ΚΑΙ ἦλθε Ροβοὰμ εἰς Συχέμ, ὅτι εἰς Συχὲμ ἤρχετο πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβάτ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, ὡς ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαλωμὼν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου. καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ἐκάλεσαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ροβοὰμ λέγοντες· ὁ πατήρ σου ἐσκλήρυνε τὸν ζυγὸν ἡμῶν, καὶ νῦν ἄφες ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τοῦ πατρός σου τῆς σκληρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ζυγοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ βαρέος, οὗ ἔδωκεν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς, καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορεύεσθε ἕως τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔρχεσθε πρός με· καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ λαός. καὶ συνήγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τοὺς ἑστηκότας ἐναντίον τοῦ Σαλωμὼν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ζῆν αὐτὸν λέγων· πῶς ὑμεῖς βουλεύεσθε τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ λόγον; καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· ἐὰν ἐν τῇ σήμερον γένῃ εἰς ἀγαθὸν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ καὶ εὐδοκήσῃς καὶ λαλήσῃς αὐτοῖς λόγους ἀγαθούς, καὶ ἔσονταί σοι παῖδες πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας. καὶ κατέλιπε τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, οἳ συνεβουλεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ συνεβουλεύσατο μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν συνεκτραφέντων μετ' αὐτοῦ τῶν ἑστηκότων ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ὑμεῖς βουλεύεσθε καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαι λόγον τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, οἳ ἐλάλησαν πρός με λέγοντες· ἄνες ἀπὸ τοῦ ζυγοῦ, οὗ ἔδωκεν ὁ πατήρ σου ἐφ' ἡμᾶς; καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ ἐκτραφέντα μετ' αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· οὕτως λαλήσεις τῷ λαῷ τῷ λαλήσαντι πρός σε λέγων· ὁ πατήρ σου ἐβάρυνε τὸν ζυγὸν ἡμῶν καὶ σὺ ἄφες ἀφ' ἡμῶν, οὕτως ἐρεῖς· ὁ μικρὸς δάκτυλός μου παχύτερος τῆς ὀσφύος τοῦ πατρός μου· καὶ νῦν ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ζυγῷ βαρεῖ, κἀγὼ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὸν ζυγὸν ἡμῶν, ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ἐν μάστιξι κἀγὼ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις. καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ροβοὰμ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς λέγων· ἐπιστρέψατε πρός με ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς σκληρά, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν νεωτέρων λέγων· ὁ πατήρ μου ἐβάρυνε τὸν ζυγὸν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐγὼ προσθήσω ἐπ' αὐτόν, ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ἐν μάστιξι καὶ ἐγὼ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις. καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ λαοῦ, ὅτι ἦν μεταστροφὴ παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων· ἀνέστησε Κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀχιὰ τοῦ Σηλωνίτου περὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ παντὸς Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῶν. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων· τίς ἡμῶν ἡ μερὶς ἐν Δαυὶδ καὶ κληρονομία ἐν υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί; εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου, Ἰσραήλ· νῦν βλέπε τὸν οἶκόν σου, Δαυίδ. καὶ ἐπορεύθη πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπ' αὐτῶν Ροβοάμ. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς Ροβοὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Ἀδωνιρὰμ τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ φόρου, καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ λίθοις καὶ ἀπέθανε. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ ἔσπευσε τοῦ ἀναβῆναι εἰς τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ φυγεῖν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ. καὶ ἠθέτησεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυὶδ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
