2 Chronicles 10:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 [a]When all Israel realized that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king:
“What share have we in David?
We have no heritage in the son of Jesse.
Let all of you depart to your tents, O Israel!
Look now to your own house, O David!”
Then all Israel departed to their tents. 17 Therefore, Rehoboam reigned over only those Israelites who lived in the towns of Judah.
18 When King Rehoboam sent forth Hadoram, the commander in charge of the forced labor, the Israelites stoned him to death. However, King Rehoboam managed to mount his chariot and flee to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 10:16-18
New International Version
16 When all Israel(A) saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share do we have in David,(B)
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!
Look after your own house, David!”
So all the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](C) who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem.
