KJV - 1 Kings 16:2

Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

Because I lifted you up from the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel, but you have followed Jeroboam's ways and led my people to sin, causing me to be angry with their wrongdoings.
