1 KINGS 20:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.”
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent — The elders and people refuse capitulation. The phrase shows surprising unity against external subjugation, even if the kingdom had been rent by internal apostasy.
