2 Chronicles 11:15

The Priests And Levites Come To Jerusalem

¹⁴ For the Levites left their pasture lands, and their possessions, and came to Judah, and to Jerusalem, - for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh; ¹⁵ and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons - and for the calves which he had made. ¹⁶ And, after them - out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, God of their fathers.
