2 Chronicles 11:13-17
13
The cohanim and L'vi'im from wherever they lived throughout all Isra'el made themselves available to Rechav'am.
14
The L'vi'im left their pasture lands and property and came to Y'hudah and Yerushalayim; since Yarov'am and his sons had thrown them out, not allowing them to function as cohanim for ADONAI,
15
and had appointed for himself cohanim for the high places and for the images of goat-demons and calves that he had made.
16
Those from all the tribes of Isra'el who had set their hearts on seeking ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, followed them to Yerushalayim to sacrifice to ADONAI, the God of their fathers.
17
For three years they strengthened the kingdom of Y'hudah and made Rechav'am the son of Shlomo strong, because for three years they followed the way of life of David and Shlomo.
