1 Kings 12:4-6

New American Standard Bible

⁴ “^(A)Your father made our yoke hard; but now, lighten the hard labor imposed by your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.” ⁵ Then he said to them, “^(B)Depart ^[a]for three days, then return to me.” So the people departed.

⁶ And King Rehoboam ^(C)consulted with the elders who had ^[b]served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?”
