1 Reyes 12:1-4

Listen to 1 Reyes 12:1-4
1 RebeliĂłn de las tribus del norte
Roboam fue a Siquem, donde todo Israel se habĂ­a reunido para proclamarlo rey.
2 Cuando Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, se enterĂł de esto regresĂł de Egipto,
donde habĂ­a huido para escapar del rey SalomĂłn.
3 Entonces los líderes de Israel mandaron a llamar a Jeroboam, y él junto con toda la asamblea de Israel fueron a hablar con Roboam.
4 —Su padre fue un amo muy duro —le dijeron—. Alivie los trabajos tan pesados y los impuestos tan altos que su padre impuso sobre nosotros. Entonces seremos sus leales súbditos.
