11:012:013 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old
           men’s counsel that they gave him;

11:012:014 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying,
           My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: 
           my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise
           you with scorpions.

11:012:015 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the
           cause was from the lord, that he might perform his saying,
           which the lord spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the
           son of Nebat.

11:012:016 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them,
           the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in
           David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse:  to
           your tents, O Israel:  now see to thine own house, David.  So
           Israel departed unto their tents.

11:012:017 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of
           Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

11:012:018 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and
           all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died.  Therefore
           king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee
           to Jerusalem.

11:012:019 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

11:012:020 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was
           come again, that they sent and called him unto the
           congregation, and made him king over all Israel:  there was
           none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah
           only.

11:012:021 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the
           house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and
           fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight
           against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to
           Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

11:012:022 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

11:012:023 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and
           unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant
           of the people, saying,

11:012:024 Thus saith the lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against
           your brethren the children of Israel:  return every man to his
           house; for this thing is from me.  They hearkened therefore to
           the word of the lord, and returned to depart, according to the
           word of the lord.

11:012:025 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt
           therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
