2 Chronicles 10:8 in Context — 2 Chronicles 10

6 Então o rei Roboão tomou conselho com os anciãos, que haviam estado diante de Salomão seu pai quando vivia, e disse-lhes: Como aconselhais vós que responda a este povo?

7 E eles lhe falaram, dizendo: Se te conduzires humanamente com este povo, e os agradares, e lhes falares boas palavras, eles te servirão perpetuamente.

8 Mas ele, deixando o conselho que lhe deram os anciãos, tomou conselho com os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, e que diante dele assistiam;

9 E disse-lhes: Que aconselhais vós que respondamos a este povo, que me falou, dizendo: Alivia algo do jugo que teu pai pôs sobre nós?

10 Então os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, lhe falaram, dizendo: Assim dirás ao povo que te falou dizendo, Teu pai agravou nosso jugo, mas tu livra-nos da carga: assim lhes dirás: O meu dedo mínimo é mais espesso que os lombos de meu pai.
