1When Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he abandoned the law of the Lord—he and all Israel with him. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rechav`am was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Yisra'el with him. 1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 After Rehoboam's kingdom was set up and he became strong, he and the people of Judah stopped obeying the teachings of the Lord . 1 After Rehoboam's rule was established and solidified, he and all Israel rejected the law of the Lord . 1When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the law of the LORD. 1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the LORD. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him. 1 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Nevertheless, they shall be his servants,.... tributaries to the king of Egypt:
that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries; the difference between them, how easy the one, which they might perform without taxes and tributes, and how hard and heavy the other, through the exactions and exorbitant demands of those to whom they became subjects.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That they may know my service, and the service of the kingdom - i. e., that they may contrast the light burthen of the theocracy with the heavy yoke of a foreign monarch.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 12:8. They shall be his servants — They shall be preserved, and serve their enemies, that they may see the difference between the service of God and that of man. While they were pious, they found the service of the Lord to be perfect freedom; when they forsook the Lord, they found the fruit to be perfect bondage. A sinful life is both expensive and painful.
