Chronicles II 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:10

But as for us, the Lord [is] our God
The Word of the Lord, as the Targum; we know and acknowledge no other; not the calves at Dan and Bethel, nor any other idols, only the one living and true God:

and we have not forsaken him;
his laws, statutes, ordinances, and worship; for though Abijah was not a religious man, yet it seems the form of religion was kept up, and temple service was observed, in his days:

and the priests which minister unto the Lord;
by offering sacrifices, and burning incense:

are the sons of Aaron;
and they only:

and the Levites wait upon their business;
some in singing songs of praise, vocally and instrumentally, others in keeping the doors of the temple and the treasures of the house of God, and others in assisting the priests at the altar.

Chronicles II 13:10 In-Context

8 And now ye profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

9 Did ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.

10 But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses

11 they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and the shewbread on the pure table; and the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him.

12 And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
