1 Kings 12:12-19 - Rehoboam Responds Unwisely With Disastrous Results
12 And Jeroboam and all the people will come to Rehoboam in the third day, as the king spake, saying, Turn back to me in the third day. 13 And the king will answer the people hard, and he will forsake the counsel of the old men which they counseled him; 14 And he will speak to them according to the counsel of the children, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add upon your yoke: my father chastised you with whips and I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 And the king heard not to the people, for the turn was from Jehovah for sake of lifting up his word which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat. 16 And all Israel will see that the king heard not to them, and the people will turn back the king word, saying, What part to us in David? and no inheritance in the son of Jesse: to thy tents, O Israel: now see to thy house, David. And Israel will go to their tents. 17 And the sons of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam will reign over them.
18 And king Rehoboam will send Adoram who was over the tribute, and all Israel will stone upon him with stone, and he will die. And king Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 And Israel will break with the house of David even to this day.
