"And now you are saying you can assert yourselves against the Lord's kingdom in the hand of [one of] David's sons.

Didn't you banish the priests of the Lord, the descendants of Aaron and the Levites, and make your own priests like the peoples of [other] lands do? Whoever comes to ordain himself with a young bull and seven rams may become a priest of what are not gods. "But as for us, the Lord is our God.
