And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Kings. Rehoboam first consults the elders who had served Solomon and then the young men who had grown up with him. The elders recommend serving the people and speaking kindly to them, while the young men advise increasing the burden even further. The scene contrasts two conceptions of power: authority as service or authority as a demonstration of strength. Rehoboam’s decision will be decisive for the kingdom’s future.
