1 Kings 12:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³ And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and said to Rehoboam, ⁴ ‘Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke that he placed on us, and we will serve you.’ ⁵ He said to them, ‘Go away for three days, then come again to me.’ So the people went away.
