2 Chronicles 11:13

2 Chronicles 11:13 In-Context

11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them and provisions and wine and oil;

12 and in all the cities he put shields and spears. He fortified them greatly, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel gathered unto him out of all their borders.

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 executing the priest’s office unto the LORD.

15 And he ordained himself priests for the high places and for the demons and for the calves which he had made.
