King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And Rehoboam went
to Shechem :
for to Shechem were
all Israel come to make
him king
.
And Rehoboam goeth
to Shechem ,
for `
to '
Shechem have
all Israel come to cause
him to
reign
.
And it came
to pass, when
Jeroboam the
son of Nebat,
who was
in Egypt ,
whither
he fled from the presence
of Solomon the king ,
heard
it
, that Jeroboam returned
out of Egypt .
And it cometh
to pass, at
Jeroboam son of Nebat's
--
who `is'
in Egypt because
he hath
fled from the face
of Solomon the king --
hearing
, that Jeroboam turneth
back
out of Egypt ;
And they sent
and called
him .
So
Jeroboam and all Israel came
and spake
to
Rehoboam, saying,
and they send
and call
for
him ,
and
Jeroboam cometh
in,
and all Israel ,
and speak
unto
Rehoboam, saying,
Thy father made our yoke grievous:
now therefore
ease
thou
somewhat the grievous
servitude
of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will
serve thee.
`
Thy father made our yoke sharp,
and
now ,
make
light
`
somewhat '
of
the sharp
service
of thy father, and of
his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee. '
And he said
unto them, Come
again
unto
me
after
three days .
And the people departed
.
And he saith
unto them, `Yet
three days --
then
return
ye
unto
me;'
and the people go
.
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?
And king Rehoboam consulteth
with the aged
men who
have
been
standing
before Solomon his father in
his
being
alive
, saying, `How
are
ye counselling
to answer this people? '
And they spake
unto him, saying, If thou be
kind
to this people, and please
them, and speak
good words to
them
, they will
be
thy
servants for
ever
.
And they speak
unto him, saying, `
If thou dost
become
good
to this people, and hast
been
pleased
with
them, and spoken
unto
them
good words, then
they have
been
to
thee
servants all
the
days
. '
But
he forsook
the counsel which
the old
men gave
him, and took
counsel
with the young
men
that
were
brought
up with him, that
stood
before him .
And
he forsaketh
the counsel of
the aged
men that
they
counselled
him, and consulteth
with the lads
who
have
grown
up with him, those
standing
before him ,
And he said
unto them, What advice
give
ye that
we may
return
answer to
this people ,
which
have spoken to
me, saying, Ease
somewhat the yoke that thy father did
put upon us?
and he saith
unto them, `
What are
ye counselling,
and
we answer this people that
have spoken unto
me, saying, Make
light
`
somewhat '
of
the yoke that thy father put upon us? '
And the young
men
that
were
brought
up with him spake
unto
him, saying, Thus shalt
thou answer
the people that
spake
unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but
make
thou it
somewhat lighter
for
us
; thus shalt
thou say unto them, My little finger shall
be
thicker than my
father's
loins .
And the lads
who
have
grown
up with him ,
speak
with
him, saying, `
Thus dost
thou say
to
the people who
have
spoken
unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and
thou ,
make
light
`
somewhat '
of
our
yoke
; thus dost
thou say unto them, My little finger is
thicker than the
loins of
my
father;
For
whereas
my father put
a heavy yoke upon
you
, I will
put
more
to
your yoke :
my father chastised you with whips, but
I will
chastise
you
with scorpions.
and
now,
my father laid
on
you
a heavy yoke, and
I --
I
add
unto
your yoke ;
my father chastised you with whips, and
I --
with scorpions. '
So
Jeroboam and all the people came
to
Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade
, saying, Come
again
to
me on the third day.
And
Jeroboam cometh
in,
and all the people ,
unto
Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spake
, saying, `Return
unto
me on the third day. '
And the king answered
them roughly;
and king Rehoboam forsook
the counsel of the old
men,
And the king answereth
them sharply,
and king Rehoboam forsaketh
the counsel of the aged
men,
And answered
them after
the advice
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.
and speaketh
unto
them according
to
the counsel
of the lads
, saying, `
My father made your yoke heavy, and
I --
I
add unto
it;
my father chastised you with whips, and
I --
with scorpions. '
So
the king hearkened
not unto the people :
for the cause
was
of
God, that
the LORD
might
perform
his word ,
which
he spake by the hand of Ahijah
the Shilonite to
Jeroboam the
son of Nebat.
And
the king hath
not hearkened
unto the people ,
for the revolution
hath
been
from
God, for
the sake
of
Jehovah's
establishing
His word that
He spake by the hand of Abijah
the Shilonite unto
Jeroboam son of Nebat.
And when
all Israel saw
that the king would
not hearken
unto
them, the people answered
the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and
we
have
none
inheritance in the
son of Jesse :
every
man
to your
tents, O Israel :
and
now, David,
see to
thine
own
house .
So
all Israel went
to their tents.
And all Israel have
seen
that the king hath
not hearkened
to
them, and
the people send
back
`to'
the king, saying, `
What portion have we in David? yea,
there
is
no
inheritance in a
son of Jesse ;
each
to thy
tents, O Israel ;
now, see thy
house --
David,'
and
all Israel go
to their tents.
But
as for
the children
of Israel that
dwelt
in the cities of Judah ,
Rehoboam reigned
over them.
As to
the sons
of Israel who
are
dwelling
in the cities of Judah --
Rehoboam reigneth
over them.
Then
king Rehoboam sent
Hadoram that
was
over the tribute ;
and the children
of Israel stoned
him with
stones, that
he died.
But
king Rehoboam made
speed
to get
him
up to
his
chariot ,
to flee to Jerusalem .
And
king Rehoboam sendeth
Hadoram ,
who
`is'
over the tribute ,
and the sons
of Israel cast
at
him stones, and
he dieth;
and
king Rehoboam hath
strengthened
himself
to go
up into
a
chariot to flee to Jerusalem ;
And Israel rebelled
against the house of David unto this day.
and Israel transgress
against the house of David unto this day.
