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

2 Chronicles 11:13 In-Context

11 He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and oil and wine.

12 In every city [he put] shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. Yehudah and Binyamin belonged to him.

13 The Kohanim and the Levites who were in all Yisra'el resorted to him out of all their border.

14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Yehudah and Yerushalayim: for Yarov`am and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the Kohen's office to the LORD;

15 and he appointed him Kohanim for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
