'Elders' in the Bible

At that time Solomon assembled at Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads, the ancestral chiefs of the Israelites—in order to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up from the city of David, that is, Zion.

All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites picked up the ark.

Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon when he was alive, asking, “How do you advise me to respond to these people?”

But he rejected the advice of the elders who had advised him, and he consulted with the young men who had grown up with him, the ones serving him.

Then the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the elders’ advice

So the king sent messengers and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
