2 Chronicles 13:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 “Now, you people have decided to defeat the Lord’s kingdom—the kingdom that is ruled by David’s sons. You have so many people with you and you have the golden calves—the ‘gods’ that Jeroboam made for you. 9 You threw out the Lord’s priests, the descendants of Aaron. And you threw out the Levites. Then you chose your own priests, as every other nation on earth does. And now, anyone who will bring a young bull and seven rams can become a priest to serve these ‘no-gods.’
10 “But as for us, the Lord is our God. We people of Judah have not refused to obey God. We have not left him. The priests who serve the Lord are Aaron’s sons, and the Levites help the priests in their work.

New International Version
8 “And now you plan to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hands of David’s descendants.(A) You are indeed a vast army and have with you(B) the golden calves(C) that Jeroboam made to be your gods. 9 But didn’t you drive out the priests(D) of the Lord,(E) 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(F) and seven rams(G) may become a priest of what are not gods.(H)
10 “As for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests who serve the Lord are sons of Aaron, and the Levites assist them.
