1 Kings 12:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 When all of Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What share do we have in David?[a] There is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now look to your house, David!” Then Israel went to their[b] tents.
17 The Israelites[c] were living in the cities of Judah, and Rehoboam was reigning over them. 18 King Rehoboam sent Adoram who was over the forced labor, and all of Israel cast stones at him and he died, but King Rehoboam managed to get up on the chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

1 Kings 12:16-18
New International Version
16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share(A) do we have in David,
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(B)
Look after your own house, David!”
So the Israelites went home.(C) 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah,(D) Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](E) who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death.(F) King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem.
