 12:10 And the young men 3206 that x834 were grown up 1431 z8804 with x854 him spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 him, saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 shalt thou speak 559 z8799 unto this x2088 people 5971 that x834 spake 1696 z8765 unto x413 thee, saying, 559 z8800 Thy father 1 made y3513 z0 x853 our yoke 5923 heavy, 3513 z8689 but make thou x859 [it] lighter 7043 z8685 unto x4480 x5921 us; thus x3541 shalt thou say 1696 z8762 unto x413 them, My little 6995 [finger] shall be thicker 5666 z8804 than my father's 1 loins. 4975 x4480

 12:11 And now x6258 whereas my father 1 did lade 6006 z8689 x5921 you with a heauy 3515 yoke, 5923 I x589 wil adde 3254 z8686 to x5921 your yoke: 5923 my father 1 hath chastised 3256 z8765 you with whippes, 7752 but I x589 will chastise 3256 z8762 you with scorpions. 6137

 12:11 And now x6258 whereas my father 1 did lade 6006 z8689 x5921 you with a heavy 3515 yoke, 5923 I x589 will add 3254 z8686 to x5921 your yoke: 5923 my father 1 hath chastised 3256 z8765 you with whips, 7752 but I x589 will chastise 3256 z8762 you with scorpions. 6137

 12:12 ¶ So Ieroboam 3379 and all x3605 the people 5971 came 935 z8799 to x413 Rehoboam 7346 the third 7992 day, 3117 as x834 the king 4428 had appointed, 1696 z8765 saying, 559 z8800 Come x7725 to x413 me againe y7725 z8798 the third 7992 day. 3117

 12:15 Wherefore the king 4428 hearkened 8085 z8804 not x3808 vnto x413 the people: 5971 for x3588 the cause 5438 was x1961 from x4480 x5973 the LORD, 3068 that x4616 hee might performe 6965 z8687 x853 his saying, 1697 which x834 the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 Ahiiah 281 the Shilonite 7888 vnto x413 Ieroboam 3379 the sonne 1121 of Nebat. 5028

 12:15 Wherefore the king 4428 hearkened 8085 z8804 not x3808 unto x413 the people; 5971 for x3588 the cause 5438 was x1961 from x4480 x5973 the LORD, 3068 that x4616 he might perform 6965 z8687 x853 his saying, 1697 which x834 the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 Ahijah 281 the Shilonite 7888 unto x413 Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat. 5028

 12:16 ¶ So y7725 z8686 when all x3605 Israel 3478 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 the king 4428 hearkned 8085 z8804 not x3808 vnto x413 them, the people 5971 answered 1697 x7725 x853 the king, 4428 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 portion 2506 haue we in Dauid? 1732 neither x3808 [haue we] inheritance 5159 in the sonne 1121 of Iesse: 3448 to your tents, 168 O Israel: 3478 nowe x6258 see 7200 z8798 to thine owne house, 1004 Dauid. 1732 So Israel 3478 departed y3212 z8799 x1980 vnto their tents. 168

 12:16 ¶ So y7725 z8686 when all x3605 Israel 3478 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 the king 4428 hearkened 8085 z8804 not x3808 unto x413 them, the people 5971 answered 1697 x7725 x853 the king, 4428 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 portion 2506 have we in David? 1732 neither x3808 [have we] inheritance 5159 in the son 1121 of Jesse: 3448 to your tents, 168 O Israel: 3478 now x6258 see 7200 z8798 to thine own house, 1004 David. 1732 So Israel 3478 departed y3212 z8799 x1980 unto their tents. 168

 12:17 But as for the children 1121 of Israel 3478 which dwelt 3427 z8802 in the cities 5892 of Iudah, 3063 Rehoboam 7346 reigned 4427 z8799 ouer x5921 them.

 12:17 But [as for] the children 1121 of Israel 3478 which dwelt 3427 z8802 in the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 Rehoboam 7346 reigned 4427 z8799 over x5921 them.

 12:18 Then king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 sent 7971 z8799 x853 Adoram, 151 who x834 [was] ouer x5921 the tribute, 4522 and all x3605 Israel 3478 stoned 7275 z8799 him with stones 68 that hee died: 4191 z8799 therefore king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 made speed 553 z8694 to get him vp 5927 z8800 to his charet, 4818 to flee 5127 z8800 to Ierusalem. 3389

 12:18 Then king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 sent 7971 z8799 x853 Adoram, 151 who x834 [was] over x5921 the tribute; 4522 and all x3605 Israel 3478 stoned 7275 z8799 him with stones, 68 that he died. 4191 z8799 Therefore king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 made speed 553 z8694 to get him up 5927 z8800 to his chariot, 4818 to flee 5127 z8800 to Jerusalem. 3389

 12:19 So Israel 3478 rebelled 6586 z8799 against the house 1004 of David 1732 unto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117

 12:22 But the word 1697 of God 430 came x1961 vnto x413 Shemaiah, 8098 the man 376 of God, 430 saying, 559 z8800

 12:22 But the word 1697 of God 430 came x1961 unto x413 Shemaiah 8098 the man 376 of God, 430 saying, 559 z8800

 12:23 Speake 559 z8798 vnto x413 Rehoboam 7346 the sonne 1121 of Solomon 8010 king 4428 of Iudah, 3063 and vnto x413 all x3605 the house 1004 of Iudah 3063 and Beniamin, 1144 and to the remnant 3499 of the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800

 12:23 Speak 559 z8798 unto x413 Rehoboam, 7346 the son 1121 of Solomon, 8010 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 and unto x413 all x3605 the house 1004 of Judah 3063 and Benjamin, 1144 and to the remnant 3499 of the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800

 12:24 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Ye shall not x3808 goe vp, 5927 z8799 nor x3808 fight 3898 z8735 against x5973 your brethren 251 the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 returne 7725 z8798 euery man 376 to his house, 1004 for x3588 this x2088 thing 1697 is 1961 z8738 from x4480 x854 me. They hearkened 8085 z8799 therefore x853 to the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 and returned 7725 z8799 to depart, y3212 z8800 x1980 according to the word 1697 of the LORD. 3068
