← 1 Kings 12:13	1 Kings 12:14 (KJV)	1 Kings 12:15 →
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;	And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father [also] chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.	Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
