2 Chronicles 10:13-15

Darby Translation

¹³ And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,

¹⁴ and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but *I* [will chastise you] with scorpions.

¹⁵ So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
