== Divrei Hayamim II (Book of 2 Chronicles), Chapter 10 ==

<named id="1"/>1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

<named id="2"/>2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it--for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon--that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

<named id="3"/>3 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:

<named id="4"/>4 'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'

<named id="5"/>5 And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' And the people departed.

<named id="6"/>6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'

<named id="7"/>7 And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'

<named id="8"/>8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.

<named id="9"/>9 And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'

<named id="10"/>10 And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

<named id="11"/>11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'

<named id="12"/>12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'

<named id="13"/>13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,

<named id="14"/>14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'

<named id="15"/>15 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of G-d, that HaShem might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

<named id="16"/>16 And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto their tents.

<named id="17"/>17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

<named id="18"/>18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

<named id="19"/>19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

-<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
+<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.
-<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it--for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon--that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
+<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> But the word of HaShem came to Shemaiah the man of G-d, saying:
-<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
+<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> 'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying:
-<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> 'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
+<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> Thus saith HaShem: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren; return every man to his house, for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the words of HaShem, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
-<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' And the people departed.
+<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
-<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
+<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
-<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
+<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> and Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
-<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
+<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
-<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'
+<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
-<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
+<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
-<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
+<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine.
-<named id="13"/><sup>13</sup> And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
+<named id="13"/><sup>13</sup> And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border.
-<named id="14"/><sup>14</sup> and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
+<named id="14"/><sup>14</sup> For the Levites left their open land and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office unto HaShem;
-<named id="15"/><sup>15</sup> So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of G-d, that HaShem might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
+<named id="15"/><sup>15</sup> and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.
-<named id="16"/><sup>16</sup> And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto their tents.
+<named id="16"/><sup>16</sup> And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek HaShem, the G-d of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto HaShem, the G-d of their fathers.
-<named id="17"/><sup>17</sup> But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
+<named id="17"/><sup>17</sup> So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
-<named id="18"/><sup>18</sup> Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
+<named id="18"/><sup>18</sup> And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
-<named id="19"/><sup>19</sup> So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
+<named id="19"/><sup>19</sup> and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
