Priests and Levites Move to Judah

13 And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him.
14 For the Levites left atheir common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for bJeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the Lord.  
15 aThen he appointed for himself priests for the1 high places, for bthe demons, and cthe calf idols which he had made.  
16 aAnd1 after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, bcame to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.

2 Chronicles 11:14

The Levites left their suburbs - They and the priests were expelled from their offices by Jeroboam, lest they should turn the hearts of the people to the true God, and then they would revolt to Judah, I Kings 12:26; and therefore he established a new worship, and made new gods.
