1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king. 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard it—he was in Egypt, because he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king—that Jeroboam returned from Egypt. 3 And they sent and called for him, and Jeroboam came, and all Israel, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 “Your father hardened our yoke, and now lighten the severe service of your father and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we will serve you.” 5 And he said to them, “After three days come back to me.” And the people departed. 2 Chronicles 10:1-5, Berean Literal Bible.
