2 Chronicles 10:6 In-Context

4 "Your father forced us to work very hard. Now, make it easier for us, and don't make us work as he did. Then we will serve you."

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

6 King Rehoboam asked the older leaders who had advised Solomon during his lifetime, "How do you think I should answer these people?"

7 They answered, "Be kind to these people. If you please them and give them a kind answer, they will serve you always."

8 But Rehoboam rejected this advice. Instead, he asked the young men who had grown up with him and who served as his advisers.
