Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Jeroboam the son of Nebat was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, when he heard about the new king; so Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

³ And the people sent for him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam, saying,

⁴ Your father [King Solomon] made our yoke grievous. So now make lighter the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve you.
