Divrey Hayamim Bais 10:6-8

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁶ And HaMelech Rechav’am took counsel with the Zekenim that had stood before Sh’lomo Avi while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to HaAm HaZeh?

⁷ And they spoke unto him, saying, If thou be kind to HaAm HaZeh, and please them, and speak devarim tovim to them, they will be thy avadim kol hayamim (all the days).

⁸ But he forsook the Atzat HaZekenim they gave him, and took counsel with the yeladim that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
