2 Chronicles 10:14 Context
12So Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the King bade, saying, Come againe to me on the third day. 13And the king answered them roughly, and king Rehoboam forsooke the counsell of the old men, 14And answered them after the aduice of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke heauy, but I will adde thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 15So the king hearkened not vnto the people, for the cause was of God, that the Lord might performe his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat. 16¶ And when all Israel sawe that the king would not hearken vnto them, the people answered the king saying, What portion haue wee in Dauid? and wee haue none inheritance in the sonne of Iesse: Euery man to your tents, O Israel: and now Dauid, see to thine owne house. So all Israel went to their tents.
