Contextual Overview
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had told them, saying, "Return to me on the third day." 13 The king answered them with strong words. King Rehoboam did not listen to the wise words of the leaders. 14 Instead he listened to the words of the young men. And he said to them, "My father made your load heavy, but I will add to it. My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions." 15 So the king did not listen to the people. God made this happen so that He might make His Word come true which He spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 16 All Israel saw that the king did not listen to them. So the people said to the king, "What share do we have in David? We have no share in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel! Now look to your own house, David!" So all Israel left and went to their tents. 17 But Rehoboam ruled over the people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah. 18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, the man who made the people work. But the people of Israel killed him with stones. So King Rehoboam got on his war-wagon in a hurry, to go to Jerusalem. 19 Israel has been against the family of David to this day.
