2 Chronicles 13:5-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Don’t you know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom of Israel to David and his descendants forever in a permanent promise? ^{[a] 6} But Jeroboam (Nebat’s son) rebelled against his master. He had been the servant of David’s son Solomon. ⁷ Worthless, good-for-nothing men gathered around him. They opposed Rehoboam, son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was too young and inexperienced to challenge them. ⁸ Do you now intend to challenge the Lord’s kingdom, which has been placed in the hands of David’s descendants? You are a large crowd, and you have the gold calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods.
