"The king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the king answered the people roughly,.... In a blustering manner, gave them hard words and severe menaces, being worked up to such a spirit by his young counsellors: and
forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him: to give them good words and kind promises.
