1 Kings 12:18 in Context — 1 Kings 12

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.

17 Mas reinou Roboão sobre os filhos de Israel que moravam nas cidades de Judá.

18 E o rei Roboão enviou a Adorão, que estava sobre os tributos; mas apedrejou-lhe todo Israel, e morreu. Então o rei Roboão se esforçou a subir em um carro, e fugir a Jerusalém.

19 Assim se separou Israel da casa de Davi até hoje.

20 E aconteceu que, ouvindo todo Israel que Jeroboão havia voltado, enviaram e chamaram-lhe à congregação, e fizeram-lhe rei sobre todo Israel, sem restar tribo alguma que seguisse a casa de Davi, a não ser somente a tribo de Judá.
