1 Reyes 12

1And Rehoboam^H7346 went^H3212 to Shechem^H7927: for all Israel^H3478 were come^H935 to Shechem^H7927 to make him king^H4427. 2And it came to pass, when Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028 heard^H8085 of it (for he was yet in Egypt^H4714, whither he had fled^H1272 from the presence^H6440 of king^H4428 Solomon^H8010, and Jeroboam^H3379 dwelt^H3427 in Egypt^H4714, 3and they sent^H7971 and called^H7121 him), that Jeroboam^H3379 and all the assembly^H6951 of Israel^H3478 came^H935, and spake^H1696 unto Rehoboam^H7346, saying^H559, 4Thy father^H1 made^H7185 our yoke^H5923 grievous^H7185: now therefore make thou the grievous^H7186 service^H5656 of thy father^H1, and his heavy^H3515 yoke^H5923 which he put^H5414 upon us, lighter^H7043, and we will serve^H5647 thee. 5And he said^H559 unto them, Depart^H3212 yet for three^H7969 days^H3117, then come again^H7725 to me. And the people^H5971 departed^H3212. 6And king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346 took counsel^H3289 with the old men^H2205, that had stood^H5975 before^H6440 Solomon^H8010 his father^H1 while he yet lived^H2416, saying^H559, What counsel^H3289 give ye me to return^H7725 answer^H1697 to this people^H5971? 7And they spake^H1696 unto him, saying^H559, If thou wilt be a servant^H5650 unto this people^H5971 this day^H3117, and wilt serve^H5647 them, and answer^H6030 them, and speak^H1696 good^H2896 words^H1697 to them, then they will be thy servants^H5650 for ever^H3117. 8But he forsook^H5800 the counsel^H6098 of the old men^H2205 which they had given^H3289 him, and took counsel^H3289 with the young men^H3206 that were grown up^H1431 with him, that stood^H5975 before^H6440 him. 9And he said^H559 unto them, What counsel give^H3289 ye, that we may^H7725 return answer^H1697 to this people^H5971, who have spoken^H1696 to me, saying^H559, Make^H7043 the yoke^H5923 that thy father^H1 did put^H5414 upon us lighter^H7043? 10And the young men^H3206 that were grown up^H1431 with him spake^H1696 unto him, saying^H559, Thus shalt thou say^H559 unto this people^H5971 that spake^H1696 unto thee, saying^H559, Thy father^H1 made^H3513 our yoke^H5923 heavy^H3513, but make thou it lighter^H7043 unto us; thus shalt thou speak^H1696 unto them, My little^H6995 finger is thicker^H5666 than my father's^H1 loins^H4975. 11And now whereas my father^H1 did lade^H6006 you with a heavy^H3515 yoke^H5923, I will add^H3254 to your yoke^H5923: my father^H1 chastised^H3256 you with whips^H7752, but I will chastise^H3256 you with scorpions^H6137. 12So Jeroboam^H3379 and all the people^H5971 came^H935 to Rehoboam^H7346 the third^H7992 day^H3117, as the king^H4428 bade^H1696, saying^H559, Come to me again^H7725 the third^H7992 day^H3117. 13And the king^H4428 answered^H6030 the people^H5971 roughly^H7186, and forsook^H5800 the counsel^H6098 of the old men^H2205 which they had given^H3289 him, 14and spake^H1696 to them after the counsel^H6098 of the young men^H3206, saying^H559, My father^H1 made^H3513 your yoke^H5923 heavy^H3513, but I will add^H3254 to your yoke^H5923: my father^H1 chastised^H3256 you with whips^H7752, but I will chastise^H3256 you with scorpions^H6137. 15So the king^H4428 hearkened^H8085 not unto the people^H5971; for it was^H5438 a thing brought about of Jehovah^H3068, that he might establish^H6965 his word^H1697, which Jehovah^H3068 spake^H1696 by^H3027 Ahijah^H281 the Shilonite^H7888 to Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028. 16And^H7725 when all Israel^H3478 saw^H7200 that the king^H4428 hearkened^H8085 not unto them, the people^H5971 answered^H1697 the king^H4428, saying^H559, What portion^H2506 have we in David^H1732? neither have we inheritance^H5159 in the son^H1121 of Jesse^H3448: to your tents^H168, O Israel^H3478: now see^H7200 to thine own house^H1004, David^H1732. So Israel^H3478 departed^H3212 unto their tents^H168. 17But as for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 that dwelt^H3427 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, Rehoboam^H7346 reigned^H4427 over them. 18Then king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346 sent^H7971 Adoram^H151, who was over the men subject to taskwork^H4522; and all Israel^H3478 stoned^H7275 him to death^H4191 with stones^H68. And king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346 made speed^H553 to get him up^H5927 to his chariot^H4818, to flee^H5127 to Jerusalem^H3389. 19So Israel^H3478 rebelled^H6586 against the house^H1004 of David^H1732 unto this day^H3117. 20And it came to pass, when all Israel^H3478 heard^H8085 that Jeroboam^H3379 was returned^H7725, that they sent^H7971 and called^H7121 him unto the congregation^H5712, and made him king^H4427 over all Israel^H3478: there was none that followed^H310 the house^H1004 of David^H1732, but^H2108 the tribe^H7626 of Judah^H3063 only. 21And when Rehoboam^H7346 was come^H935 to Jerusalem^H3389, he assembled^H6950 all the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063, and the tribe^H7626 of Benjamin^H1144, a hundred^H3967 and fourscore^H8084 thousand^H505 chosen men^H977, that were warriors^H6213, to fight^H3898 against the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, to bring^H7725 the kingdom^H4410 again^H7725 to Rehoboam^H7346 the son^H1121 of Solomon^H8010. 22But the word^H1697 of God^H430 came unto Shemaiah^H8098 the man^H376 of God^H430, saying^H559, 23Speak^H559 unto Rehoboam^H7346 the son^H1121 of Solomon^H8010, king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and unto all the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 and Benjamin^H1144, and to the rest^H3499 of the people^H5971, saying^H559, 24Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Ye shall not go up^H5927, nor fight^H3898 against your brethren^H251 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: return^H7725 every man^H376 to his house^H1004; for this thing^H1697 is^H1961 of me. So they hearkened^H8085 unto the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068, and returned^H7725 and went their way^H3212, according to the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068. 25Then Jeroboam^H3379 built^H1129 Shechem^H7927 in the hill-country^H2022 of Ephraim^H669, and dwelt^H3427 therein; and he went out^H3318 from thence, and built^H1129 Penuel^H6439. 26And Jeroboam^H3379 said^H559 in his heart^H3820, Now will the kingdom^H4467 return^H7725 to the house^H1004 of David^H1732: 27if this people^H5971 go up^H5927 to offer^H6213 sacrifices^H2077 in the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068 at Jerusalem^H3389, then will the heart^H3820 of this people^H5971 turn again^H7725 unto their lord^H113, even unto Rehoboam^H7346 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; and they will kill^H2026 me, and return^H7725 to Rehoboam^H7346 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063. 28Whereupon the king^H4428 took counsel^H3289, and made^H6213 two^H8147 calves^H5695 of gold^H2091; and he said^H559 unto them, It is too much^H7227 for you to go up^H5927 to Jerusalem^H3389: behold thy gods^H430, O Israel^H3478, which brought thee up^H5927 out of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714. 29And he set^H7760 the one^H259 in Beth-el^H1008, and the other^H259 put^H5414 he in Dan^H1835. 30And this thing^H1697 became a sin^H2403; for the people^H5971 went^H3212 to worship before^H6440 the one^H259, even unto Dan^H1835. 31And he made^H6213 houses^H1004 of high places^H1116, and made^H6213 priests^H3548 from among^H7098 all the people^H5971, that were not of the sons^H1121 of Levi^H3878. 32And Jeroboam^H3379 ordained^H6213 a feast^H2282 in the eighth^H8066 month^H2320, on the fifteenth^H2568 day^H3117 of the month^H2320, like unto the feast^H2282 that is in Judah^H3063, and he went^H5927 up unto the altar^H4196; so did^H6213 he in Beth-el^H1008, sacrificing^H2076 unto the calves^H5695 that he had made^H6213: and he placed^H5975 in Beth-el^H1008 the priests^H3548 of the high places^H1116 that he had made^H6213. 33And he went^H5927 up unto the altar^H4196 which he had made^H6213 in Beth-el^H1008 on the fifteenth^H2568 day^H3117 in the eighth^H8066 month^H2320, even in the month^H2320 which he had devised^H908 of his own heart^H3820: and he ordained^H6213 a feast^H2282 for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, and went^H5927 up unto the altar^H4196, to burn incense^H6999.
