2 Chronicles 10:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ “Your father was a hard master,” they said. “Be easier on us than he was, and we will let you be our king!”

⁵ Rehoboam told them to return in three days for his decision. ⁶ He discussed their demand with the old men who had counseled his father Solomon.

“What shall I tell them?” he asked.
