Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke that he placed on us, and we will serve you.”
“He (Ray) said to them, ‘Go away for three days, then come again to me.’ So the people went away. Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the older men who had attended his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, ‘How do you advise me to answer this people?’ They answered him, ‘If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer The Elders them, then they will be your servants forever.’” 1 Kings 12:5–7
“The king answered the people harshly. He disregarded the advice that the older men had given him and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, ‘My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.’” The Young 1 Kings 12:13–14
