Why does it say "Asher Ye'atzuhu"?

Malbim: This was a new counsel that he did not ask about. He did not want to agree to their request; he only asked about how to dispel them.

2)

Why did he take counsel from the youths?

1.

Malbim: He thought that the elders are haughty to give counsel unlike he wants. The youths would not do so.

3)

Why does it say that they grew up with him?

1.

Malbim: They will not say that he should lower himself in front of the nation.

4)

Why does it say "ha'Omdim Lefanav"?

1.

Radak: He abandoned the counsel of the Zekenim, who stood in front of his father, and took counsel from the youths, who stand in front of him.

2.

Malbim: He made them officers and counselors in conducting the kingship. This matter is relevant also to them! In a limited kingship, also the royal officers are limited. Surely they will seek strategies to keep the kingship unlimited, for their own benefit!
