11:011:041 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and
           his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of
           Solomon?

11:011:042 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel
           was forty years.

11:011:043 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city
           of David his father:  and Rehoboam his son reigned in his
           stead.

11:012:001 And Rehoboam went to Shechem:  for all Israel were come to
           Shechem to make him king.

11:012:002 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was
           yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence
           of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

11:012:003 That they sent and called him.  And Jeroboam and all the
           congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

11:012:004 Thy father made our yoke grievous:  now therefore make thou the
           grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he
           put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

11:012:005 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come
           again to me.  And the people departed.

11:012:006 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood
           before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do
           ye advise that I may answer this people?

11:012:007 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant
           unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer
           them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy
           servants for ever.

11:012:008 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had
           given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up
           with him, and which stood before him: 

11:012:009 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer
           this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke
           which thy father did put upon us lighter?

11:012:010 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him,
           saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto
           thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it
           lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little
           finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.

11:012:011 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I
           will add to your yoke:  my father hath chastised you with
           whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

11:012:012 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day,
           as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third
           day.
