1 The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to crown Rehoboam, by Jeroboam make a suit of relaxation unto him.6 Rehoboam, refusing the old men's counsel, answers them roughly.16 Ten tribes revolting, kill Adoram, and make Rehoboam flee.21 Rehoboam, raising an army, is forbidden by Shemaiah.25 Jeroboam strengthens himself by cities;26 and by the idolatry of the two calves.
