2 Chronicles 13:5-10

5Do you not knowH3045 that 1the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 the ruleH4467 overH5921 IsraelH3478 foreverH5769 to DavidH1732 2and his sonsH1121 by 3a covenantH1285 of saltH4417? 6Yet 4JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, roseH6965 upH6965 and rebelledH4775 againstH5921 his 5masterH113, 7and worthlessH7386 menH376 gatheredH6908 to him, wickedH1100 menH1121, who provedH553 tooH5921 strongH553 for RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when 67he was youngH5288 and timidH7390H3824 and could not holdH2388 his ownH2388 againstH6440 them.

8“So nowH6258 you intendH559 to assertH2388 yourselves againstH6440 the kingdomH4467 of the LordH3068 8throughH3027 the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732, 9being a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 and having with you 10the goldenH2091 calvesH5695 whichH834 JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 for you as godsH430. 911Have you not drivenH5080 outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LordH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 and the LevitesH3881, and madeH6213 for yourselves priestsH3548 like the peoplesH5971 of other landsH776? WhoeverH3605 comesH935 12to consecrateH4390H3027 himselfH3027 with a bullH6499H1121H1241 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, even he may becomeH1961 a priestH3548 of things that are 13not godsH430. 10But as for us, the LordH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not abandonedH5800 Him; and the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 are ministeringH8334 to the LordH3068 as priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881 14attend to their workH4399.
