[:en]When Rehoboam became king of Israel, the people came to him and petitioned for reduction of harsh labor and heavy yoke. Rehoboam had 2 sets of advisers: One group of elders who had served his father advised him to give them a favorable answer so that the people will serve him and always be his servants. The other group was a group of young men who had grown up with him advised him to give them a heavier yoke than that of his father. Rehoboam ignored the elder’s advice and listened to the young men’s advice. As a result the kingdom was divided. Ten tribes separated from him while only the tribe of Judah and Benjamin remained with him.
*Be careful to choose your adviser because their advices will either make you or break you*[:]
