Rehoboam Rejects the Elders' Advice
1 Kings 12:13-15
13
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
14
And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15
Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
