2 Chronicles 10

1 The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to crown Rehoboam, by Jeroboam make a suit of relaxation unto him. 6 Rehoboam, refusing the old men's cousel, by the advice of young men answereth them roughly. 16 Ten tribes revolting kill Hadoram, and make Rehoboam to flee.

 10:1 ¶ And Rehoboam 7346 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Shechem: 7927 for x3588 to Shechem 7927 were all x3605 Israel 3478 come 935 z8804 to make him king. 4427 z8687 x853

 10:2 And it came to passe x1961 when Ieroboam 3379 the sonne 1121 of Nebat 5028 (who x1931 [was] in Egypt, 4714 whither x834 hee had fled 1272 z8804 from the presence 6440 x4480 of Solomon 8010 the king) 4428 heard 8085 z8800 it, that Ieroboam 3379 returned 7725 z8799 out of Egypt. 4714 x4480

 10:3 And they sent 7971 z8799 and called 7121 z8799 him. So Ieroboam 3379 and all x3605 Israel 3478 came, 935 z8799 and spake 1696 z8762 to x413 Rehoboam, 7346 saying, 559 z8800

 10:4 Thy father 1 made x853 our yoke 5923 grieuous, 7185 z8689 nowe x6258 therefore ease 7043 z8685 thou somewhat the grieuous 7186 seruitude 5656 x4480 of thy father, 1 and his heauy 3515 yoke 5923 x4480 that x834 he put 5414 z8804 vpon x5921 vs, and we will serue 5647 z8799 thee.

 10:5 And hee said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Come againe 7725 z8798 vnto x413 me after x5750 three 7969 dayes. 3117 And the people 5971 departed. y3212 z8799 x1980

 10:6 ¶ And king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 tooke counsel 3289 z8735 with x854 the old y2205 men x2205 that x834 had x1961 stood 5975 z8802 before 6440 Solomon 8010 his father, 1 while hee yet liued, 2416 x1961 saying, 559 z8800 What 349 counsell giue 3289 z8737 ye x859 [me], to returne 7725 z8687 answere 1697 to this x2088 people? 5971

 10:7 And they spake 1696 z8762 vnto x413 him, saying, 559 z8800 If x518 thou bee x1961 kinde 2896 to this x2088 people, 5971 and please 7521 z8804 them, and speake 1696 z8765 good 2896 words 1697 to x413 them, they will be x1961 thy seruants 5650 for euer. 3117 x3605

 10:8 But he forsooke 5800 z8799 x853 the counsel 6098 which x834 the old men 2205 gaue 3289 z8804 him, and tooke counsell 3289 z8735 with x854 the yong men, 3206 that x834 were brought vp 1431 z8804 with x854 him, that stood 5975 z8802 before 6440 him.

 10:9 And he said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, What x4100 aduice y3289 z8737 giue x3289 ye, x859 that wee may returne 7725 z8686 answere 1697 x853 to this x2088 people, 5971 which x834 haue spoken 1696 z8765 to x413 me, saying, 559 z8800 Ease 7043 z8685 somewhat x4480 the yoke 5923 that x834 thy father 1 did put 5414 z8804 vpon x5921 vs?

 10:10 And the yong men 3206 that x834 were brought vp 1431 z8804 with x854 him, spake 1696 z8762 vnto x854 him, saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 shalt thou answere 559 z8799 the people 5971 that x834 spake 1696 z8765 vnto x413 thee, saying, 559 z8800 Thy father 1 made y3513 z0 our yoke y5923 heauy, 3513 z8689 x853 x5923 but make thou it somewhat lighter 7043 z8685 x859 for x4480 x5921 vs: thus x3541 shalt thou say 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, My litle 6995 finger shall be thicker 5666 z8804 then my fathers 1 loynes. 4975 x4480

 10:11 For where as 6258 my father 1 put 6006 z8689 a heauy 3515 yoke 5923 vpon x5921 you, I x589 will put more 3254 z8686 to x5921 your yoke: 5923 my father 1 chastised 3256 z8765 you with whips, 7752 but I x589 [will chastise you] with scorpions. 6137

 10:12 So Ieroboam 3379 and all x3605 the people 5971 came 935 z8799 to x413 Rehoboam 7346 on the third 7992 day, 3117 as x834 the King 4428 bade, 1696 z8765 saying, 559 z8800 Come againe 7725 z8798 to x413 me on the third 7992 day. 3117

 10:13 And the king 4428 answered 6030 z8799 them roughly, 7186 and king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 forsooke 5800 z8799 x853 the counsell 6098 of the old men, 2205

 10:14 And answered 1696 z8762 x413 them after the aduice 6098 of the yong men, 3206 saying, 559 z8800 My father 1 made your yoke y5923 heauy, 3513 z8689 x853 x5923 but I x589 will adde 3254 z8686 thereto: x5921 my father 1 chastised 3256 z8765 you with whips, 7752 but I x589 [will chastise you] with scorpions. 6137

 10:15 So the king 4428 hearkened 8085 z8804 not x3808 vnto x413 the people, 5971 for x3588 the cause 5252 was x1961 of x4480 x5973 God, 430 that x4616 the LORD 3068 might performe 6965 z8687 x853 his word, 1697 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 by the hand 3027 of Ahijah 281 the Shilonite 7888 to x413 Ieroboam 3379 the sonne 1121 of Nebat. 5028

 10:16 ¶ And when all x3605 Israel 3478 [sawe] y7200 z8804 that x3588 the king 4428 would not x3808 hearken 8085 z8804 vnto them, the people 5971 answered 7725 z8686 x853 the king 4428 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 portion 2506 [haue] wee in Dauid? 1732 and wee [haue] none x3808 inheritance 5159 in the sonne 1121 of Iesse: 3448 Euery man 376 to your tents, 168 O Israel: 3478 and now x6258 Dauid, 1732 see 7200 z8798 to thine owne house. 1004 So all x3605 Israel 3478 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to their tents. 168

 10:17 But as for the children 1121 of Israel 3478 that dwelt 3427 z8802 in the cities 5892 of Iudah, 3063 Rehoboam 7346 reigned 4427 z8799 ouer x5921 them.

 10:18 Then king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 sent 7971 z8799 x853 Hadoram 1913 that x834 [was] ouer x5921 the tribute, 4522 and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 stoned 7275 z8799 him with stones, 68 that he died: 4191 z8799 but 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

 10:19 And Israel 3478 rebelled 6586 z8799 against the house 1004 of Dauid 1732 vnto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117
