2 Samuel 15:1And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.2 Samuel 15:2And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.2 Samuel 15:3And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear thee.2 Samuel 15:4Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!2 Samuel 15:5And it was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.2 Samuel 15:6And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.2 Chronicles 10:3And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,2 Chronicles 10:4Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.2 Chronicles 10:5And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.2 Chronicles 10:6And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye [me] to return answer to this people?2 Chronicles 10:7And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.2 Chronicles 10:8But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.2 Chronicles 10:9And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?2 Chronicles 10:10And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father’s loins.2 Chronicles 10:11For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.2 Chronicles 10:12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.2 Chronicles 10:13And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,2 Chronicles 10:14And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.2 Chronicles 10:15So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.2 Chronicles 10:16And when all Israel [saw] that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: [and] now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
