1 Kings 12:6-8

6Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon when he was alive, asking, “How do you advise me to respond to this people?”

7They replied, “Today if you will be a servant to this people and serve them, and if you respond to them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”

8But he rejected the advice of the elders who had advised him and consulted with the young men who had grown up with him and attended him.
