So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૧૨:૧૫
રાજાએ લોકોનું કહેવું સાંભળ્યું નહિ. કેમ કે એ બનાવ યહોવાહ તરફથી બન્યો, કે જેથી યહોવાહે પોતાનું જે વચન શીલોની અહિયાની મારફતે નબાટના દીકરા યરોબામને આપ્યું હતું તે તે સ્થાપિત કરે.
हिन्दी1 राजाओं १२:१५
इस प्रकार राजा ने प्रजा की बात नहीं मानी, इसका कारण यह है, कि जो वचन यहोवा ने शीलोवासी अहिय्याह के द्वारा नबात के पुत्र यारोबाम से कहा था, उसको पूरा करने के लिये उसने ऐसा ही ठहराया था ।

In context

13The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,

14and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”

15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.

17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
