2 Chronicles 10:15 BBE

¹³  And the king gave them a rough answer. So King Rehoboam gave no attention to the suggestion of the old men,

¹⁴  But gave them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

¹⁵  So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

¹⁶  And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.

¹⁷  But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.
