Rehoboam Rejects the Elders' Advice

1 Kings 12:13-15

And the king answereth the people sharply, and forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him,

and speaketh unto them, according to the counsel of the lads, saying, `My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I--I chastise you with scorpions;'

and the king hearkened not unto the people, for the revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word that Jehovah spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.
