2 Chronicles 10:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Rehoboam said to them, “Return to me in three days.” So the people left.

⁶ King Rehoboam asked for advice from the old men^[a] who had served his father Solomon while he was alive: “How would you advise me to respond to these people?”

⁷ They said to him, “If you are good to these people and respond favorably to their request, and you speak accommodating words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
