2 Chronicles 10
King James Version
10 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 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.
3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
4 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.
5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
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?
7 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.
8 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.
9 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?
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 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.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

10 Pumunta sa Shekem si Rehoboam sapagkat nagtipun-tipon doon ang buong Israel upang gawin siyang hari. 2 Nang mabalitaan iyon ni Jeroboam, anak ni Nebat na pumunta sa Egipto upang tumakas kay Haring Solomon, ay umuwi na ito. 3 Ipinasundo siya ng mga lipi sa hilaga at sama-sama silang pumunta kay Rehoboam. Sinabi nila: 4 “Binigyan po kami ng mabigat na pasanin ng inyong ama. Kung pagagaanin po ninyo ang pasanin na aming dinadala, paglilingkuran namin kayo.”
5 Sinagot sila ni Rehoboam: “Bigyan ninyo ako ng tatlong araw upang pag-isipan ang inyong kahilingan, saka kayo bumalik.” At umalis nga ang mga tao.
6 Sumangguni si Rehoboam sa matatandang tagapayo na naglingkod sa kanyang ama nang ito'y nabubuhay pa. Itinanong niya kung ano ang dapat niyang sabihin sa mga tao. 7 Ganito ang sabi ng matatanda: “Kapag magiging mabait kayo sa mga taong ito, at pagbibigyan ninyo sila sa kanilang kahilingan, paglilingkuran nila kayo nang tapat habang panahon.”
8 Ngunit binaliwala ni Rehoboam ang payo ng matatanda. Sa halip, sumangguni siya sa kanyang mga kababata na ngayo'y mga tagapayo niya. 9 Tinanong niya ang mga ito kung ano ang dapat niyang isagot sa mga taong humihiling na pagaanin ang pasaning ipinataw sa kanila ng kanyang ama.
10 Ganito naman ang sagot ng mga kabataan: “Sabihin mo sa kanila na ang iyong ama ay naging mahina. 11 Dagdagan mo pa ang pahirap sa kanila. Kung latigo ang panghampas sa kanila noon ng iyong ama, ngayon ay gawin mong tinik na bakal.”
12 Nang ikatlong araw, bumalik nga si Jeroboam at ang mga taong-bayan ayon sa sinabi sa kanila ni Rehoboam. 13 Taliwas sa payo ng matatanda, mabagsik ang sagot niya sa mga tao. 14 Ang sinunod niya'y ang payo ng mga kabataan. Sinabi niya, “Kung mabigat ang ipinapasan sa inyo ng aking ama, daragdagan ko pa iyan. Kung hinagupit niya kayo ng latigo, may tinik na bakal naman ang ihahagupit ko sa inyo.” 15 Hindi nga dininig ng hari ang karaingan ng bayan. Pinahintulutan iyon ng Diyos na si Yahweh upang matupad ang kanyang sinabi sa pamamagitan ni Ahias na taga-Shilo, tungkol kay Jeroboam na anak ni Nebat.
16 Nang(B) hindi sila pakinggan ng hari, sinabi nila: “Umuwi na tayo, O Israel! Ano bang mapapala natin kay David? Ano bang nagawa para sa atin ng anak ni Jesse? Bahala ka na sa buhay mo, Rehoboam!” At umuwi na ang mga mamamayan ng Israel. 17 Ngunit naghari si Rehoboam sa mga Israelitang naninirahan sa mga bayan ng Juda. 18 Sinugo ni Haring Rehoboam si Adoram, ang tagapangasiwa ng sapilitang paggawa sa sampung lipi ng Israel. Ngunit binato siya ng mga ito hanggang mamatay. Kaya't nagmamadaling sumakay sa karwahe si Rehoboam upang tumakas patungong Jerusalem. 19 Magmula noon, patuloy na naghimagsik sa paghahari ng angkan ni David ang sampung lipi ng Israel na nasa hilaga.
