4 Ton père a rendu notre joug dur; toi maintenant, allège cette rude servitude et le joug pesant que nous a imposé ton père. Et nous te servirons.
5 Il leur dit: Allez, et revenez vers moi dans trois jours. Et le peuple s’en alla.
6 Le roi Roboam consulta les vieillards qui avaient été auprès de Salomon, son père, pendant sa vie, et il dit: Que conseillez-vous de répondre à ce peuple?
7 Et voici ce qu’ils lui dirent: Si aujourd’hui tu rends service à ce peuple, si tu leur cèdes, et si tu leur réponds par des paroles bienveillantes, ils seront pour toujours tes serviteurs.
8 Mais Roboam laissa le conseil que lui donnaient les vieillards, et il consulta les jeunes gens qui avaient grandi avec lui et qui l’entouraient.
