1 Kings 12 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Then King ^H4428 Rehoboam ^H7346 took ^H3289 counsel ^H3289 with the elders ^H2205 who ^H834 had ^H1961 stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 his father ^H1 Solomon ^H8010 while he was still alive ^H2416, saying ^H559, “How ^H349 do you counsel ^H3289 me to respond ^H7725 H1697 to this ^H2088 people ^H5971?”

So Jeroboam ^H3379 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 came ^H935 to Rehoboam ^H7346 on the third ^H7992 day ^H3117 as the king ^H4428 had spoken ^H1696, saying ^H559, “Return ^H7725 to me on the third ^H7992 day ^H3117.”

Then all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 saw that the king ^H4428 did not listen ^H8085 to them. So the people ^H5971 responded ^H7725 to the king ^H4428 with this word, saying ^H559,

“What ^H4100 portion ^H2506 do we have in David ^H1732?

We have no ^H3808 inheritance ^H5159 in the son ^H1121 of Jesse ^H3448;

To your tents ^H168, O Israel ^H3478!

Now ^H6258 see ^H7200 to your own house ^H1004, David ^H1732!”

So Israel ^H3478 went ^H1980 to their tents ^H168.

Now it happened ^H1961 when all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 heard ^H8085 that Jeroboam ^H3379 had returned ^H7725, that they sent ^H7971 and called ^H7121 him to the congregation ^H5712 and made ^H4427 him king ^H4427 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478. None ^H3808 but the tribe ^H7626 of Judah ^H3063 followed ^H310 the house ^H1004 of David ^H1732.

Then Rehoboam ^H7346 came ^H935 to Jerusalem ^H3389 and assembled ^H6950 all ^H3605 the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063 and the tribe ^H7626 of Benjamin ^H1144, 180,000 ^{H3967 H8084 H505} chosen ^H977 men who could wage ^H6213 war ^H4421, to fight ^H3898 against ^H5973 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 to return ^H7725 the kingdom ^H4410 to Rehoboam ^H7346 the son ^H1121 of Solomon ^H8010.

Then Jeroboam ^H3379 built ^H1129 Shechem ^H7927 in the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 of Ephraim ^H669, and lived ^H3427 [fn]there. And he went ^H3318 out ^H3318 from there ^H8033 and built ^H1129 Penuel ^H6439.
