2 Chronicles 13:5-10
5Do you notH3808 knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, has givenH5414 the kingshipH4467 ofH5921 IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 and his descendantsH1121 foreverH5769 by a covenantH1285 of saltH44171? 6Yet JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028, a servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 sonH1121 of DavidH1732, rose upH6965 and rebelledH4775 againstH5921 his masterH113. 7Then worthlessH7386 and wickedH1100 menH1121 gatheredH6908 around himH5921H582 to resistH553H5921 RehoboamH7346 sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 whenH7346 he wasH1961 youngH5288, inexperiencedH7390H3824, and unableH3808 to resistH2388 themH6440.
8And nowH6258 youH859 thinkH559 you can resistH2388H6440 the kingdomH4467 of the LORDH3068, which is in the handsH3027 of David’sH1732 descendantsH1121. YouH859 are indeed a vastH7227 armyH1995, and you have with youH5973 the goldenH2091 calvesH5695 thatH834 JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 for you as godsH430. 9But did you notH3808 drive outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881? And did you not makeH6213 priestsH3548 for yourselves as do the peoplesH5971 of other landsH776? Now whoeverH3605 comesH935 to consecrateH4390 himselfH3027 with a young bullH6499H1121H1241 and sevenH7651 ramsH352 can becomeH1961 a priestH3548 of things that are notH3808 godsH430.
10But as for usH587, the LORDH3068 is our GodH430. We have notH3808 forsaken HimH5800; the priestsH3548 who ministerH8334 to the LORDH3068 are sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 attend to their dutiesH4399.
