2 CHRONICLES 10:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.”
And they said to him, 'If you will be kind to this people and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever' — The elders advised conciliation (הַיּוֹם עִם־הָעָם הַזֶּה בַּטּוֹב וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם דְּבָרִים טוֹבִים): kindness, good words, and favorable response would secure permanent loyalty (וְהָיוּ לְךָ עֲבָדִים כָּל־הַיָּמִים). The counsel was straightforward: respond favorably to maintain support.
