Ɛberɛ a Nebat babarima Yeroboam tee Salomo wuo no, ɔfiri Misraim baeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdwane firii Salomo anim kɔɔ Misraim.

Israel mpanimfoɔ soma maa wɔkɔfaa Yeroboam, na ɔne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ sɛ wɔne Rehoboam rekɔkasa.

Wɔkaa sɛ, “Wʼagya hyɛɛ yɛn ma yɛyɛɛ adwumaden. Yɛsrɛ wo, te saa adwumaden ne apeatoɔ adesoa duruduru a wʼagya de soaa yɛn no so. Woyɛ saa a, yɛbɛsom wo nokorɛ mu.”
