1 Kings 12Common English Bible (CEB) How Rehoboam lost the kingdom 12 Rehoboam went to Shechem where all Israel had come to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, heard the news, he returned from Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon. 3 The people sent and called for Jeroboam, who along with the entire Israelite assembly went and said to Rehoboam, 4 “Your father made our workload very hard for us. If you will lessen the demands your father made of us and lighten the heavy workload he demanded from us, then we will serve you.” 5 He answered them, “Come back in three days.” So the people left. 6 King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon when he was alive. “What do you advise?” Rehoboam asked. “How should I respond to these people?” 7 “If you will be a servant to this people by answering them and speaking good words today,” they replied, “then they will be your servants forever.” 8 But Rehoboam ignored the advice the elders gave him and instead sought the counsel of the young advisors who had grown up with him and now served him. 9 “What do you advise?” he asked them. “How should we respond to these people who have said to me, ‘Lighten the workload your father demanded of us’?” 10 The young people who had grown up with him said to him, “This people said to you, ‘Your father made our workload heavy; lighten it for us!’ Now this is what you should say to them: ‘My baby finger is thicker than my father’s entire waist! 11 So if my father made your workload heavy, I’ll make it even heavier! If my father disciplined you with whips, I’ll do it with scorpions!’” 12 Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had specified when he said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king then answered the people harshly. He ignored the elders’ advice 14 and instead followed the young people’s advice. He said, “My father made your workload heavy, but I’ll make it even heavier! My father disciplined you with whips, but I’ll do it with scorpions!” 15 The king didn’t listen to the people because this turn of events came from the Lord so that he might keep the promise he delivered through Ahijah from Shiloh concerning Jeroboam, Nebat’s son. 16 When all Israel saw that the king wouldn’t listen to them, the people answered the king: “Why should we care about David? We have no stake in Jesse’s son! Go back to your homes, Israel! You better look after your own house now, David!” Then the Israelites went back to their homes, 17 and Rehoboam ruled over only the Israelites who lived in the cities of Judah. 18 When King Rehoboam sent Adoram to them (he was the leader of the work gang), all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam quickly got into his chariot and fled to Jerusalem. 19 Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. 20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent for him. They called him to the assembly and crowned him king of all Israel. Nothing was left to the house of David except the tribe of Judah. 21 When Rehoboam arrived at Jerusalem, he assembled the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—one hundred eighty thousand select warriors—to fight against the house of Israel and restore the kingdom for Rehoboam, Solomon’s son. 22 But God’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, 23 “Tell Judah’s King Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, and all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, 24 ‘This is what the Lord says: Don’t make war against your relatives the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, because this is my plan.’” When they heard the Lord’s words, they went back home, just as the Lord had said. Jeroboam I and the shrines 25 Jeroboam fortified Shechem at Mount Ephraim and lived there. From there he also fortified Penuel. 26 Jeroboam thought to himself, The kingdom is in danger of reverting to the house of David. 27 If these people continue to sacrifice at the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem, they will again become loyal to their master Rehoboam, Judah’s king, and they will kill me so they can return to Judah’s King Rehoboam. 28 So the king asked for advice and then made two gold calves. He said to the people, “It’s too far for you to go all the way up to Jerusalem. Look, Israel! Here are your gods who brought you out from the land of Egypt.” 29 He put one calf in Bethel, and the other he placed in Dan. 30 This act was sinful. The people went to worship before the one calf at Bethel and before the other one as far as Dan. 31 Jeroboam made shrines on the high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, but none were Levites. 32 Jeroboam set a date for a celebration on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. It was just like the celebration in Judah. He sacrificed on the altar. At Bethel he sacrificed to the calves he had made. There also he installed the priests for the shrines he had made. 33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month—the time he alone had decided—Jeroboam went up to the altar he had built in Bethel. He made a celebration for the Israelites and offered sacrifices on the altar by burning them up.

2 इतिहास 10Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) रहबामले मूर्खता पूर्ण काम गर्छन् 10 रहबाम शेकेम शहरमा गए किनभने इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू तिनलाई राजा बनाउन त्यहाँ गएका थिए। 2 यारोबाम मिश्रदेशमा थिए किनभने तिनी राजा सुलेमान देखि भागेका थिए। यारोबाम नबातका छोरा थिए। रहबाम नयाँ राजा हुँदैछन् भन्ने कुरा यारोबामले सुने। यसर्थ यारोबाम मिश्रदेशबाट फर्केर आए। 3 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यारोबामलाई तिनीहरूसित आउनु भनी बोलाए। त्यस पछि यारोबाम इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू अनि रहबाम कहाँ गए। तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “रहबाम, 4 तपाईंका पिताले हाम्रो जीवन कष्टमय बनाए। यो गह्रौ भारी बोकेको जस्तै छ। त्यो भारलाई हल्का बनाइ दिनुहोस् तब हामी तपाईंको सेवा गर्ने छौं।” 5 रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मकहाँ तीन दिन पछि फर्केर आऊ।” यसर्थ मानिसहरू फर्किए। 6 तब राजा रहबामले अग्रज मानिसहरूसित कुरा-कानी गरे जसले पहीला तिनका पिता सुलेमानका सेवा गरेका थिए। रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “ती मानिसहरूलाई के भन्ने सल्लाह तपाईंहरू मलाई दिनुहुन्छ?” 7 ती अग्रजहरूले रहबामलाई भने, “यदि तपाईं ती मानिसहरू प्रति दयालु हुनुभयो अनि तिनीहरूलाई खुशी पार्नुभयो अनि तिनीहरूलाई राम्रो कुरा भन्नुभयो भने तिनीहरूले सदा सर्वदा तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछन्।” 8 तर, रहबामले ती अग्रजहरूले तिनलाई दिएका सल्लाह स्वीकार गरेनन्। रहबामले ती युवकहरूसित कुरा-कानी गरे जो तिनी साथ बढेका थिए अनि तिनको सेवा गर्दै थिए। 9 रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू मलाई के सल्लाह दिन्छौ? ती मानिसहरूलाई हामीले कस्तो उत्तर दिनु पर्ने? तिनीहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूको काम सजिलो बनाइ दिनु भने अनि तिनीहरू चाहन्छन् कि मेरा पिताले तिनीहरू माथि लदाएको भार मैले कम गरिदिनु भनी।” 10 तब, ती युवाहरू जो रहबामसितै बढेका थिए, “तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, जुन मानिसहरूले तपाईं सित कुरा गरे तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंले यसो भन्नु पर्छ। ती मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई भने, ‘तपाईंका पिताले हाम्रो निम्ति जीवन कठिन बनाउनु भयो। त्यो गह्रौ भार बोकेको जस्तै थियो। तर हामी तपाईंले त्यो भारलाई हल्का पारिदिनु होस् भनी चाहन्छौं।’ तर रहबाम, तपाईंले यो कुरा ती मानिसहरूलाई भन्नुपर्छः तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुहोस्। ‘मेरो कान्छी औंला मेरा पिताको कम्मर भन्दा मोटो हुनेछ। 11 मेरा पिताले भारी बोझ तिमीहरूलाई लदाउनु भयो। तर म त्यो बोझालाई अझ भारी बनाइदिने छु। मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई चाबुकले दण्ड दिनु भयो। तर म तिमीहरूलाई धातुका तीखो टुप्पा भएका चाबुकले दण्ड दिने छु।’” 12 तीन दिन पछि यारोबाम अनि सबै मानिसहरू रहबाम कहाँ आए। रहबामले तिनीहरूलाई गर्नु भनेका कुरा त्यही हो, जब तिनले भने, “म कहाँ तीन दिन पछि फर्केर आऊ।” 13 तब राजा रहबामले तिनीहरूसित नीच तरिकाले कुरा गरे। राजा रहबामले अग्रजहरूका सल्लाह स्वीकार गरेनन्। 14 राजा रहबामले ती मानिसहरूसित युवाहरूले दिएको सल्लाह अनुसार कुरा गरे। तिनले भने, “मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूको बोझ भारी बनाउनु भएको थियो, तर म त्यसलाई अझ भारी बनाउने छु। मेरा पिताले तिमीहरूलाई कोर्राद्वारा दण्ड दिनु भएको थियो। तर म तिमीहरूलाई धातुका तीखा टुप्पा भएको कोर्राद्वारा दण्ड दिने छु।” 15 यसरी राजा रहबामले मानिसहरूका कुरा सुनेनन्। किनभने यो कुराहरूको परिवर्तन परमेश्वरबाट आएको थियो। परमेश्वरले यस्तो हुन दिनुभयो। यो यस्तो भयो जसमा कि परमप्रभुले उहाँको वचनलाई सत्य सावित गर्न सकून् जो उहाँले अहियाहद्वारा यारोबामलाई भन्नु भएको थियो। अहियाह शीलोका थिए अनि यारोबाम नबातका छोरा थिए। 16 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले देखे राजा रहबामले तिनीहरूका कुरा सुनेनन्। तब तिनीहरूले राजालाई भने, “के हामी दाऊदका परिवारका अंश हौं? अँहँ। हामीले यिशैका कुनै भूमि पाउने छौं? अँहँ। यसर्थ इस्राएलीहरू हो, हामी हाम्रा आफ्नै घर जाऔं। दाऊदका छोराले तिनका आफ्नै मानिसहरू माथि शासन गरोस्।” तब इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू आफ्ना घरतिर गए। 17 तर इस्राएलमा केही यस्ता मानिसहरू थिए, जो यहूदाका शहरहरूमा बस्थे। अनि रहबाम ती मानिसहरूका राजा थिए। 18 हदोराम काम गर्न कर लगाइएका मानिसहरूको जिम्मामा थियो। रहबाले तिनलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरू कहाँ पठाए। तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले हदोरामलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिदिए। तब रहबाम दगुरेर आफ्ना रथमा उफ्रिएर चढे अनि भागे। तिनी भागेर यरूशलेम गए। 19 त्यस समयदेखि अहिलेसम्म इस्राएल दाऊदका परिवारको विरूद्धमा छन्।
