Rehoboam Goes to Shechem

1 Kings 12:1-5

And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem hath all Israel come to make him king.

And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's hearing (and he is yet in Egypt where he hath fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelleth in Egypt),

that they send and call for him; and they come--Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel--and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,

`Thy father made hard our yoke, and thou, now, make light some of the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'

And he saith unto them, `Go--yet three days, and come back unto me;' and the people go.
