1 Kings 12:6 in Context — 1 Kings 12
4 Teu pai agravou nosso jugo, mas agora tu diminui algo da dura servidão de teu pai, e do jugo pesado que ele pôs sobre nós, e te serviremos.
5 E ele lhes disse: Ide, e daqui a três dias voltai a mim. E o povo se foi.
6 Então o rei Roboão tomou conselho com os anciãos que haviam estado diante de Salomão seu pai quando vivia, e disse: Como aconselhais vós que responda a este povo?
7 E eles lhe falaram, dizendo: Se tu fores hoje servo deste povo, e o servires, e respondendo-lhe boas palavras lhes falares, eles te servirão para sempre.
8 Mas ele, deixado o conselho dos anciãos que eles lhe haviam dado, tomou conselho com os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, e estavam diante dele.
