2 Chronicles 10:13-15

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹³ And the king answered them roughly, for 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 to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁵ So the king did not hearken unto the people, for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
