2 Chronicles 10:2-4

International Standard Version

² Nebat’s son Jeroboam heard about it in Egypt, where he had fled to get away from Solomon the king. Jeroboam returned from Egypt ³ after being summoned. When Jeroboam and all of Israel arrived, they spoke to Rehoboam, ⁴ “Your father made our burdens unbearable.^[a] Therefore you must lighten your father’s requirements and his heavy burden that he placed on us, and we’ll serve you.”
