6.羅波安之父所羅門在世的日子,有侍立在他面前的老年人,羅波安王和他們商議,說:「你們給我出個甚麼主意,我好回覆這民。」
Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. 「How would you advise me to answer these people?」 he asked.
7.老年人對他說:「現在王若服事這民如僕人,用好話回答他們,他們就永遠作王的僕人。」
They replied, 「If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.」
