2 Chronicles 13:5-10

5Ought ye not to knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 the kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 for everH5769, even to him and to his sonsH1121 by a covenantH1285 of saltH4417?

6Yet JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, is risen upH6965, and hath rebelledH4775 against his lordH113.

7And there are gatheredH6908 unto him vainH7386 menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and have strengthenedH553 themselves against RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when RehoboamH7346 was youngH5288 and tenderheartedH3824H7390, and could not withstandH2388 themH6440.

8And now ye thinkH559 to withstandH2388 the kingdomH4467H6440 of YhwhH3068 in the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732; and ye be a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and there are with you goldenH2091 calvesH5695, which JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 you for godsH430.

9Have ye not cast outH5080 the priestsH3548 of YhwhH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213 you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935 to consecrateH3027H4390 himself with a youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430.1

10But as for us, YhwhH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not forsakenH5800 him; and the priestsH3548, which ministerH8334 unto YhwhH3068, are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 wait upon their businessH4399:
