2 Chronicles 10:16
Context
      16When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them the people answered the king, saying,
         “What portion do we have in David?
         We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
         Every man to your tents, O Israel;
         Now look after your own house, David.”
         So all Israel departed to their tents.

17But as for the sons of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the forced labor, and the sons of Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam made haste to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
