1 Kings 12:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke grievous, and I will make your yoke more grievous: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
15 And the king hearkened not unto the people: for it was the [a]ordinance of the Lord, that he might perform his saying, which the Lord had spoken by (A)Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 So when all Israel saw that the king regarded them not, the people answered the king thus, saying, What portion have we in [b]David? we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
