2 Chronicles 10:1-5 ▼

1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

4 “Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”

5 He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed.
