1 Kings 12:12

Good News Translation

Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to King Rehoboam, as he had instructed them.

See the chapter Copy

Tell them, ‘My father placed heavy burdens on you; I will make them even heavier. He beat you with whips; I'll flog you with bullwhips!’”

The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the people,

“Come back in three days and I will give you my answer,” he replied. So they left.
