| I Kings 12:4 | Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now, therefore, do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee. | Yoke, of personal service, (Calmet) first to build the temple, and afterwards to erect palaces, fortify cities, etc. The works of Mello gave the greatest discontent.
