1 Kings 12:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt.

³ And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:

⁴ Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now therefore do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
