2 Chronicles 10:4 In-Context

2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had gone to Egypt to escape from King Solomon, heard this news, he returned home.

3 The people of the northern tribes sent for him, and they all went together to Rehoboam and said to him,

4 "Your father placed heavy burdens on us. If you make these burdens lighter and make life easier for us, we will be your loyal subjects."

5 Rehoboam replied, "Give me three days to consider the matter. Then come back." So the people left.

6 King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had served as his father Solomon's advisers. "What answer do you advise me to give these people?" he asked.
