1 Kings 11:43Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.1 Kings 12:1Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.1 Kings 12:2It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt,1 Kings 12:3and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,1 Kings 12:4“Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”1 Kings 12:5He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” The people departed.1 Kings 12:6King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?”1 Kings 12:7They spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”1 Kings 12:8But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.1 Kings 12:9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?’”1 Kings 12:10The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell this people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us;’ you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.1 Kings 12:11Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”1 Kings 12:12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”1 Kings 12:13The king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,1 Kings 12:14and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”1 Kings 12:15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about of Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.1 Kings 12:16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? Neither do we have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.1 Kings 12:17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.1 Kings 12:18Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.1 Kings 12:19So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.1 Kings 12:20It happened, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.1 Kings 12:21When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.1 Kings 12:22But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,1 Kings 12:23“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,1 Kings 12:24‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the word of Yahweh, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Yahweh.1 Kings 14:25It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;1 Kings 14:26and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.1 Kings 14:27King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.1 Kings 14:28It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.1 Kings 14:31Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

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 the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”2 Chronicles 10:13The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,2 Chronicles 10:14and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”2 Chronicles 10:15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that Yahweh might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.2 Chronicles 10:16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.2 Chronicles 10:17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.2 Chronicles 10:18Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.2 Chronicles 10:19So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.2 Chronicles 11:1When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.2 Chronicles 11:2But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,2 Chronicles 11:3“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,2 Chronicles 11:4‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the words of Yahweh, and returned from going against Jeroboam.2 Chronicles 11:5Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.2 Chronicles 11:6He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,2 Chronicles 11:7Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam,2 Chronicles 11:8and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,2 Chronicles 11:9and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,2 Chronicles 11:10and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
