2 Chronicles 10:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people left.

⁶ There were some elders who had helped Solomon make decisions during his lifetime. So King Rehoboam asked them what he should do. He said, “How do you think I should answer these people?”

⁷ They answered, “Be kind to these people. Please them and give them a kind answer. If you do, they will serve you always.”
