Contextual Overview
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem. All Israel had come to Shechem to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard about it, he returned from Egypt. For Jeroboam had run to Egypt to get away from King Solomon. 3 And the people sent for him. Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said, 4 "Your father gave us a heavy load to carry. So now make our work easier than your father made us work. Do not let our load be as heavy as the one he put on us. And we will work for you." 5 Rehoboam said to them, "Come to me again in three days." So the people left. 6 Then King Rehoboam spoke with the leaders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive. He said, "Tell me, how do you think I should answer these people?" 7 They said to him, "If you will be kind to these people and please them and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever." 8 But Rehoboam would not listen to the wise words of the leaders. He spoke with the young men who grew up with him and served him. 9 He said to them, "Tell me, how do you think I should answer these people who have said to me, ‘Do not let our load be as heavy as the one your father put on us'?" 10 The young men who grew up with him said to him, "Say this to the people who said to you, ‘Your father made our load heavy, but you make it easier for us.' Tell them, ‘My little finger is bigger around than my father's body!
