2 Chronicles 10:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who stood in the presence of Solomon his father when he was alive saying, “How do you counsel that I should give a response to this people?”

⁷ They said to him, “If you are good to this people and please them and speak well to them, then they will be servants to you all your days.”

⁸ But he abandoned the counsel of the elders that they gave to him. And he consulted the young men who grew up and stood before him.
