Contextual Overview

1 Rehoboam went to Shechem where everyone was waiting to crown him king. 2 Jeroboam son of Nebat heard what was happening, and he returned from Egypt, where he had gone to hide from Solomon. 3 The people from the northern tribes of Israel sent for him. Then together they went to Rehoboam and said, 4 "Your father Solomon forced us to work very hard. But if you make our work easier, we will serve you and do whatever you ask." 5 Rehoboam replied, "Come back in three days for my answer." So the people left. 6 Rehoboam went to some leaders who had been his father's senior officials, and he asked them, "What should I tell these people?" 7 They answered, "If you want them to serve and obey you, then you should be kind and promise to make their work easier." 8 But Rehoboam refused their advice and went to the younger men who had grown up with him and were now his officials. 9 He asked, "What do you think I should say to these people who asked me to make their work easier?" 10 His younger advisors said: Here's what we think you should say to them: "Compared to me, my father was weak.
