1 Kings 12:7

And they said to him, If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants forever .

They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.”

And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
