1 Kings 12:8 In-Context

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.
7 They replied, "If you want to serve this people well, give a favorable answer to their request, and they will always serve you loyally."
8 But he ignored the advice of the older men and went instead to the young men who had grown up with him and who were now his advisers.
9 "What do you advise me to do?" he asked. "What shall I say to the people who are asking me to make their burdens lighter?"
10 They replied, "This is what you should tell them: "My little finger is thicker than my father's waist!'
