1 Kings 12:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ So the people sent for him.

Then Jeroboam and the entire assembly of Israel came and said to Rehoboam, ⁴ “Your father made our yoke heavy. Now lighten your father’s harsh service and the heavy yoke he laid on us, and we will serve you.”

⁵ Rehoboam said to them, “Leave me for three days and then return to me.” So the people left.
