2 Chronicles 10:7-9
New Life Version
7 They said to him, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.” 8 But Rehoboam would not listen to the wise words of the leaders. He spoke with the young men who grew up with him and served him. 9 He said to them, “Tell me, how do you think I should answer these people who have said to me, ‘Do not let our load be as heavy as the one your father put on us’?”

2 Chronicles 10:7-9
New International Version
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and give them a favorable answer,(A) they will always be your servants.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected(B) the advice the elders(C) gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
