1 Kings 12:16

Rehoboam Responds Unwisely With Disastrous Results

¹⁵ So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected. ¹⁶ And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? to your tents, O Israel; now see to your people, David. So Israel went away to their tents. ¹⁷ (But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.)
