2 Chronicles 10:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Rehoboam replied, “Give me three days to consider the matter. Then come back.” So the people left.

⁶ King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had served as his father Solomon's advisers. “What answer do you advise me to give these people?” he asked.

⁷ They replied, “If you are kind to these people and try to please them by giving a considerate answer, they will always serve you loyally.”
