@ And
king
Rehoboam
consulted
with the old
men
, that
stood
before
Solomon
his
father
while he yet
lived
, and
said
, How do ye
advise
that I
may
answer
this
people
?
strkjv@1Kings:12:7
@ And they
spake
unto him,
saying
, If thou wilt be a
servant
unto this
people
this
day
, and wilt
serve
them, and
answer
them, and
speak
good
words
to them, then they will be thy
servants
for
ever
.

@ But he
forsook
the
counsel
of the old
men
, which they had
given
him, and
consulted
with the young
men
that were grown
up
with him, and which
stood
before
him:
strkjv@1Kings:12:9
@ And he
said
unto them, What counsel
give
ye that we
may
answer
this
people
, who have
spoken
to me,
saying
,
Make
the
yoke
which thy
father
did
put
upon us
lighter
?
strkjv@1Kings:12:10
@ And the young
men
that were grown
up
with him
spake
unto him,
saying
, Thus shalt thou
speak
unto this
people
that
spake
unto thee,
saying
, Thy
father
made
our
yoke
heavy
, but make thou it
lighter
unto us; thus shalt thou
say
unto them, My
little
finger shall be
thicker
than my
fathers
loins
.
strkjv@1Kings:12:11
@ And now whereas my
father
did
lade
you with a
heavy
yoke
, I will
add
to your
yoke
: my
father
hath
chastised
you with
whips
, but I will
chastise
you with
scorpions
.
