2 Chronicles 10:7-9

Names of God Bible

⁷ They told him, “If you are good to these people and try to please them by speaking gently to them, then they will always be your servants.”

⁸ But he ignored the advice the older leaders gave him. He sought advice from the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. ⁹ He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we respond to these people who are asking me to lighten the burden my father put on them?”
