13 And the king will answer them hard; and king Rehoboam will forsake the counsel of the old men. 14 And he will speak to them according to the counsel of the children, saying, My father made heavy your yoke, and I will add upon it: my father corrected you with whips, and I with scorpions. 15 And the king heard not to the people, for the turn was of God, so that Jehovah raised up his word which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 16 And all Israel saw that the king heard not to them, and the people will turn back to the king, saying, What portion to us in David? And no inheritance in the son of Jesse: each to thy tents, O Israel: now see thy house, O David. And all Israel will go to his tents. 17 And the sons of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah, and Rehoboam will reign over them. 18 And king Rehoboam will send Hadoram who was over the tribute; and the sons of Israel will stone upon him, and he will die. And king Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 And Israel will break with the house of David even to this day. 2 Chronicles 10:13-19, Smith's Literal Translation.
