2 Chronicles 10:3-5

The Message

^3-4 Summoned by Israel, Jeroboam and all Israel went to Rehoboam and said, “Your father made life hard for us—worked our fingers to the bone. Give us a break; lighten up on us and we’ll willingly serve you.”

⁵ “Give me,” said Rehoboam, “three days to think it over; then come back.” So the people left.
