2 Chronicles 10:5 In-Context

3 So they summoned him. Then Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam:

4 "Your father made our yoke harsh. Therefore, lighten your father's harsh service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you."

5 Rehoboam replied, "Return to me in three days." So the people left.

6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon when he was alive, asking, "How do you advise me to respond to this people?"

7 They replied, "If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever."
