MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And King Rehoboam talked with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he still lived, and said, How do you advise to return a word to this people? ⁷ And they spoke to him, saying, If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever. ⁸ But he left the counsel of the old men which they had advised him, and talked with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
