3206" they|strong="H3289" had given|strong="H3289" him|strong="H6440", and|strong="H6440" took|strong="H5975" counsel|strong="H6098" with|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" young|strong="H3206" men|strong="H2205" that|strong="H3206" were|strong="H2205" grown|strong="H1431" up|strong="H5975" with|strong="H6440" him|strong="H6440", that|strong="H3206" stood|strong="H5975" before|strong="H6440" him|strong="H6440".
9 And|strong="H7725" he|strong="H5414" said|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" them|strong="H5414", What|strong="H4100" counsel|strong="H3289" give|strong="H5414" ye|strong="H5414", that|strong="H5971" we|strong="H3068" may|strong="H5971" return|strong="H7725" answer|strong="H7725" to|strong="H1696" this|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971", who|strong="H5971" have|strong="H5971" spoken|strong="H1696" to|strong="H1696" me|strong="H5414", saying|strong="H1697", Make|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5921" yoke|strong="H5923" that|strong="H5971" thy|strong="H5414" father did|strong="H4100" put|strong="H5414" upon|strong="H5921" us|strong="H5414" lighter|strong="H7043"?
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" the|strong="H5921" 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" say|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" them|strong="H5921", My|strong="H5921" little|strong="H6995" finger|strong="H6995" is|strong="H3206" thicker|strong="H5666" than|strong="H5921" my|strong="H5921" father’s loins|strong="H4975".
11 And|strong="H3254" now|strong="H6258" whereas|strong="H6258" my|strong="H5921" father did|strong="H3254" lade|strong="H6006" you|strong="H5921" with|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" heavy|strong="H3515" yoke|strong="H5923", I|strong="H5921" will|strong="H3254" add|strong="H3254" to|strong="H5921" your|strong="H5921" yoke|strong="H5923": my|strong="H5921" father chastised|strong="H3256" you|strong="H5921" with|strong="H5921" whips|strong="H7752", but|strong="H6258" I|strong="H5921" will chastise you with|strong="H5921" scorpions|strong="H6137".
12 So|strong="H7725" Jeroboam|strong="H3379" and|strong="H7725" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" came|strong="H5971" to|strong="H1696" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" the|strong="H3605" third|strong="H7992" day|strong="H3117", as|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" bade|strong="H1696", saying|strong="H1696", Come|strong="H7725" to|strong="H1696" me|strong="H7725" again|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" third|strong="H7992" day|strong="H3117".
13 And|strong="H6030" the|strong="H5800" king|strong="H4428" answered|strong="H6030" them|strong="H6030" roughly|strong="H7186"; and|strong="H6030" king|strong="H4428" Rehoboam|strong="H7346" forsook|strong="H5800" the|strong="H5800" counsel|strong="H6098" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5800" old|strong="H2205" men|strong="H2205",

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" brought|strong="H1961" about|strong="H1961" of|strong="H1121" God|strong="H3068", that|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068" might|strong="H3068" establish|strong="H6965" his|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697", which|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3588" spake|strong="H1696" by|strong="H3027" 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="H1992", the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" answered|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428", saying, 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": every|strong="H3605" man|strong="H1121" 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" all|strong="H3605" 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" that|strong="H3478" 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" Hadoram|strong="H1913", who|strong="H1121" was|strong="H3478" over|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" men|strong="H1121" subject to|strong="H3478" taskwork; and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5921" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" stoned|strong="H7275" him|strong="H5921" to|strong="H3478" death|strong="H4191" with|strong="H5921" stones. And|strong="H1121" 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="H7971" 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".
