'Elders' in the Bible

Then Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the {families} for the {Israelites}, to Jerusalem in order to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, which [is] Zion.

And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had been {serving} before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, "What word do you advise to answer this people?"

But he forsook the advice of the elders that advised him and took counsel of the young men who had grown up with him who were {serving} before him.

And the king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the advice of the elders.

Then they sent [word] to the king, and he gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
