1 Kings 12:5 in Context — 1 Kings 12

3 Enviaron y llamáronle. Vino pues Jeroboam y toda la congregación de Israel, y hablaron á Roboam, diciendo:

4 Tu padre agravó nuestro yugo, mas ahora tú disminuye [algo] de la dura servidumbre de tu padre, y del yugo pesado que puso sobre nosotros, y te serviremos.

5 Y él les dijo: Idos, y de aquí á tres días volved á mí. Y el pueblo se fué.

6 Entonces el rey Roboam tomó consejo con los ancianos que habían estado delante de Salomón su padre cuando vivía, y dijo: ¿Cómo aconsejáis vosotros que responda á este pueblo?

7 Y ellos le hablaron, diciendo: Si tú fueres hoy siervo de este pueblo, y lo sirvieres, y respondiéndole buenas palabras les hablares, ellos te servirán para siempre.
