Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws

And, hearing of it, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt, where he had gone in flight from Solomon, and was living there, came back to his town Zeredah, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.

But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, and went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him:

הַזְּקֵנִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַיְלָדִים֙ (הַ) ha “the”הָעֹמְדִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “[were] the”

And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us; will you make it less? say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

הַיְלָדִים֙ (הַ) ha “the”הַזֶּ֡ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

So all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come back to me the third day.

So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected.
