1 Kings 12:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “(A)My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people; (B)for it was a turn of events from the Lord, (C)that He might establish His word, which the Lord spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
The Kingdom Divided; Jeroboam Rules Israel
16 When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying,
“What portion do we have in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse;
(D)To your tents, O Israel!
Now look after your own house, David!”
So Israel departed to their tents.

1 Kings 12:14-16
New International Version
14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged(A) you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord,(B) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah(C) the Shilonite.
16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share(D) do we have in David,
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(E)
Look after your own house, David!”
So the Israelites went home.(F)
