  • 2 Chr 13:5-9 : 5 Don’t you know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingship over Israel forever to David and his descendants by a covenant of salt? 6 But Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master. 7 Then worthless and reckless men gathered around him and opposed Rehoboam, son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not stand against them. 8 And now you think you can stand firm against the kingdom of the LORD in the hands of David’s descendants because you have a great multitude and golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods. 9 Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites, and appointed your own priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of what are not gods. 10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him. The priests who serve the LORD are the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites carry out their responsibilities. 11 Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set the rows of bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the golden lampstand and its lamps each evening. We are keeping the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him. 12 Now look, God is with us at our head, and His priests with their trumpets are ready to sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed. 13 But Jeroboam deployed an ambush to come from behind them, so Judah was in front and the ambushers were behind them. 14 When Judah turned, they saw that the battle was in front of them and behind them.
