2 Chronicles 11:13

2 Chronicles 11:13 In-Context

11 And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.

12 And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.

13 And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.

14 For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

15 And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made.
