11:13 Priests and Levites go down to Yehudah

Southern kingdom

13The priests and Levites throughout all Yisrael supported Rehaveam from every part of the country. 14The Levites abandoned their property and their pastureland and moved to Yerushalem and across the rest of Yehudah, because Yaraveam and his sons rejected them from serving as priests to Yahweh. 15Instead Yaraveam established his own priests for his hilltop shrines and for the goat and calf idols that he’d made.[ref] 16As well as the priests and Levites, people from all the Israeli tribes who wanted to serve Yisrael’s god Yahweh, came to Yerushalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the god of their ancestors. 17So they strengthened the kingdom of Yehudah, and as the people followed the ways of David and Shelomoh, they strengthened Rehaveam’s rule for three years.
