heard

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:4
@ Thy

grievous

ease
thou somewhat the
grievous

serve
thee.

took
counsel

saying

What
counsel
give
ye me to
return
answer

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:7
@ And they
spake
unto him,
saying

speak
good
words

servants
for
ever

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:8
@ But he
forsook
the
counsel

counsel

stood
before

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:9
@ And he
said
unto them, What

answer

spoken

Ease
somewhat the

did
put

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:10

spake
unto him,

answer

spake
unto thee,
saying

made
our
yoke
heavy

lighter
for us; thus shalt thou
say
unto them, My
little
finger shall be
thicker

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:11

you with

add
thereto: my

chastised
you with
whips

strkjv@2Chronicles:10:15
@ So the
king
hearkened
not unto the
people
: for the
cause
was of
God
, that the
LORD
might
perform
his
word

spake
by the
hand
of
Ahijah

Shilonite
to

to your
