1 Kings 12:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And Israel rebelled against the house [a]of David unto this day.
20 ¶ And when all Israel had heard that Jeroboam was come again, they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah (A)only.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he [b]gathered all the house of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand of chosen men (which were good warriors) to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
