2 Chronicles 13:11

Compare all

9 ^aHave you not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of other lands, ^bso that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of ^cthings that are not gods?

10 But as for us, the Lord is our ^aGod, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.

11 ^aAnd they burn to the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; they also set the ^bshowbread in order on the pure gold table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps ^cto burn every evening; for we keep the command of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken Him.

12 Now look, God Himself is with us as our ^ahead, ^band His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the Lord God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!”

13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

14 And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; and they ^acried out to the Lord, and the priests sounded the trumpets.
