²¹ For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.

¹¹ So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.

³¹ And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;

¹⁶ And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.

²⁸ So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

²⁹ And he put one in Beth-el and the other in Dan.

³⁰ And this became a sin in Israel; for the people went to give worship to the one at Beth-el, and to the other at Dan.

¹¹ Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

¹⁷ The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.

¹¹ Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

¹⁵ And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made.

¹¹ And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.

¹⁵ So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

¹⁶ And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.

¹⁷ But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.

¹⁸ Then Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

¹⁹ So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.

⁸ And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

¹⁹ So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.

²⁰ Now when all Israel had news that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him to come before the meeting of the people, and made him king over Israel: not one of them was joined to the family of David but only the tribe of Judah.

²⁴ No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.

¹⁷ And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.

²¹ And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?

⁹ Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.
