Jubilee Bible 2000

² And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, heard it, who was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon, the king, Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

³ And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

⁴ Thy father made our yoke grievous; now, therefore, ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
