1 Kings 12:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶ Then King Rehoboam consulted with the old men that had stood before Solomon, his father, while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

⁷ And they spoke unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a slave unto this people this day and wilt serve them and answer them by speaking good words unto them, then they will be thy slaves for ever.

⁸ But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him and who stood before him.
