1 For ver. 1-19, see 2 Chr. 10:1-19Rehoboamwent to [Judg. 9:6]Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechemto make him king. 2 And as soon as ch. 11:26Jeroboamthe son of Nebatheard of it (for ch. 11:40he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), then Jeroboamreturned from12:2 Septuagint, Vulgate (compare 2 Chronicles 10:2); Hebrew lived inEgypt. 3 And they sent and called him, and Jeroboamand all the assembly of Israel came and said to Rehoboam, 4 ch. 4:7,22;9:15;See 1 Sam. 8:11-18"Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke on us, and we will serve you." 5 He said to them, ver. 12"Go away for three days, then come again to me." So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboamtook counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomonhis father while he was yet alive, saying, "How do you advise me to answer this people?" 7 And they said to him, "If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants forever." 8 But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him. 9 And he said to them, "What do you advise that we answer this people who have said to me, ‘Lighten the yoke that your father put on us’?" 10 And the young men who had grown up with him said to him, "Thus shall you speak to this people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you lighten it for us,’ thus shall you say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s thighs. 11 And now, whereas [See ver. 4above]my father laid on you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.’"
12 So Jeroboamand all the people came to Rehoboamthe third day, as the king said, ver. 5"Come to me again the third day." 13 And the king answered the people harshly, and forsaking the counsel that the old men had given him, 14 he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, [See ver. 4above]"My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions." 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for ver. 24it was a turn of affairs brought about by the Lordthat he might fulfill his word, which ch. 11:11,31the Lordspoke by Ahijahthe Shiloniteto Jeroboamthe son of Nebat.
The Kingdom Divided
16 And when all Israelsaw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, "What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. See 2 Sam. 20:1To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David." So Israelwent to their tents. 17 But Rehoboamreigned over ch. 11:13,36the people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah. 18 Then King Rehoboamsent ch. 4:6;5:14Adoram, who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehoboamhurried to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 2 Kgs. 17:21So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of Davidto this day. 20 And when all Israel heard that Jeroboamhad returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. There was none that followed the house of Davidbut ch. 11:13,32,36the tribe of Judahonly.
21 For ver. 21-24, see 2 Chr. 11:1-4When Rehoboamcame to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judahand the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehoboamthe son of Solomon. 22 But the word of God came to 2 Chr. 12:5,7,15Shemaiahthe man of God: 23 "Say to Rehoboamthe son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judahand Benjamin, and to the [ver. 17]rest of the people, 24 ‘Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up or fight against your relatives the people of Israel. Every man return to his home, ver. 15for this thing is from me.’" So they listened to the word of the Lordand went home again, according to the word of the Lord.
Jeroboam’s Golden Calves
25 Then Jeroboam[Judg. 9:45] built Shechemin the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And he went out from there and [Judg. 8:17]built Penuel. 26 And Jeroboamsaid in his heart, "Now the kingdom will turn back to the house of David. 27 If this people Deut. 12:5,6go up to offer sacrifices in the temple of the Lordat Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboamking of Judah, and they will kill me and return to Rehoboamking of Judah." 28 So the king took counsel and 2 Kgs. 10:29;17:16;2 Chr. 11:15;13:8;Hos. 8:5,6;10:5;13:2;[ch. 14:9] made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, "You have gone up to Jerusalemlong enough. [Ex. 32:4,8]Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt." 29 And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. 30 Then ch. 13:34;2 Kgs. 17:21this thing became a sin, for the people went as far as Danto be before one.12:30 Septuagint went to the one at Bethel and to the other as far as Dan31 He also made ch. 13:32temples on high places and ch. 13:33;2 Kgs. 17:32;2 Chr. 11:14,15;13:9appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites. 32 And Jeroboamappointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like Lev. 23:33,34;Num. 29:12the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he made. And he placed in Bethelch. 13:2;[Amos 7:13]the priests of the high places that he had made. 33 He went up to the altar that he had made in Bethelon the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month that he had devised from his own heart. And he instituted a feast for the people of Israeland went up to the altar ch. 13:1to make offerings.
