1 Kings 12:6-8

LEB(i) 6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the old men who had been serving* before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, "How are you advising me to answer this people?"* 7 They said to him, "If you will be a servant today to this people, then you will serve them; and if you answer them and speak good words to them, they will always be your servants." 8 But he rejected the advice of the old men, which they gave him, and he consulted with the youngsters who had grown up with him, who were serving* before him.
