* Kings often have official advisors or counselors to help them decide important matters that affect the people they are ruling.
* Sometimes the advice or counsel that is given is not good. Evil advisors may urge a king to take action or make a decree that will harm him or his people.
* Depending on the context, "advice" or "counsel" could also be translated as "help in deciding" or "warnings" or "exhortations" or "guidance."
* The action, "to counsel" could be translated as "to advise" or "to make suggestions" or "to exhort."
* Note that "counsel" is a different word than "council," which refers to a group of people.
