2 Chronicles 10:1-5 ▼

1 And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem have all Israel come to cause him to reign.

2 And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's -- who is in Egypt because he hath fled from the face of Solomon the king -- hearing, that Jeroboam turneth back out of Egypt;

3 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam cometh in, and all Israel, and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,

4 Thy father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light somewhat of the sharp service of thy father, and of his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'

5 And he saith unto them, 'Yet three days -- then return ye unto me;' and the people go.
