1 Kings 12:16-19
The Kingdom Divided
16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither [have we] inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
16:
17 But [as for] the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
17:
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18:
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
