2 Chronicles 10:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ And King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon, his father, while he still lived, saying, “What counsel do you give, so that I may answer these people?”

⁷ And they spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak loving words to them, they will be your servants forever.”

⁸ But he rejected the counsel of the ancient men that they had given him and took counsel of the young men who were brought up with him and waited on him.
