- "Wherefore I perceiveª° that¹ [there is] nothing¹ better,ª than that¹¹ a manª should rejoiceª° in his own works;ª for¹ that¹ [is] his portion:ª for¹ who¹ shall bringª° him to seeª° what shall be¹¹¹ afterª him?" {Ecc 3:22} + "And spakeª° to¹ them after the counselª of the young men,ª saying,ª° My fatherª made²°¹ your yokeª heavy,ª° and I¹ will addª° to¹ your yoke:ª my fatherª [also] chastisedª° you with whips,ª but I¹ will chastiseª° you with scorpions.ª ... And it came to pass,¹ when all¹ Israelª heardª° that¹ Jeroboamª was come again,ª° that they sentª° and calledª° him unto¹ the congregation,ª and made him kingª°¹ over¹ all¹ Israel:ª there was¹ none¹ that followedª the houseª of David,ª butª the tribeª of Judahª only.¹" {1Kg 12:14-20} + "And it came to pass¹ in the fifthª yearª of kingª Rehoboam,ª [that] Shishakª kingª of Egyptª came upª° against¹ Jerusalem:ª ... And it was¹ [so], whenª¹ the kingª wentª° into the houseª of the LORD,ª that the guardª° bareª° them, and brought them backª° into¹ the guardª° chamber.ª" {1Kg 14:25-28} + "And the kingª answeredª° them roughly;ª and kingª Rehoboamª forsookª°¹ the counselª of the old men,ª ... And when all¹ Israelª [saw]²° that¹ the kingª would not¹ hearkenª° unto them, the peopleª answeredª°¹ the king,ª saying,ª° What¹ portionª have we in David?ª and [we have] none¹ inheritanceª in the sonª of Jesse:ª every manª to your tents,ª O Israel:ª [and] now,¹ David,ª seeª° to thine own house.ª So all¹ Israelª went²°¹ to their tents.ª" {2Ch 10:13-16} + "So Shishakª kingª of Egyptª came upª° against¹ Jerusalem,ª and took awayª°¹ the treasuresª of the houseª of the LORD,ª and the treasuresª of the king'sª house;ª he tookª°¹ all:¹ he carried awayª°¹ also the shieldsª of goldª which¹ Solomonª had made.ª° ... Instead of¹ which kingª Rehoboamª madeª° shieldsª of brass,ª and committedª° [them] to¹ the handsª of the chiefª of the guard,ª° that keptª° the entranceª of the king'sª house.ª" {2Ch 12:9-10}
