King Rechabeam consults the elders who had still assisted his father Solomon, after the Israelites asked him to lighten their yoke. The elders advise him to be benevolent to the people, but Rechabeam ignores their advice. Left in the background, he then consults the young men with whom he grew up. They advise him not to accede to the people's request and to make their yoke heavier.
