Contextual Overview

¹² So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them. ¹³ And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients. ¹⁴ And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions. ¹⁵ And he condescended not to the people’s requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat. ¹⁶ And all the people upon the king’s speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings. ¹⁷ But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda. ¹⁸ And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to get up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem. ¹⁹ And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.
