2 Chronicles 10:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, “Come back to me the third day.”

¹³ And the king answered them sharply. And King Rehoboam rejected the counsel of the ancient men,

¹⁴ and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke grievous, but I will increase it! My father chastised you with rods, but I will do so with scourges!”
