2 Chronicles 10:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who stood before Solomon his father while he was alive, saying, What counsel do you give me in reply to the people?

⁷ And they answered him, If you are kind to [these] people and please them and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.

⁸ But the king forsook the counsel which the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who were brought up with him and stood before him.
