2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;) 2 And as soon as (c)Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for (d)he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), then Jeroboam returned from[a] Egypt. 2 Jeroboam son of Nebat was still in Egypt, where he had gone to escape from Solomon. When Jeroboam heard about Rehoboam being made king, he was living in Egypt. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard the news, he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon and had been living ever since. 2 Now when (C1)Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard about it, he was living in Egypt (for he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon).2 Now (C1)when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard about this, (F1)he was living in Egypt (for he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon).2 And whe Ieroboam ye sonne of Nebat heard of it (who was yet in Egypt, whither Ieroboam had fled from king Salomon, & dwelt in Egypt)2 And it happened, (C1)when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (F1)he was living in Egypt (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon).

"Lighten the harsh labor demands and heavy taxes that your father imposed on us. Then we will be your loyal subjects." 4 "Your father made our load heavy. Take away some of the hard work and heavy load your father put on us, and we will serve you." 4 "Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke that he placed on us, and we will serve you." 4 Thy father, made our yoke, grievous, - now, therefore do, thou, lighten the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, that we may serve thee.4 Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now, therefore, do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.4 "Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke upon us, and we will serve you."4 "Your father hardened our yoke, and you, now, lighten [some] of the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you."4 "(C1)Your father made our yoke hard; now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."
