Context of 2 Chronicles 10:12

10Rehoboam's young advisors said, ‘The people said to you, “Your father made us work too hard. Please make our work easier.” You should tell them, “Even my little finger is thicker than my father's whole body! 11My father made you work hard. I will make you work even harder! My father punished you with little whips. I will punish you with whips that bite your skin!” ’ Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam after three days. That was because the king had said, ‘Return to me in three days.’ 13King Rehoboam spoke cruel words to the people. He did not agree to say what the older men had told him to say. 14Instead, he did what the young men had suggested. He said to the people, ‘My father gave you work that was too hard for you. I will make it even worse! My father punished you with little whips. I will punish you with whips that bite!’
