Rehoboam

Rehoboam was Solomon's son, and when Solomon died, "Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead" (1 Kings 11:43). His father had written proverb after proverb about listening to wise counsel. But on his very first big decision as king, Rehoboam ignored the wise and listened to his friends, and the kingdom split in two.

And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
