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.”
5	He said to them, “Come to me again in three days.” So the people went away.
6	Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?”
7	And they said to him, “If you will be good to this people and please them and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
8	But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.
9	And he said to them, “What do you advise that we answer this people who have said to me, 'Lighten the yoke that your father put on us'?”
10	And the young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Thus shall you speak to the people who said to you, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but you lighten it for us'; thus shall you say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's thighs.
11	And now, whereas my father laid on you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.'“
12	So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king said, “Come to me again the third day.”
13	And the king answered them harshly; and forsaking the counsel of the old men,
14	King Rehoboam spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.”
15	So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of affairs brought about by God that the LORD might fulfill his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16	And when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, “What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Each of you to your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David.” So all Israel went to their tents.
17	But Rehoboam reigned over the people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah.
18	Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and the people of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehoboam quickly mounted his chariot to flee to Jerusalem.
19	So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

NIV

1	Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all the Israelites had gone there to make him king.
2	When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt.
3	So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him:
4	“Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5	Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people went away.
6	Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.
7	They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.”
8	But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.
9	He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, 'Lighten the yoke your father put on us'?”
10	The young men who had grown up with him replied, “Tell the people who have said to you, 'Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter'-tell them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
11	My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.'“
12	Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.”
13	The king answered them harshly. Rejecting the advice of the elders,
14	he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.”
15	So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God, to fulfill the word the LORD had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.
16	When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What share do we have in David, what part in Jesse's son? To your tents, O Israel! Look after your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home.
17	But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18	King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram, who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem.
19	So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

NLT

1	Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had gathered to make him king.
2	When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of this, he returned from Egypt, for he had fled to Egypt to escape from King Solomon.
3	The leaders of Israel summoned him, and Jeroboam and all Israel went to speak with Rehoboam.
4	“Your father was a hard master,” they said. “Lighten the harsh labor demands and heavy taxes that your father imposed on us. Then we will be your loyal subjects.”
5	Rehoboam replied, “Come back in three days for my answer.” So the people went away.
6	Then King Rehoboam discussed the matter with the older men who had counseled his father, Solomon. “What is your advice?” he asked. “How should I answer these people?”
7	The older counselors replied, “If you are good to these people and do your best to please them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.”
8	But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers.
9	“What is your advice?” he asked them. “How should I answer these people who want me to lighten the burdens imposed by my father?”
10	The young men replied, “This is what you should tell those complainers who want a lighter burden: 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist!
11	Yes, my father laid heavy burdens on you, but I'm going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!'“
12	Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to hear Rehoboam's decision, just as the king had ordered.
13	But Rehoboam spoke harshly to them, for he rejected the advice of the older counselors
14	and followed the counsel of his younger advisers. He told the people, “My father laid heavy burdens on you, but I'm going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!”
15	So the king paid no attention to the people. This turn of events was the will of God, for it fulfilled the LORD's message to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh.
16	When all Israel realized that the king had refused to listen to them, they responded, “Down with the dynasty of David! We have no interest in the son of Jesse. Back to your homes, O Israel! Look out for your own house, O David!” So all the people of Israel returned home.
17	But Rehoboam continued to rule over the Israelites who lived in the towns of Judah.
18	King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, who was in charge of the labor force, to restore order, but the people of Israel stoned him to death. When this news reached King Rehoboam, he quickly jumped into his chariot and fled to Jerusalem.
19	And to this day the northern tribes of Israel have refused to be ruled by a descendant of David.

1	And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2	And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3	And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
4	Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5	And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6	And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7	And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8	But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9	And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
10	And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11	For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12	So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13	And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14	And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15	So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16	And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17	But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18	Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19	And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
