Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, \u201cHow do you advise me to answer this people?\u201d And they said to him, \u201cIf you will be kind to this people and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.\u201d But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.<\/a> And he said to them, \u201cWhat do you advise that we answer this people who have said to me, \u2018Lighten the yoke that your father put upon us\u2019?\u201d And the young men who had grown up with him said to him, \u201cThus shall you speak to the people who said to you, \u2018Your father made our yoke heavy, but please lighten it for us\u2019; thus shall you say to them, \u2018My little finger is thicker than my father\u2019s loins. And now, whereas my father laid upon you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.\u2019\u00a0\u201d
