1 Kings 12:16

Rehoboam Responds Unwisely With Disastrous Results

¹⁵ The king would not listen to the people, because the turn of events was from the LORD, to fulfill his prediction that the LORD spoke by means of Ahijah the Shilonite to Nebat's son Jeroboam ¹⁶ When all of Israel saw that the king wasn't listening to them, the people responded to the king's message, "What's the point in following David? We have no inheritance in the descendants of Jesse. Let's go home, Israel! David, take care of your own household!' So Israel left for home. ¹⁷ And so Rehoboam ruled over the Israelis who lived in the cities of Judah.
