2 Chronicles 29:9-11

Authorized (King James) Version

⁹ For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. ¹⁰ Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. ¹¹ My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
