2 Chronicles 10:2-4

Amplified Bible

² When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard about the new king (for he was in ^[a]Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned from Egypt.^{(A) 3} And the people sent messengers and summoned him. So when Jeroboam and all Israel came, they spoke to Rehoboam, saying, ⁴ “Your father [King Solomon] made our yoke hard (heavy, difficult); so now lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.”
