2 Chronicles 11:13 In-Context

11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and of oil and wine;

12 and in every several city, targets and spears, and made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.

13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their districts;

14 for the Levites left their suburbs and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exercising the priesthood to Jehovah;

15 and he ordained for himself priests for the high places, and for the he-goats and for the calves that he had made.
