16 And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, and the people returned the answer to the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? And there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now see to your own house, O David!” And Israel departed to their tents. 17 And the sons of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18 And King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And King Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 And Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. 20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and they made him king over all Israel. There was none who followed the house of David, except the tribe of Judah alone. 1 Kings 12:16-20, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
