罗波安继位(A)
10 罗波安到示剑去，因为全体以色列人都去了示剑，要立他作王。 2 那时，尼八的儿子耶罗波安，因为逃避所罗门王，住在埃及；他一听见这事，就从埃及回来。 3 他们派人去叫耶罗波安回来；他就和全体以色列人来见罗波安，对他说： 4 “你父亲使我们所负的轭甚重，现在求你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的劳役和重轭，我们就服事你。” 5 罗波安对他们说：“三天以后你们再来见我吧！”众人就离去了。
不采纳老年人的意见(B)
6 罗波安王和一些在他父亲所罗门在世的时候，侍立在所罗门面前的老人商议，说：“你们有甚么提议，我好回复这班民众呢？” 7 他们对他说：“如果王善待人民，使他们喜悦，对他们说好话，他们就必永远作你的仆人。”
听从少年人的计谋(C)
8 王不接受这些老人的意见，却去和那些同他一起长大，侍立在他面前的年轻人商议， 9 问他们：“这人民对我说：求你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的重轭吧。你们有甚么提议，我好回复他们呢？” 10 那些同他一起长大的年轻人对他说：“这人民对王说：‘你父亲使我们所负的轭甚重，现在求你减轻些吧。’王要这样对他们说：‘我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗呢。 11 我父亲把重轭加在你们身上，我必使你们负更重的轭；我父亲用鞭打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们。’”
12 耶罗波安和全体人民都遵照罗波安王所说“你们第三天再来见我”的话，第三天来见罗波安。 13 罗波安王很严厉地回答他们。罗波安王不接受老人的意见， 14 却照着年轻人的主意对他们说：“我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们。” 15 王不听从人民的要求，这事原是出于 神，为要实现耶和华借着示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话。
以色列人背叛(D)
16 以色列人见王不听他们的要求，就对王说：
“我们和大卫有甚么关系呢？
我们和耶西的儿子并不相干。
以色列人哪，各回各家去吧，
大卫啊，现在只顾你自己的家吧。”
于是全体以色列人都回自己的家去了。 17 只有那些住在犹大众城镇的以色列人，罗波安仍然作他们的王。 18 罗波安王差派了监管苦工的哈多兰（“哈多兰”是“亚多尼兰”或“亚多兰”的另一种写法；参王上4:6，12:18）到以色列人那里去，以色列人就用石头把他打死了。罗波安王急忙上车，逃回耶路撒冷去了。 19 这样，以色列人背叛了大卫家，直到今日。
2 Chronicles 10
EasyEnglish Bible
The Israelites ask Rehoboam to make their work easier
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, because all the Israelites had gone there to make him king.[a] 2 At this time, Nebat's son Jeroboam was in Egypt. He had been living there since he ran away from King Solomon. When he heard the news about Rehoboam, he returned from Egypt. 3 The Israelites sent a message to Jeroboam to meet with them. Then Jeroboam and all the Israelites went to speak to Rehoboam. They said to him, 4 ‘Your father caused us to work too hard. Please make the work easier for us. If you do that, we will serve you as our king.’ 5 Rehoboam answered them, ‘Go away for three days. Then come back to me.’ So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam went to talk to the older advisors who had served his father Solomon. He asked them, ‘What answer should I give to these people?’
7 They replied, ‘If you agree to be kind to these people and help them, they will always serve you as their king. So do what they are asking you to do.’
8 But Rehoboam did not agree with their advice. Instead he talked to some younger men. They had been his friends since they were young and now they were his advisors. 9 He asked them, ‘What do you think that I should say to these people? They want me to make their work easier.’
10 Rehoboam's young advisors said, ‘The people said to you, “Your father made us work too hard. Please make our work easier.” You should tell them, “Even my little finger is thicker than my father's whole body! 11 My father made you work hard. I will make you work even harder! My father punished you with little whips. I will punish you with whips that bite your skin!” ’
Rehoboam refuses to do what the people want
12 Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam after three days. That was because the king had said, ‘Return to me in three days.’
13 King Rehoboam spoke cruel words to the people. He did not agree to say what the older men had told him to say. 14 Instead, he did what the young men had suggested. He said to the people, ‘My father gave you work that was too hard for you. I will make it even worse! My father punished you with little whips. I will punish you with whips that bite!’
15 So the king did not agree to do what the people wanted him to do. It was God who caused this to happen. He had already given his message about this to Nebat's son Jeroboam. The prophet Ahijah who came from Shiloh had spoken the Lord's message to Jeroboam.[b]
Israel and Judah become separate kingdoms
16 All the Israelites realized that the king refused to listen to them. So they said to the king,
‘We can no longer serve the family of Jesse's son, David!
Israelites, go back to your homes!
You descendant of David, take care of your own family!’
So the Israelites went to their homes. 17 But Rehoboam continued to rule over the Israelites who lived in the towns of Judah.[c]
18 King Rehoboam sent a man called Adoniram to talk to the Israelite people. Adoniram had authority over the men who had to work for Rehoboam. But the Israelites threw stones at Adoniram and they killed him.[d] So King Rehoboam quickly got into his chariot and he escaped to Jerusalem.
19 Since that time, the tribes in the north of Israel have not accepted the authority of King David's descendants.

北方支派背叛罗波安
10 罗波安前往示剑，因为以色列人都去了那里要立他为王。 2 尼八的儿子耶罗波安曾为了躲避所罗门王而逃往埃及，并一直住在那里。他听到消息便返回以色列。 3 以色列人派人去请他，他就和以色列众人去见罗波安，说： 4 “你父亲使我们负担沉重，求你减轻我们的负担吧，我们一定效忠你。” 5 罗波安对他们说：“你们三天之后再来见我。”众人就离开了。
6 罗波安王去征询曾服侍他父亲所罗门的老臣的意见，说：“你们认为我该怎样回复这些百姓？” 7 他们回禀说：“王若善待这些百姓，使他们喜悦，对他们好言相待，他们会永远做王的仆人。”
8 罗波安却没有采纳老臣的意见。他又去征询那些和他一起长大的青年臣僚的意见， 9 说：“百姓求我减轻我父亲加给他们的重担。你们认为我该怎样回复他们？” 10 他们说：“百姓说你父亲使他们负担沉重，请求你减轻他们的负担。你可以这样回复他们，‘我的小指头比我父亲的腰还粗。 11 我父亲使你们负重担，我要使你们负更重的担子；我父亲用鞭子打你们，我要用刺鞭打你们。’”
12 过了三天，耶罗波安和百姓遵照罗波安王的话来见他。 13-14 罗波安王没有采纳老臣的建议，而是照青年臣僚的建议，疾言厉色地对他们说：“我父亲使你们负重担，我要使你们负更重的担子！我父亲用鞭子打你们，我要用刺鞭打你们！” 15 王不听百姓的请求。这事出于耶和华上帝，为要应验祂借示罗人亚希雅先知对尼八的儿子耶罗波安说的话。
16 以色列人见王不听他们的请求，就说：
“我们与大卫有何相干？
我们与耶西的儿子没有关系！
以色列人啊，各自回家吧！
大卫家啊，自己照顾自己吧！”
于是，以色列人都各自回家了。 17 但住在犹大城邑的以色列人仍受罗波安统治。 18 罗波安王派劳役总管哈多兰去以色列人那里，以色列人却用石头打死了他，罗波安王连忙上车逃回耶路撒冷。 19 从此，以色列人反叛大卫家，直到今天。
