1 Kings 12:1-5 - Israel's Appeal To Rehoboam
1 And Rehoboam will go to Shechem, for to Shechem came all Israel to make him king. 2 And it will be when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard and he yet in Egypt where he fled from the face of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; 3 And they will send and call for him: and Jeroboam and all the convocation of Israel will come and speak to Rehoboam, saying, 4 Thy father made our yoke hard and now do thou lighten from the hard service of thy father, and from the heavy yoke which he gave upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 And he will say to them, Go ye, until three days, and turn back to me. And the people will go.
