1 Kings 12:12

God's Word

So Jeroboam and all the people came back to Rehoboam two days later, as the king had instructed them.

See the chapter Copy

He said to them, “Leave and come back the day after tomorrow.” So the people left.

If my father put a heavy burden on you, I will add to it. If my father punished you with whips, I will punish you with scorpions.’ ”

The king answered the people harshly. He ignored the advice the older leaders gave him.
