1 Kings 12:13Catholic Public Domain VersionAnd the king responded to the people harshly, leaving behind the counsel of the elders that they had given to him. See the chapter |
And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: "I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?" But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.
