2 CHRONICLES 10:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.”
But he rejected the advice of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him — Rehoboam rejected (וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת־עֲצַת הַזְּקֵנִים) the elders' prudent counsel and instead consulted 'the young men' (הַנְּעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־גָּדְלוּ אִתּוֹ וְהָעֹמְדִים לְפָנָיו) who had grown up with him. The shift from experienced elders to youthful confidants signaled poor judgment.
