³  and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

⁴  Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

⁵  And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

⁶  And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?

⁷  And they spoke to him saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them and answer them and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
