2 Chronicles 10:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ And the king answered them sharply. And King Rehoboam rejected the counsel of the ancient men,

¹⁴ and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke grievous, but I will increase it! My father chastised you with rods, but I will do so with scourges!”

¹⁵ So the king did not listen to the people. For it was the Ordinance of God that the LORD might perform His saying which He had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
