2 Chronicles 10:5-7

World English Bible

⁵ He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.”

So the people departed. ⁶ King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?”

⁷ They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
