2 Chronicles 13:8-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸“So now you intend to resist the kingdom of the Lord ^[a]through the sons of David, ^[b]being a great multitude and having with you ^(A)the golden calves which Jeroboam made for gods for you. ⁹^(B)Have you not driven out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes ^(C)to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are ^(D)no gods. ¹⁰But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the Lord as priests, and the Levites ^[c]attend to their work.
