2 Chronicles 10:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴and spoke to them according to the young men’s advice, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy,^[a]^(A) but I will add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, but I, with barbed whips.”

¹⁵The king did not listen to the people because the turn of events came from God,^(B) in order that the Lord might carry out his word that he had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.^(C)

¹⁶When^(D) all Israel saw^[b]^(E) that the king had not listened to them, the people answered the king:

What portion do we have in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
Israel, each to your tent;
David, look after your own house now!

So all Israel went to their tents.
