1 Kings 12:2

The Revolt Against Rehoboam

1 And ^aRehoboam went to ^bShechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

2 So it happened, when ^aJeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in ^bEgypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt ),

3 that they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

4 “Your father made our ^ayoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.”

5 So he said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” And the people departed.

6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, “How do you advise me to answer these people?”
