II Chronicles 10:16
The Scripture
(16) And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Second Chronicles 10 recounts the kingdom's division, as Rehoboam goes to Shechem to be made king and Jeroboam returns from Egypt to lead the people's request to lighten Solomon's heavy yoke. Rehoboam rejects the elders' gentle counsel and follows the young men's harsh advice, vowing to chastise the people with scorpions. Israel rebels, stones Rehoboam's taskmaster Hadoram, and drives the king to flee to Jerusalem, leaving only Judah loyal to the house of David.
