1 Kings 12:16-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king:“What share have we in David?We have no heritage in the son of Jesse.To your tents, Israel!Now look to your own house, David.”So Israel went off to their tents.

17. But Rehoboam continued to reign over the Israelites who lived in the cities of Judah.

18. King Rehoboam then sent out Adoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam then managed to mount his chariot and flee to Jerusalem.

19. And so Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
