6 Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the older men who had attended his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?”

7 They answered him, “If you will be kind to this people and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”

8 But he rejected the advice that the older men gave him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and now attended him.
