2 Chronicles 10:13 In-Context

11 Now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.

12 So Yarov`am and all the people came to Rechav`am the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.

13 The king answered them roughly; and king Rechav`am forsook the counsel of the old men,

14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.

15 So the king didn't listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Achiyah the Shiloni to Yarov`am the son of Nevat.
