2 Chronicles 10:5 In-Context
3 So the people sent for Jeroboam. He and all of the people went to Rehoboam. They said to him,
4 "Your father put a heavy load on our shoulders. But now make our hard work easier. Make the heavy load on us lighter. Then we'll serve you."
5 Rehoboam answered, "Come back to me in three days." So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam asked the elders for advice. They had served his father Solomon while he was still living. Rehoboam asked them, "What advice can you give me? How should I answer these people?"
7 They replied, "Be kind to them. Please them. Give them what they are asking for. Then they'll always serve you."
