²⁴ I will drive out nations^(A) before you and enlarge your territory,^(B) and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

²⁷ If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem,^(A) they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam.”
