4. What do young people who grew up with Rehoboam advocate?

But the king did not listen to the old man's advice, so he consulted with the young men who grew up with him and stood before the king, saying, This people said to me, Your father put a heavy yoke on us, please make it easier for us. What idea do you give me so that I can reply to them? The young man who grew up with him said, "This people said to the king,' Your father put a heavy yoke on us, please make it easier for us. 』。 The king will say to them: My little finger is thicker than my father's waist. My father made your yoke heavy, but I will make your yoke heavier. My father whipped you, and I will whip you with a scorpion whip. Jeroboam and all the people came on the third day, as King Rehoboam said, "Come to me again on the third day.". . The king ignored the advice of the elderly and followed the advice of the young, saying to the people, "My father put a heavy yoke on you, but I will put a heavier yoke on you.". My father whipped you, and I will whip you with a scorpion whip. Although Rehoboam asked his servant, he refused to listen. If he thinks carefully, he will find that the advice of his elders is much wiser than that of his peers. To measure other people's suggestions depends on whether they are practical; Let's see if the adopted results are fair and whether the situation has been positively improved. Rehoboam, whose newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, has never tasted the suffering of the people. Of course, it is not easy to accept the appeasement strategy of the old people, so he turned to discuss with a group of "childhood friends" brothers. Young people are always young and inexperienced. They even put forward an iron fist policy to govern the people, increase their burden and let them know the power of the king. However, I didn't know that it was this arrogant remark that made him lose half of his country when he first sat on the throne. Today we will analyze "the arrogance of Rehoboam". Why is Rehoboam arrogant? As we all know, the reign of Solomon was the heyday of Israel, even surpassing David's achievements. Whether it is economy, military strength, or people's life, etc. Of course, during Solomon's reign, due to large-scale construction and extravagance, the people's taxes were heavier. But generally speaking, people live and work in peace and contentment. This was the envy of neighboring countries at that time. Solomon's wisdom was world-famous, so it can be said that it was "all nations came to Korea" at that time. Listen to the wisdom of King Solomon. But at the beginning of Rehoboam's accession to the throne, it can be said that there was no political achievement at all. In front of everyone, he boasted, "My little finger is thicker than my father's waist." Because the reasonable demands of the people were not answered, ten tribes finally joined forces to rebel and split, and Jeroboam took a big advantage. Then why is Rehoboam so brainless? As long as you are not stupid, everyone knows that you should appease the people at the beginning of your reign! Why did he say something that angered the people and made them rebel?
