2 Chronicles 10:6-8 ▼

6 while King Rehoboam conferred with his advisors who had worked with his father Solomon during his administration. He asked them, |What is your advice as to what response I should return to these people?|

7 In reply, they told him, |If you will be kind to this people, please them, and speak appropriately to them with kind words, they'll serve you forever.|

8 But Rehoboam ignored the counsel that his elder advisors had given him. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him and worked for him.
