2 Chronicles 10:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 But he left the counsel of the ancient men that they had given him, and took counsel of the young men that were brought up with him, and [a]waited on him.
9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may answer this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us, lighter?
10 And the young men that were brought up with him, spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter for us: thus shalt thou say unto them, My [b]least part shall be bigger than my father’s loins.
