And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?(2 Crónicas 10:6)

And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.(2 Crónicas 10:7)

But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.(2 Crónicas 10:8)

And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.(2 Crónicas 10:10)

For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.(2 Crónicas 10:11)

So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.(2 Crónicas 10:12)
