And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Chronicles. Rehoboam rejects the elders’ advice and responds harshly. The northern tribes rebel and the kingdom is divided. The chronicler states that this division occurred according to the word of God announced through Ahijah, introducing a theological dimension that goes beyond the immediate political failure.

und redete mit ihnen nach dem Rat der Jungen und sprach: Hat mein Vater euer Joch schwer gemacht, so will ich noch mehr dazu machen: mein Vater hat euch mit Peitschen gezüchtigt, ich aber mit Skorpionen.
Y habloles conforme al consejo de los mancebos, diciendo: Mi padre agravó vuestro yugo, y yo añadiré a vuestro yugo: mi padre os castigó con azotes, y yo con escorpiones.
y les habló conforme al consejo de los jóvenes: «Haré pesado su yugo y yo le añadiré más. Mi padre los castigó con látigos, pero yo los castigaré con escorpiones».
et leur parla ainsi d'après le conseil des jeunes gens: Mon père a rendu votre joug pesant, et moi je le rendrai plus pesant; mon père vous a châtiés avec des fouets, et moi je vous châtierai avec des scorpions.
E parlò loro secondo il consiglio de’ giovani, dicendo: Mio padre vi ha posto addosso un grave giogo, ma io lo farò vie più grave; mio padre vi ha castigati con isferze, ma io vi castigherò con flagelli pungenti.
E falou-lhes conforme o conselho dos jovens, dizendo: Meu pai agravou o vosso jugo, porém eu o aumentarei mais; meu pai vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei com escorpiões.
卻照著年輕人所出的主意對他們說:「我 使你們負重軛,我必使你們負更重的軛!我父親用鞭子懲罰你們,我卻要用蠍子!」
