King Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had served during the lifetime of his father Solomon. He said, “What answer do you counsel to give these people?”
And the young men who had grown up with him answered, “Speak thus to the people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us.’ Say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
He spoke to them in accordance with the counsel of the young men, and said, “I will makebI will make Some mss. and printed editions read “my father made”; cf. 1 Kings 12.14. your yoke heavy, and I will add to it; my father flogged you with whips, but I [will do so] with scorpions.”
The king did not listen to the people, for God had brought it about—in order to fulfill the promise that GOD had made through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
When all Israel [saw] that the king had not listened to them, the people answered the king:“We have no portion in David,No share in Jesse’s son!Everyone to your tents, O Israel!Now look to your own house, O David.”So all Israel returned to their homes.chomes Lit. “tents.”
