Chapter 10 And Rehoboam went to Shechem.

00:05.640 --> 00:08.320
For to Shechem were all Israel come to
make him king.

00:09.620 --> 00:15.000
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son
of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had

00:15.000 --> 00:19.900
fled from the presence of Solomon the
king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out

00:19.900 --> 00:20.360
of Egypt.

00:21.200 --> 00:22.500
And they sent and called him.

00:23.180 --> 00:29.240
So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake
to Rehoboam, saying, Thy father made our

00:29.240 --> 00:30.100
yoke grievous.

00:30.780 --> 00:35.640
Now therefore ease thou somewhat the
grievous servitude of thy father and his

00:35.640 --> 00:38.400
heavy yoke that he put upon us,
and we will serve thee.

00:38.820 --> 00:41.940
And he said unto them, Come again unto me
after three days.

00:42.180 --> 00:43.140
And the people departed.

00:43.900 --> 00:48.580
And King Rehoboam took counsel with the
old men that had stood before Solomon his

00:48.580 --> 00:53.240
father while he yet lived, saying,
What counsel give ye me to return answer

00:53.240 --> 00:53.940
to this people?

00:54.100 --> 00:58.160
And they spake unto him, saying,
If thou be kind to this people and please

00:58.160 --> 01:03.240
them and speak good words to them,
they will be thy servants for ever.

01:03.680 --> 01:07.840
But he forsook the counsel which the old
men gave him and took counsel with the

01:07.840 --> 01:10.600
young men that were brought up with him
that stood before him.

01:11.260 --> 01:15.880
And he said unto them, What advice give ye
that we may return answer to this people

01:15.880 --> 01:20.100
which have spoken to me, saying,
Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did

01:20.100 --> 01:20.960
put upon us.

01:21.300 --> 01:24.320
And the young men that were brought up
with him spake unto him, saying,

01:24.320 --> 01:29.700
Thus shalt thou answer the people that
spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made

01:29.700 --> 01:33.140
our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat
lighter for us.

01:33.960 --> 01:38.520
Thus shalt thou say unto them,
My little finger shall be thicker than my

01:38.520 --> 01:39.440
father's loins.

01:39.940 --> 01:45.020
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke
upon you, I will put more to your yoke.

01:45.460 --> 01:50.060
My father chastised you with whips,
but I will chastise you with scorpions.

01:50.060 --> 01:56.260
So Jeroboam and all the people came to
Rehoboam on the third day, as the king

01:56.260 --> 01:59.300
bade, saying, Come again to me on the
third day.

01:59.800 --> 02:01.140
And the king answered them roughly.

02:01.980 --> 02:06.580
And King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of
the old men, and answered them after the

02:06.580 --> 02:10.200
advice of the young men, saying,
My father made your yoke heavy,

02:10.620 --> 02:12.260
but I will add thereto.

02:12.800 --> 02:17.800
My father chastised you with whips,
but I will chastise you with scorpions.

02:17.800 --> 02:23.020
So the king hearkened not unto the people,
for the cause was of God, that the Lord

02:23.020 --> 02:27.560
might perform his word, which he spake by
the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to

02:27.560 --> 02:29.080
Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

02:29.580 --> 02:33.540
And when all Israel saw that the king
would not hearken unto them, the people

02:33.540 --> 02:36.920
answered the king, saying, What portion
have we in David?

02:37.400 --> 02:40.540
And we have none inheritance in the son of
Jesse.

02:41.060 --> 02:43.600
Every man to your tents, O Israel.

02:44.140 --> 02:47.140
And now, David, see to thine own house.

02:47.140 --> 02:49.440
So all Israel went to their tents.

02:50.240 --> 02:54.540
But as for the children of Israel that
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam

02:54.540 --> 02:55.420
reigned over them.

02:56.540 --> 02:59.800
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadorim,
that was over the tribute.

03:00.520 --> 03:04.080
And the children of Israel stoned him with
stones, that he died.

03:05.220 --> 03:09.820
But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up
to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

03:10.520 --> 03:14.080
And Israel rebelled against the house of
David unto this day.

03:14.080 --> 03:14.580
