1 Kings 12:14 CPDV

¹²  Therefore, Jeroboam and all the people went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had spoken, saying, 'Return to me on the third day.'

¹³  And the king responded to the people harshly, leaving behind the counsel of the elders that they had given to him.

¹⁴  And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father weighed down your yoke, but I will add more to your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.'

¹⁵  And the king did not acquiesce to the people. For the Lord had turned him away, so that he might raise up his word, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

¹⁶  And so the people, seeing that the king had not been willing to listen to them, responded to him, saying: 'What part do we have in David? Or what inheritance do we have in the son of Jesse? Go to your own tents, O Israel. Now David, see to your own house.' And Israel went away to their own tents.
