Divrey Hayamim Bais 10:13-15

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹³ And HaMelech answered them kashah (harshly); and HaMelech Rechav’am forsook the Atzat HaZekenim,

¹⁴ And answered them after the Atzat HaYeladim, saying, Avi made your ol (yoke) heavy, but I will add thereto; Avi chastised you with shotim (whips), but I will chastise you with akrabim (scorpions).

¹⁵ So HaMelech paid heed not unto HaAm, for the nesibah (turn of events, circumstance) was of HaElohim, that Hashem might perform His Devar, which He spoke by the yad Achiyah HaShiloni to Yarov’am ben Nevat. [1Kgs 11:29-39]
