1 Kings 12:14 in Context — 1 Kings 12

12 E ao terceiro dia veio Jeroboão com todo o povo a Roboão; segundo o rei o havia mandado, dizendo: Voltai a mim ao terceiro dia.

13 E o rei respondeu ao povo duramente, deixado o conselho dos anciãos que eles lhe haviam dado;

14 E falou-lhes conforme ao conselho dos rapazes, dizendo: Meu pai agravou vosso jugo, mas eu acrescentarei a vosso jugo; meu pai vos feriu com açoites, mas eu vos ferirei com escorpiões.

15 E não ouviu o rei ao povo; porque era ordenação do SENHOR, para confirmar sua palavra, que o SENHOR havia falado por meio de Aías silonita a Jeroboão filho de Nebate.

16 E quando todo o povo viu que o rei não lhes havia ouvido, respondeu-lhe estas palavras, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com Davi? Não temos propriedade no filho de Jessé. Israel, a tuas moradas! Provê agora em tua casa, Davi! Então Israel se foi a suas moradas.
