KJV - 1 Kings 12:15

Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

The king did not listen to the people because it was God's plan, as He had told this through Ahijah the prophet, about what would happen to Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
