And the king listened not to the people, for there was a change [of their minds] from God, saying, The Lord has confirmed his word, which he spoke by the hand of Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and [concerning] all Israel;
16 Israel mipi ho chun lengpan athu sei angaipeh louphat uchun lengpa chu adonbut nun, “Jesse chapa David koma keihon ipi chan, ipi mun kanei diu ham? Israel! Naponbuh achun David in na insung bou vesuitan,” atiuvin ahi, hitichun Israel mipi jouse chu ain lam uvah ache tauvin ahi.
for the king did not listen to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Ahinlah Judah khopi hoa cheng jing nalai Israel mite ding chun, Rehoboam in vai ahom nalaijin ahi.
But the men of Israel, even those who lived in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.

And king Roboam sent to them Adoniram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And king Roboam hasted to mount [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
