Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
16 When all Israel saw that the king had not listened to them, the people answered him:
What portion do we have in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.(A)
Israel, return to your tents;
David, now look after your own house!(B)
So Israel went to their tents, 17 but Rehoboam reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.(C)
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram,[a](D) who was in charge of forced labour, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam managed to get into the chariot and flee to Jerusalem.
