Priests and Levites go down to Yehudah

2 Chr 11:13–17

11:13 Priests and Levites go down to Yehudah

Southern kingdom

13 The priests and Levites throughout all of Yisrael (Israel) supported Rehav’am (Rehoboam) from every part of the country. 14 The Levites abandoned their property and their pastureland and moved to Yerushalem (Jerusalem) and across the rest of Yehudah (Judah), because Yarov’am (Jeroboam) and his sons stopped them from serving as Yahweh’s priests. 15 Instead Yarov’am established his own priests for his hilltop shrines and for the goat and calf idols that he’d made.[ref] 16 As 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, their ancestors’ god. 17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Yehudah, and as the people followed David’s and Shelomoh’s (Solomon) examples, they strengthened Rehav’am’s rule for three years.
