And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?

Verse 9 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Chronicles. Rehoboam first consults the elders who had served Solomon, who advise him to respond to the people with service and favorable words. He then consults the young men who had grown up with him, who recommend increasing the burden. The contrast presents two models of authority: leadership through service or the assertion of power through harshness.

Y díjoles: ¿Qué aconsejáis vosotros que respondamos a este pueblo, que me ha hablado, diciendo: Alivia algo del yugo que tu padre puso sobre nosotros?
Il leur dit: Que conseillez-vous de répondre à ce peuple qui me tient ce langage: Allège le joug que nous a imposé ton père?
e disse loro: Che consigliate voi che rispondiamo a questo popolo, il qual m’ha parlato, dicendo: Alleviaci dal giogo che tuo padre ha posto sopra noi?
E disse-lhes: Que aconselhais vós, que respondamos a este povo, que me falou, dizendo: Alivia o jugo que teu pai nos impôs?
他對他們說:「這百姓對我說:『你父親使我們負重軛,求你減輕一些。』你們出個甚麼主意,我們好把話帶回給他們。」
