2 Chronicles 10:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² When Jeroboam son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon, heard about this, he returned from Egypt, ³ and the people then sent for Jeroboam.

Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said, ⁴ “Your father made our yoke heavy. Now lighten your father’s harsh service and the heavy yoke that he laid on us, and we will serve you.”
