Context
12Siku tatu baadaye, Yeroboamu na watu wote wakamrudia Rehoboamu, kama mfalme alivyokuwa amesema, “Rudini kwangu baada ya siku tatu.” 13Mfalme akawajibu watu kwa ukatili. Akikataa shauri alilopewa na wazee, 14akafuata shauri la vijana wa rika lake na kusema, “Baba yangu alifanya nira yenu kuwa nzito, mimi nitaifanya kuwa nzito zaidi. Baba yangu aliwachapa kwa mijeledi, mimi nitawachapa kwa nge.” 15Kwa hiyo mfalme hakuwasikiliza watu, kwa kuwa jambo hili lilitoka kwa Bwana, ili kutimiza neno ambalo Bwana alikuwa amenena kwa Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati kupitia Ahiya Mshiloni. 16Israeli wote walipoona kuwa mfalme amekataa kuwasikiliza, wakamjibu mfalme:
“Tuna fungu gani kwa Daudi?
Sisi hatuna urithi kwa mwana wa Yese.
Nendeni kwenye mahema yenu, ee Israeli!
Angalia nyumba yako mwenyewe, ee Daudi!”
Hivyo Waisraeli wakaenda kwenye mahema yao.
