Expanded Bible

⁸ But Rehoboam rejected ·this advice [^Lthe advice/counsel of the elders]. Instead, he ·asked [consulted] the young men who had grown up with him and who ·served as his advisers [served/attended him]. ⁹ Rehoboam asked them, “What is your ·advice [counsel]? How should we answer these people who said to me, ‘·Don’t make us work as hard as your father did’ [^LLighten the yoke your father put on us]?”

¹⁰ The young men who had grown up with him answered, “The people said to you, ‘Your father ·forced us to work very hard [^Lmade our yoke heavy]. Now make our work ·easier [lighter].’ You should tell them, ‘My little ·finger [^Lone] is ·bigger than my father’s legs [^Lthicker than my father’s loins/waist].
