And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Kings. The ten tribes reject the house of David and proclaim Jeroboam king over Israel. Rehoboam retains Judah and Benjamin, while an attempt to use military force to reunify the kingdom fails. The prophet Shemaiah orders the war to stop because the division comes from God. The separation of the kingdom becomes an irreversible political reality within the narrative of Kings.

Da nun ganz Israel hörte, daß Jerobeam war wiedergekommen, sandten sie hin und ließen ihn rufen zu der ganzen Gemeinde und machten ihn zum König über das ganze Israel. Und folgte niemand dem Hause David als der Stamm Juda allein.
Y aconteció, que oyendo todo Israel que Jeroboam había vuelto, enviaron y llamáronle a la congregación, e hiciéronle rey sobre todo Israel, sin quedar tribu alguna que siguiese la casa de David, sino sólo la tribu de Judá.
Cuando todo Israel oyó que Jeroboam había vuelto, enviaron a llamarlo a la asamblea y lo hicieron rey de todo Israel. Solo la tribu de Judá siguió a la casa de David.
Tout Israël ayant appris que Jéroboam était de retour, ils l'envoyèrent appeler dans l'assemblée, et ils le firent roi sur tout Israël. La tribu de Juda fut la seule qui suivit la maison de David.
E, quando tutto Israele ebbe inteso che Geroboamo era ritornato, lo mandarono a chiamare nella raunanza, e lo costituirono re sopra tutto Israele; niuna tribù seguitò la casa di Davide, fuorchè la tribù di Giuda sola.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo todo o Israel que Jeroboão tinha voltado, enviaram, e o chamaram para a congregação, e o fizeram rei sobre todo o Israel; e ninguém seguiu a casa de Davi senão somente a tribo de Judá.
以色列 眾人聽見 耶羅波安 回來了,就派人去請他到會眾那裏,立他作全 以色列 的王。除了 猶大 支派,沒有跟從 大衛 家的。
