2 Chronicles 10:13 In-Context

11 And now, whereas my father laid on you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions. ’”

12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king said, “Come to me again the third day. ”

13 And the king answered them harshly; and forsaking the counsel of the old men,

14 King Rehoboam spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions. ”

15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of affairs brought about by God that the Lord might fulfill his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
