2 Chronicles 13:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young, inexperienced, and unable to assert himself against them.
8 “And now you are saying you can assert yourselves against the Lord’s kingdom, which is in the hand of one of David’s sons. You are a vast number and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.[a](A) 9 Didn’t you banish the priests of Yahweh, the descendants of Aaron and the Levites, and make your own priests like the peoples of other lands do?(B) Whoever comes to ordain himself(C) with a young bull and seven rams may become a priest(D) of what are not gods.(E)

7 Some worthless scoundrels(A) gathered around him and opposed Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young and indecisive(B) and not strong enough to resist them.
8 “And now you plan to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hands of David’s descendants.(C) You are indeed a vast army and have with you(D) the golden calves(E) that Jeroboam made to be your gods. 9 But didn’t you drive out the priests(F) of the Lord,(G) the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make priests of your own as the peoples of other lands do? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull(H) and seven rams(I) may become a priest of what are not gods.(J)
