2nd Chronicles Chapter 10 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And Rehoboam <H7346> went <H3212> to Shechem: <H7927> for to Shechem <H7927> were all Israel <H3478> come <H0935> to make him king. <H4427>
2: And it came to pass, when Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat, <H5028> who [was] in Egypt, <H4714> whither he had fled <H1272> from the presence <H6440> of Solomon <H8010> the king, <H4428> heard <H8085> [it], that Jeroboam <H3379> returned <H7725> out of Egypt. <H4714>
3: And they sent <H7971> and called <H7121> him. So Jeroboam <H3379> and all Israel <H3478> came <H0935> and spake <H1696> to Rehoboam, <H7346> saying, <H0559>
4: Thy father <H0001> made our yoke <H5923> grievous: <H7185> now therefore ease <H7043> thou somewhat the grievous <H7186> servitude <H5656> of thy father, <H0001> and his heavy <H3515> yoke <H5923> that he put <H5414> upon us, and we will serve <H5647> thee.
5: And he said <H0559> unto them, Come again <H7725> unto me after three <H7969> days. <H3117> And the people <H5971> departed. <H3212>
6: And king <H4428> Rehoboam <H7346> took counsel <H3289> with the old men <H2205> that had stood <H5975> before <H6440> Solomon <H8010> his father <H0001> while he yet lived, <H2416> saying, <H0559> What <H0349> counsel give <H3289> ye [me] to return <H7725> answer <H1697> to this people? <H5971>
7: And they spake <H1696> unto him, saying, <H0559> If thou be kind <H2896> to this people, <H5971> and please <H7521> them, and speak <H1696> good <H2896> words <H1697> to them, they will be thy servants <H5650> for ever. <H3605> <H3117>
8: But he forsook <H5800> the counsel <H6098> which the old men <H2205> gave <H3289> him, and took counsel <H3289> with the young men <H3206> that were brought up <H1431> with him, that stood <H5975> before <H6440> him.
9: And he said <H0559> unto them, What advice give <H3289> ye that we may return <H7725> answer <H1697> to this people, <H5971> which have spoken <H1696> to me, saying, <H0559> Ease <H7043> somewhat the yoke <H5923> that thy father <H0001> did put <H5414> upon us?
10: And the young men <H3206> that were brought up <H1431> with him spake <H1696> unto him, saying, <H0559> Thus shalt thou answer <H0559> the people <H5971> that spake <H1696> unto thee, saying, <H0559> Thy father <H0001> made our yoke <H5923> heavy, <H3513> but make thou [it] somewhat lighter <H7043> for us; thus shalt thou say <H0559> unto them, My little <H6995> [finger] shall be thicker <H5666> than my father's <H0001> loins. <H4975>
11: For whereas <H6258> my father <H0001> put <H6006> a heavy <H3515> yoke <H5923> upon you, I will put more <H3254> to your yoke: <H5923> my father <H0001> chastised <H3256> you with whips, <H7752> but I [will chastise you] with scorpions. <H6137>
12: So Jeroboam <H3379> and all the people <H5971> came <H0935> to Rehoboam <H7346> on the third <H7992> day, <H3117> as the king <H4428> bade, <H1696> saying, <H0559> Come again <H7725> to me on the third <H7992> day. <H3117>
13: And the king <H4428> answered <H6030> them roughly; <H7186> and king <H4428> Rehoboam <H7346> forsook <H5800> the counsel <H6098> of the old men, <H2205>
14: And answered <H1696> them after the advice <H6098> of the young men, <H3206> saying, <H0559> My father <H0001> made your yoke <H5923> heavy, <H3513> but I will add <H3254> thereto: my father <H0001> chastised <H3256> you with whips, <H7752> but I [will chastise you] with scorpions. <H6137>
15: So the king <H4428> hearkened <H8085> not unto the people: <H5971> for the cause <H5252> was of God, <H0430> that the LORD <H3068> might perform <H6965> his word, <H1697> which he spake <H1696> by the hand <H3027> of Ahijah <H0281> the Shilonite <H7888> to Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat. <H5028>
16: And when all Israel <H3478> [saw] <H7200> that the king <H4428> would not hearken <H8085> unto them, the people <H5971> answered <H7725> the king, <H4428> saying, <H0559> What portion <H2506> have we in David? <H1732> and [we have] none inheritance <H5159> in the son <H1121> of Jesse: <H3448> every man <H0376> to your tents, <H0168> O Israel: <H3478> [and] now, David, <H1732> see <H7200> to thine own house. <H1004> So all Israel <H3478> went <H3212> to their tents. <H0168>
17: But [as for] the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> that dwelt <H3427> in the cities <H5892> of Judah, <H3063> Rehoboam <H7346> reigned <H4427> over them.
18: Then king <H4428> Rehoboam <H7346> sent <H7971> Hadoram <H1913> that [was] over the tribute; <H4522> and the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> stoned <H7275> him with stones, <H0068> that he died. <H4191> But king <H4428> Rehoboam <H7346> made speed <H0553> to get him up <H5927> to [his] chariot, <H4818> to flee <H5127> to Jerusalem. <H3389>
19: And Israel <H3478> rebelled <H6586> against the house <H1004> of David <H1732> unto this day. <H3117>
