Divrey Hayamim Bais 10:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³ And they sent and called him. So Yarov’am and kol Yisroel came and spoke to Rechav’am, saying,

⁴ Avicha made our ol (yoke) kasheh (difficult, harsh); now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous avodas Avicha, and his heavy ol (yoke i.e., taxes, see verse 18) that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

⁵ And he said unto them, Shuvu (come back, return) unto me after shloshet yamin. And HaAm departed.
