2 Chronicles 10:1-5

Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, because all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard about it (he was in Egypt where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

So they sent word and summoned him. When Jeroboam and all Israel came, they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

“Your father made our yoke hard; but now, lighten the hard labor imposed by your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.”

He said to them, “Return to me again in three days.” So the people departed.
