In 2 Chronicles 10 Rehoboam had a big decision to make. He knew it was a big decision as he asked for 3 days to think about the answer. He was a young king. This would set the stage for his reign. How would he treat the people? He consulted the elders who served with his (wise) father. They said be kind to the people. He consulted his friends, also young men. The young men saw it as a power trip- to show how strong a king he was. That he would not listen to the people. That he would make their lives harder. It was his friends he listened to. Probably their advice appealed to his ego more. The result was that the people revolted.
Key decisions need wisdom.
