Rehoboam Goes to Shechem

1 Kings 12:1-5

Rechav'am went to Sh'khem, where all Isra'el had come to proclaim him king.

When Yarov'am the son of N'vat heard of it - for he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from Shlomo; so Yarov'am was living in Egypt;

but they sent and summoned him - Yarov'am and the whole community of Isra'el came and said to Rechav'am,

"Your father laid a harsh yoke on us. But if you will lighten the harsh service we had to render your father and ease his heavy yoke that he put on us, we will serve you."

He said to them, "Leave me alone for three days, then come back to me." So the people left.
