1 Kings 12:16

Rehoboam Responds Unwisely With Disastrous Results

¹⁵ The king did not listen to the people, because this turn of events came from the Lord to carry out His word, which the Lord had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat. ¹⁶ When all Israel saw that the king had not listened to them, the people answered him:

What portion do we have in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
Israel, return to your tents;
David, now look after your own house!

So Israel went to their tents, ¹⁷ but Rehoboam reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
