Rehoboam Goes to Shechem

1 Kings 12:1-5

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

When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt,

and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

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

He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” The people departed.
