‏ 2 Chronicles 10:6

10:6 ^a The older men of Israel were distinguished from officials, nobles, and guardians (Judg 8:14 ^b; 1 Kgs 21:8 ^c; 2 Kgs 10:5 ^d) who had official government roles. These elders traditionally exercised considerable influence in royal decisions. When Ben-hadad, king of Aram, attacked Samaria, the elders of Samaria were decisive in rejecting his harsh terms of surrender (1 Kgs 20:7-9 ^e). Earlier, when Absalom revolted against David, the elders of Israel were influential in critical decisions (2 Sam 17:4 ^f, 15 ^g; 19:11 ^h).
