2 Chronicles 11:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² In each and every city he placed shields and spears and made the cities very strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.

Faithful Priests and People Come to Rehoboam

¹³ The priests and Levites who were living in Israel left the land allotted to them and took their stand with Rehoboam. ¹⁴ The Levites left their pasturelands and their holdings. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had removed them from their ministry as priests of the Lord.
