KJV - 1 Kings 12:8

But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

But he ignored the advice of the older people, who had told him, and talked to the younger people who grew up together with him, and were always by his side.
