“And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.”
“And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. ”
“He said to them, "Depart for three days, then come back to me." The people departed.”
“And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone,”
“And he said to them, Go away for three days and then come back to me again. So the people went away.”
“And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.”
When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard the news, he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon and had been living ever since.
They sent for him, and Jeroboam and the whole Israelite assembly came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
“Your father made us work too hard. Now if you lighten the demands he made and don’t make us work as hard, we will serve you.”
He said to them,“Go away for three days, then return to me.” So the people went away.
King Rehoboam consulted with the older advisers who had served his father Solomon when he had been alive. He asked them,“How do you advise me to answer these people?”
They said to him,“Today if you will be a servant to these people and grant their request, speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants from this time forward.”
But Rehoboam rejected their advice and consulted the young advisers who served him, with whom he had grown up.
