Contextual Overview

1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all the Israelites had gone to make him king. 2 Jeroboam son of Nebat was in Egypt, where he had gone to escape from King Solomon. When Jeroboam heard about Rehoboam being made king, he returned from Egypt. 3 After the people sent for him, he and the people went to Rehoboam and said to him, 4 "Your father forced us to work very hard. Now, make it easier for us, and don't make us work as he did. Then we will serve you." 5 Rehoboam answered, "Come back to me in three days." So the people left. 6 King Rehoboam asked the elders who had advised Solomon during his lifetime, "How do you think I should answer these people?" 7 They answered, "Be kind to these people. If you please them and give them a kind answer, they will serve you always." 8 But Rehoboam rejected this advice. Instead, he asked the young men who had grown up with him and who served as his advisers. 9 Rehoboam asked them, "What is your advice? How should we answer these people who said, ‘Don't make us work as hard as your father did'?" 10 The young men who had grown up with him answered, "The people said to you, ‘Your father forced us to work very hard. Now make our work easier.' You should tell them, ‘My little finger is bigger than my father's legs.
