Divrey Hayamim Bais 10:12-14

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹² So Yarov’am and kol HaAm came to Rechav’am on the Yom HaShelishi, as HaMelech said, Shuva (return) to me on the Yom HaShelishi.

¹³ And HaMelech answered them kashah (harshly); and HaMelech Rechav’am forsook the Atzat HaZekenim,

¹⁴ And answered them after the Atzat HaYeladim, saying, Avi made your ol (yoke) heavy, but I will add thereto; Avi chastised you with shotim (whips), but I will chastise you with akrabim (scorpions).
