King Rehoboam takes counsel with the old men, abandons their counsel, and takes counsel with the young men who had grown up with him
르호보암왕이 노인들과 의논하고 그 교도를 버린 뒤 함께 자라난 소년들과 의논함
1 Kings 12:6–11: King Rehoboam takes counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these people?” They reply, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.” But he abandons the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and takes counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. He says to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?” The young men who had grown up with him say to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’” The Korean Revised Version names the king (왕이) at 12:8, where WEB says “he”, and runs on from 12:8 with no subject at 12:9, where WEB says “He said to them”.
