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.
17 So they astrengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
The Family of Rehoboam
18 Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of aEliah the son of Jesse.
