2 Chronicles 10:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ The king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the old men.

¹⁴ Instead, he spoke to them as the young men had advised: “My father made your yoke heavy. I will add to it. My father punished you with whips. I will punish you with scorpions.”

¹⁵ The king did not listen to the people, because this turn of events was from God, so that the Lord would keep his word, as he had spoken it to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah from Shiloh.
