1 Kings 12:27 (KJV) King James Version

1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
1 And Rehoboam H7346 went H1980 to Shechem: H7927 for H3588 all H3605 Israel H3478 were come H935 to Shechem H7927 to make him king H4427 H853 .
2 And it came to pass, H1961 when Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who H1931 was yet H5750 in Egypt, H4714 heard H8085 of it , ( for H834 he was fled H1272 from the presence H4480 H6440 of king H4428 Solomon, H8010 and Jeroboam H3379 dwelt H3427 in Egypt; H4714 )
3 That they sent H7971 and called H7121 him . And Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 came, H935 and spoke H1696 unto H413 Rehoboam, H7346 saying, H559
4 Thy father H1 made H853 our yoke H5923 grievous: H7185 now H6258 therefore make thou H859 the grievous H7186 service H4480 H5656 of thy father, H1 and his heavy H3515 yoke H4480 H5923 which H834 he put H5414 upon H5921 us, lighter, H7043 and we will serve H5647 thee.
5 And he said H559 unto H413 them, Depart H1980 yet H5750 for three H7969 days, H3117 then come again H7725 to H413 me . And the people H5971 departed. H1980
6 And king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 consulted H3289 with H854 the old men, H2205 that H834 stood H5975 H853 before H6440 Solomon H8010 his father H1 while H1961 he yet lived, H2416 and said, H559 How H349 do ye H859 advise H3289 that I may answer H7725 H1697 H853 this H2088 people H5971 ?
7 And they spoke H1696 unto H413 him, saying, H559 If H518 thou wilt be H1961 a servant H5650 unto this H2088 people H5971 this day, H3117 and wilt serve H5647 them , and answer H6030 them , and speak H1696 good H2896 words H1697 to H413 them , then they will be H1961 thy servants H5650 forever H3605 H3117 .
8 But he forsook H5800 H853 the counsel H6098 of the old men, H2205 which H834 they had given H3289 him , and consulted H3289 with H854 the young men H3206 that H834 were grown up H1431 with H854 him, and which H834 stood H5975 before H6440 him:
9 And he said H559 unto H413 them, What H4100 counsel H3289 give ye H859 that we may answer H7725 H1697 H853 this H2088 people, H5971 who H834 have spoken H1696 to H413 me, saying, H559 Make the yoke H5923 which H834 thy father H1 did put H5414 upon H5921 us lighter H7043 ?
10 And the young men H3206 that H834 were grown up H1431 with H854 him spoke H1696 unto H413 him, saying, H559 Thus H3541 shalt thou speak H559 unto this H2088 people H5971 that H834 spoke H1696 unto H413 thee, saying, H559 Thy father H1 made H853 our yoke H5923 heavy, H3513 but make thou H859 it lighter H7043 unto H4480 H5921 us; thus H3541 shalt thou say H1696 unto H413 them , My little H6995 finger shall be thicker H5666 than my father's H1 loins H4480 H4975 .
11 And now H6258 whereas my father H1 did lade H6006 H5921 you with a heavy H3515 yoke, H5923 I H589 will add H3254 to H5921 your yoke: H5923 my father H1 hath chastised H3256 you with whips, H7752 but I H589 will chastise H3256 you with scorpions. H6137
12 So Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 the people H5971 came H935 to H413 Rehoboam H7346 the third H7992 day, H3117 as H834 the king H4428 had appointed, H1696 saying, H559 Come H7725 to H413 me again the third H7992 day. H3117
13 And the king H4428 answered H6030 H853 the people H5971 roughly, H7186 and forsook H5800 H853 the old men's H2205 counsel H6098 that H834 they gave H3289 him;
14 And spoke H1696 to H413 them after the counsel H6098 of the young men, H3206 saying, H559 My father H1 made H853 your yoke H5923 heavy, H3513 and I H589 will add H3254 to H5921 your yoke: H5923 my father H1 also chastised H3256 you with whips, H7752 but I H589 will chastise H3256 you with scorpions. H6137
15 Wherefore the king H4428 hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 the people; H5971 for H3588 the cause H5438 was H1961 from H4480 H5973 the LORD, H3068 that H4616 he might perform H6965 H853 his saying, H1697 which H834 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 by H3027 Ahijah H281 the Shilonite H7888 unto H413 Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat. H5028
16 So when all H3605 Israel H3478 saw H7200 that H3588 the king H4428 hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 them , the people H5971 answered H7725 H1697 H853 the king, H4428 saying, H559 What H4100 portion H2506 have we in David H1732 ? neither H3808 have we inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse: H3448 to your tents, H168 O Israel: H3478 now H6258 see H7200 to thine own house, H1004 David. H1732 So Israel H3478 departed H1980 unto their tents. H168
17 But as for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 which dwelt H3427 in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 Rehoboam H7346 reigned H4427 over H5921 them.
18 Then king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 sent H7971 H853 Adoram, H151 who H834 was over H5921 the tribute; H4522 and all H3605 Israel H3478 stoned H7275 him with stones, H68 that he died. H4191 Therefore king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 made speed H553 to get him up H5927 to his chariot, H4818 to flee H5127 to Jerusalem. H3389
19 So Israel H3478 rebelled H6586 against the house H1004 of David H1732 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117
20 And it came to pass, H1961 when all H3605 Israel H3478 heard H8085 that H3588 Jeroboam H3379 was come again, H7725 that they sent H7971 and called H7121 him unto H413 the congregation, H5712 and made him king H4427 H853 over H5921 all H3605 Israel: H3478 there was H1961 none H3808 that followed H310 the house H1004 of David, H1732 but H2108 the tribe H7626 of Judah H3063 only. H905
21 And when Rehoboam H7346 was come H935 to Jerusalem, H3389 he assembled H6950 H853 all H3605 the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 with H854 the tribe H7626 of Benjamin, H1144 a hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 thousand H505 chosen H977 men , which were warriors H6213 H4421 , to fight H3898 against H5973 the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 to bring H7725 H853 the kingdom H4410 again to Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon. H8010
22 But the word H1697 of God H430 came H1961 unto H413 Shemaiah H8098 the man H376 of God, H430 saying, H559
23 Speak H559 unto H413 Rehoboam, H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon, H8010 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and unto H413 all H3605 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin, H1144 and to the remnant H3499 of the people, H5971 saying, H559
24 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Ye shall not H3808 go up, H5927 nor H3808 fight H3898 against H5973 your brethren H251 the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 return H7725 every man H376 to his house; H1004 for H3588 this H2088 thing H1697 is H1961 from H4480 H854 me . They hearkened H8085 therefore H853 to the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and returned H7725 to depart, H1980 according to the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
25 Then Jeroboam H3379 built H1129 H853 Shechem H7927 in mount H2022 Ephraim, H669 and dwelt H3427 therein ; and went out H3318 from thence H4480 H8033 , and built H1129 H853 Penuel. H6439
26 And Jeroboam H3379 said H559 in his heart, H3820 Now H6258 shall the kingdom H4467 return H7725 to the house H1004 of David: H1732
27 If H518 this H2088 people H5971 go up H5927 to do H6213 sacrifice H2077 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 at Jerusalem, H3389 then shall the heart H3820 of this H2088 people H5971 turn again H7725 unto H413 their lord, H113 even unto H413 Rehoboam H7346 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and they shall kill H2026 me , and go again H7725 to H413 Rehoboam H7346 king H4428 of Judah. H3063
28 Whereupon the king H4428 took counsel, H3289 and made H6213 two H8147 calves H5695 of gold, H2091 and said H559 unto H413 them , It is too much H7227 for you to go up H4480 H5927 to Jerusalem: H3389 behold H2009 thy gods, H430 O Israel, H3478 which H834 brought H5927 thee up out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt. H4714
29 And he set H7760 H853 the one H259 in Bethel, H1008 and the other H259 put H5414 he in Dan. H1835
30 And this H2088 thing H1697 became H1961 a sin: H2403 for the people H5971 went H1980 to worship before H6440 the one, H259 even unto H5704 Dan. H1835
31 And he made H6213 H853 a house H1004 of high places, H1116 and made H6213 priests H3548 of the lowest H4480 H7098 of the people, H5971 which H834 were H1961 not H3808 of the sons H4480 H1121 of Levi. H3878
32 And Jeroboam H3379 ordained H6213 a feast H2282 in the eighth H8066 month, H2320 on the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the month, H2320 like unto the feast H2282 that H834 is in Judah, H3063 and he offered H5927 upon H5921 the altar. H4196 So H3651 did H6213 he in Bethel, H1008 sacrificing H2076 unto the calves H5695 that H834 he had made: H6213 and he placed H5975 in Bethel H1008 H853 the priests H3548 of the high places H1116 which H834 he had made. H6213
33 So he offered H5927 upon H5921 the altar H4196 which H834 he had made H6213 in Bethel H1008 the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the eighth H8066 month, H2320 even in the month H2320 which H834 he had devised H908 of his own heart H4480 H3820 ; and ordained H6213 a feast H2282 unto the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 and he offered H5927 upon H5921 the altar, H4196 and burnt incense.
