'Elders' in the Bible

Then Solomon assembled to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ households of the sons of Israel, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.

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

Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, “How do you counsel me to answer this people?”

But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him.

The king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the elders.

Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
