10 Re·ho·boʹam went to Sheʹchem,+ for all Israel had come to Sheʹchem to make him king.+ 2 As soon as Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat heard of it (he was still in Egypt because he had fled on account of King Solʹo·mon),+ Jer·o·boʹam came back from Egypt. 3 Then they sent for him, and Jer·o·boʹam and all Israel came to Re·ho·boʹam and said: 4 “Your father made our yoke harsh.+ But if you make the harsh service of your father easier and you lighten the heavy* yoke he put on us, we will serve you.”
