Contextual Overview

¹² So Yarov‘am and all the people came to Rechav‘am the third day, as the king had requested by saying, "Come to me again the third day"; ¹³ and the king answered them harshly. Abandoning the advice of the older men, King Rechav‘am ¹⁴ addressed them according to the advice of the young men and said, "I will make your yoke heavy, and I will add to it! My father controlled you with whips, but I will control you with scorpions!" ¹⁵ So the king didn't listen to the people; and that was something God brought about, so that Adonai could fulfill his word, which he had spoken through Achiyah from Shiloh to Yarov‘am the son of N'vat. ¹⁶ When all Isra'el [saw] that the king wasn't listening to them, the people answered the king, "Do we have any share in David? We have no heritage in the son of Yishai! Everyone to your tents, Isra'el! Care for your own house, David!" So all Isra'el left for their tents. ¹⁷ But as for the people of Isra'el living in the cities of Y'hudah, Rechav‘am ruled over them. ¹⁸ King Rechav‘am then sent Hadoram, who was in charge of forced labor; but the people of Isra'el stoned him to death. King Rechav‘am managed to mount his chariot and flee to Yerushalayim. ¹⁹ Isra'el has been in rebellion against the dynasty of David to this day.
