The demand is genuine, and so is the affront when the world declines. What it asks for is to meet the world as a negotiator rather than an heir.
Rehoboam, who answered his people's plea for lighter burdens by promising heavier ones, certain the kingdom was simply his, and watched most of it walk away. The form implies a task: to ask rather than to assume.
