1 Kings 12:8 in Context — 1 Kings 12
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.
9 E disse-lhes: Como aconselhais vós que respondamos a este povo, que me falou, dizendo: Diminui algo do jugo que teu pai pôs sobre nós?
10 Então os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele lhe responderam, dizendo: Assim falarás a este povo que te disse estas palavras: Teu pai agravou nosso jugo; mas tu diminui-nos algo: assim lhes falarás: O menor dedo dos meus é mais espesso que os lombos de meu pai.
