and Jeroboam, and all the congregation of Israel, came; the chief men of them, the heads of the people; these, with Jeroboam at the head of them, who was come out of Egypt, came to Shechem, where Rehoboam was, and they had appointed to meet him:
and spake unto Rehoboam; one in the name of them all, perhaps Jeroboam:
saying; as follows.
