and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying: <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>‘Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And he said unto them: ‘Come again unto me after three days.’ And the people departed. <p><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: ‘What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And they spoke unto him, saying: ‘If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And he said unto them: ‘What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: ‘Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke 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 is thicker than my father’s loins. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/10-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke;
