8: But he rejectedH5800 -H0853 the adviceH6098 the eldersH2205 whichH0834 had given himH3289 and consultedH3289 withH0854 the young menH3206 whoH0834 had grown upH1431 with himH0854 who stoodH5975 before him.H6440

9: And he saidH0559 to themH0413 whatH4100 youH0859 advice do giveH3289 and how should weH7725 answerH1697 -H0853 people,H5971 thisH2088 whoH0834 have spokenH1696 to meH0413 saying,H0559 LightenH7043 somewhatH4480 the yokeH5923 whichH0834 putH5414 your fatherH0001 on us.H5921

10: And spokeH1696 to himH0854 the young menH3206 whoH0834 had grown upH1431 with himH0854 saying,H0559 thusH3541 you should speakH0559 to the peopleH5971 whoH0834 have spokenH1696 to youH0413 saying,H0559 Your fatherH0001 made heavyH3513 -H0853 our yokeH5923 but you [it]H0859 make lighterH7043 on usH5921 thusH3541 you shall sayH0559 to themH0413 My little [finger]H6995 shall be thickerH5666 than waistH4975 of my father.H0001

11: And whereasH6258 my fatherH0001 putH6006 on youH5921 a yokeH5923 heavyH3515 and IH0589 will addH3254 toH5921 your yoke-H5923 my fatherH0001 chastisedH3256 youH0853 with whips,H7752 but I [will chastise you]H0589 with scourges.H6137

12: So cameH0935 JeroboamH3379 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 toH0413 RehoboamH7346 on the day,H3117 thirdH7992 asH0834 had directed,H1696 the kingH4428 saying,H0559 come backH7725 to meH0413 the dayH3117 third.H7992

14: and he spokeH1696 to themH0413 according to the adviceH6098 of the young men,H3206 saying,H0559 My father made heavyH3513 -H0853 your yokeH5923 but IH0589 will addH3254 to it-H5921 my fatherH0001 chastisedH3256 youH0853 with whips,H7752 but I [will chastise you]H0589 with scourges.H6137

15: So notH3808 did listenH8085 the kingH4428 toH0413 the people,H5971 forH3588 wasH1961 the turn [of events]H5252 fromH5973 God,H0430 thatH4616 might fulfillH6965 YahwehH3068 -H0853 His word,H1697 whichH0834 He had spokenH1696 by the handH3027 of AhijahH0281 the ShiloniteH7888 toH0413 JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of Nebat.H5028

16: And when allH3605 Israel [saw]H3478 thatH3588 notH3808 did listenH8085 the kingH4428 to themH1992 and answeredH7725 the peopleH5971 -H0853 the king,H4428 saying,H0559 whatH4100 shareH2506 in David?H1732 and noH3808 [We have] inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of Jesse.H3448 Every manH0376 to your tents,H0168 Israel-H3478 now,H6258 seeH7200 to your own house.H1004 David,H1732 so departedH1980 allH3605 IsraelH3478 to their tents.H0168

17: But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 who dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 and reignedH4427 overH5921 Rehoboam.H7346

18: And sentH7971 KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 -H0853 HadoramH1913 who [was]H0834 in chargeH5921 of revenue-H4522 but stonedH7275 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 with stones,H0068 and he died.H4191 Therefore KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 mountedH0553 in hasteH5927 [his] chariot,H4818 to fleeH5127 to Jerusalem.H3389

19: So has been in rebellionH6586 IsraelH3478 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088
