2 Chronicles 10:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Rehoboam replied, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.

⁶ King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who stood before Solomon his father while he was alive, saying, What counsel do you give me in reply to the people?

⁷ And they answered him, If you are kind to [these] people and please them and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.
