2 Chronicles 13:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ “So now you think you’ll be able to withstand the Lord’s kingdom as controlled by David’s descendants, just because you have a large crown and have brought with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods. ⁹ Haven’t you already driven away the Lord’s priests, the descendants of Aaron and the descendants of Levi? Haven’t you established your own priests like the people of other^[a] lands?

¹⁰ “Now as far as we’re concerned, the Lord is our God, and we haven’t abandoned him. The descendants of Aaron are ministering to the Lord as priests, and the descendants of Levi continue their work.
