2 Chronicles 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 11:13

And the priests and the Levites, that were in all Israel
In the ten tribes, in the cities assigned to them therein:

resorted to him out of all their coasts;
as to their rightful sovereign, and chiefly for the sake of the service of the sanctuary at Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 11:13 In-Context

11 He strengthened their fortifications and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.

12 He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.

13 Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.

14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and their possessions and went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD.

15 And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
