16 Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying:
(A)“What share have we in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
To your tents, O Israel!
Now, see to your own house, O David!”
So Israel departed to their tents. 17 But Rehoboam reigned over (B)the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.
18 Then King Rehoboam (C)sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem. 19 So (D)Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
20 Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all (E)Israel. There was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah (F)only.

16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share(A) do we have in David,
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(B)
Look after your own house, David!”
So the Israelites went home.(C) 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah,(D) Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](E) who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death.(F) King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David(G) to this day.
20 When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.(H)

11 Nevertheless (A)some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12 Also (B)the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the leaders, (C)at the word of the Lord.
13 Now many people, a very great assembly, gathered at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of (D)Unleavened Bread in the second month. 14 They arose and took away the (E)altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the incense altars and cast them into the Brook (F)Kidron. 15 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites [a]were (G)ashamed, and [b]sanctified themselves, and brought the burnt offerings to the house of the Lord. 16 They stood in their (H)place [c]according to their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood received from the hand of the Levites. 17 For there were many in the assembly who had not [d]sanctified themselves; (I)therefore the Levites had charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the Lord. 18 For a multitude of the people, (J)many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, (K)yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord provide atonement for everyone

11 Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled(A) themselves and went to Jerusalem.(B) 12 Also in Judah the hand of God was on the people to give them unity(C) of mind to carry out what the king and his officials had ordered, following the word of the Lord.
13 A very large crowd of people assembled in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread(D) in the second month. 14 They removed the altars(E) in Jerusalem and cleared away the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.(F)
15 They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed and consecrated(G) themselves and brought burnt offerings to the temple of the Lord. 16 Then they took up their regular positions(H) as prescribed in the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them by the Levites. 17 Since many in the crowd had not consecrated themselves, the Levites had to kill(I) the Passover lambs for all those who were not ceremonially clean and could not consecrate their lambs[a] to the Lord. 18 Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves,(J) yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the Lord, who is good, pardon everyone

Priests and Levites Move to Judah(A)
13 And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him. 14 For the Levites left (B)their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for (C)Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the Lord. 15 (D)Then he appointed for himself priests for the [a]high places, for (E)the demons, and (F)the calf idols which he had made. 16 (G)And [b]after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, (H)came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. 17 So they (I)strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.

11 He strengthened their defenses and put commanders in them, with supplies of food, olive oil and wine. 12 He put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin were his.
13 The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with him. 14 The Levites(A) even abandoned their pasturelands and property(B) and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord 15 when he appointed(C) his own priests(D) for the high places and for the goat(E) and calf(F) idols he had made. 16 Those from every tribe of Israel(G) who set their hearts on seeking the Lord, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 17 They strengthened(H) the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, following the ways of David and Solomon during this time.
