'Counsel' in the Bible

But he ignored the advice which the elders gave him and consulted the young men who grew up with him and served him.

The king answered the people harshly and ignored the advice which the elders had given him,

and spoke to them in accordance with the advice of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but as for me, I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.”

So the king took counsel [and followed bad advice] and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, “It is too much for you to go [all the way] up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
