Chap. X.
note
Roboam requested by Ieroboam and the people to lighten their yoke of seruice,
6. leauing the counsel of the ancient, and folowing young counsellers,
threatneth to pre&esset;e the people. 16. wherupen manie reuolt from him.
1 And Roboam went forth into Sichem: for thither al
Israel was assembled, to make him king. note
2 Which when
Ieraboam the sonne of Nabat had heard, who was in Aegypt
(for he was fled thither from Salomon) forthwith he returned.
3 And they called him, & he came with al Israel & spake
to Roboam, saying:
4 Thy father pressed vs with a most
hard yoke, do thou command lighter thinges then thy
father, who layd vpon vs a heauie seruitude, and ease thou
a litle of the burden, that we may serue thee.
5 Who sayd:
After three daies returne ye to me. And when the people was
gone,
6 he tooke counsel with the Ancientes, which stoode
before his father Salomon, whiles he yet liued, saying: What
counsel geue you, that I may answer the people?
7 Who sayd
to him: If thou wilt please this people, and pacifie them with

Roboam.
wordes of clemencie, they wil serue thee at al times.
8 But
he forsooke the counsel of the Ancientes, and began to treat
with yongmen, that had beene brought vp with him, and
were in his trayne.
9 And he sayd to them: What semeth to
you? or what shal I answer this people, which hath sayd to
me: Ease the yoke which thy father layd vpon vs?
10 But they
answered as yongmen, and brought vp with him in delicanesse,
and sayd: Thus shalt thou speake to the people, that
sayd to thee: Thy father aggrauated our yoke, doe thou ease
it: and thus shalt thou answer them: My least finger is thicker
then the loynes of my father.
11 My father layd vpon yow an
heauie yoke, and I wil adde a greater weight: my father bette
you with scourges, but I wil beate you with scorpions.
12 Ieroboam
therfore came, and al the people to Roboam the third
day, as he had commanded them.
13 And the king answered
rough wordes, leauing the counsel of the Ancientes:
14 and
he spake according to the yongmens wil: My father layd
vpon you a heauie yoke, which I wil make heauier: my father
bette you with scourges, but I wil beate you with scorpions.
15 And he condescended not to the peoples requestes: for it
was the wil of God, that his word should be accomplished,
which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to
Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat.
16 And al the people when the
king spake rough wordes, sayd thus vnto him: We haue no
part in Dauid, nor inheritance in the sonne of Isai. Returne
into thy tabernacles รด Israel, and do thou feede thy house
Dauid. And Israel went into their tabernacles.
17 But ouer the
children of Israel, that dwelt in the cities of Iuda, Roboam
reigned.
18 And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was ouer
the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he
died: moreouer king Roboam made hast to get vp into his
chariote, and fled into Ierusalem.
19 And Israel reuolted from
the house of Dauid vntil this day.
