2 Chronicles 10:1-4 ▼

1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

2 And as soon as Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), then Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

3 And they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and said to Rehoboam,

4 “Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke on us, and we will serve you.”
