1 Kings 12:6-8

6And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 consultedH3289 with the oldH2205 men, who had stoodH5975 before SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet lived, sayingH559, HowH349 do ye adviseH3289 to returnH7725 answer to this peopleH5971?

7And they spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, If this dayH3117 thou wilt beH1961 a servantH5650 to this peopleH5971, and wilt serveH5647 them and answerH6030 them and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, they will beH1961 thy servantsH5650 for ever.

8But he forsook the adviceH6098 of the oldH2205 menH2205 which they had given him, and consultedH3289 with the youngH3206 menH2205, who had grownH1431 up with him, that stoodH5975 before him.
