1 Kings 12:15-17
Common English Bible
15 The king didn’t listen to the people because this turn of events came from the Lord so that he might keep the promise he delivered through Ahijah from Shiloh concerning Jeroboam, Nebat’s son. 16 When all Israel saw that the king wouldn’t listen to them, the people answered the king:
“Why should we care about David?
We have no stake in Jesse’s son!
Go back to your homes, Israel!
You better look after your own house now, David!”
Then the Israelites went back to their homes, 17 and Rehoboam ruled over only the Israelites who lived in the cities of Judah.

1 Kings 12:15-17
New International Version
15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord,(A) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah(B) the Shilonite.
16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share(C) do we have in David,
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(D)
Look after your own house, David!”
So the Israelites went home.(E) 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah,(F) Rehoboam still ruled over them.
