1 Rehoboam went to Shechem because all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king. 2 Jeroboam (Nebat's son) was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon. When he heard [about Rehoboam], he returned from Egypt. 3 [Israel] sent for Jeroboam and invited him back. Jeroboam and all Israel went to speak to Rehoboam. They said, 4 |Your father made us carry a heavy burden. Reduce the hard work and lighten the heavy burden he put on us, and we will serve you.| 2 Chronicles 10:1-4, God's Word Translation.
