Open this scene in the reader →13And the king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the elders.
14He spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “I will make your yoke heavier, and I will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I with scorpions.”
15So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God, so that Yahweh might establish his word that he had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
