2 Chronicles 10:6-8 Bible in Basic English (BBE)

6 Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

7 And they said to him, If you are kind to this people, pleasing them and saying good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.

8 But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, but went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 10

This chapter is not only in sense the same, but is expressed almost in the selfsame words as First Kings chapter twelve, verses one through nineteen, so there needs not anything to be added to the notes there, which the reader is referred to. See Gill on 1 Kings 12:1.


Verses 11-19
