¹⁰ His younger advisors said:

Here's what we think you should say to them: “Compared to me, my father was weak.^{[a] 11} He made you work hard, but I'll make you work even harder. He punished you with whips, but I'll use whips with pieces of sharp metal!”

¹² Three days later, Jeroboam and the others came back.
