પણ રહાબામે વૃદ્ધ પુરુષોની આપેલી સલાહનો ઇનકાર કર્યો. અને જે યુવાનો તેની સાથે મોટા થયા હતા, જે તેની હજૂરમાં ઊભા રહેતા હતા, તેઓની સલાહ પૂછી.

In context

6King 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 to answer these people?”

7They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”

8But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
