2 Chronicles 10:6-8 ▼

6 And then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?”

7 They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to this people and please them and speak pleasant words to them, then they will be your servants always.”

8 But he ignored the advice of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
