1 Kings 12:16-18
Common English Bible

“Why should we care about David?

Go back to your homes, Israel!
You better look after your own house now, David!”
Then the Israelites went back to their homes, 17 and Rehoboam ruled over only the Israelites who lived in the cities of Judah.
18 When King Rehoboam sent Adoram to them (he was the leader of the work gang), all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam quickly got into his chariot and fled to Jerusalem.
