1 Kings 12:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Rehoboam answered them, ‘Go away for three days. Then come back to me.’ So the people went away.

⁶ Then King Rehoboam went to talk to the older advisors who had served his father Solomon. He asked them, ‘What answer should I give to these people?’ ⁷ The old men said to him, ‘If you agree to help these people today, they will always serve you as their king. So do what they are asking you to do.’
