# Rehoboam ignored the advice

"Rehoboam did not follow the advice"

# who had grown up with him, who stood before him

"who were his long-time friends, and who advised him"

# Lighten the yoke that your father put on us

To "lighten the yoke" is a metaphor that represents easing the burden. See how you translated a similar phrase in [2 Chronicles 10:4](./03.md). AT: "Do not treat us as cruelly as your father did" or "Do not force us to work as hard as your father did" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
