2 Chronicles 11:13-17
New English Translation

13 The priests and Levites who lived throughout Israel supported him, no matter where they resided.[a] 14 The Levites even left their pasturelands and their property behind and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons prohibited them from serving as the Lord’s priests. 15 Jeroboam[b] appointed his own priests to serve at the worship centers[c] and to lead in the worship of the goat idols and calf idols he had made.[d] 16 Those among all the Israelite tribes who were determined to worship the Lord God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem[e] to sacrifice to the Lord God of their ancestors.[f] 17 They supported[g] the kingdom of Judah and were loyal to[h] Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years; they followed the edicts of[i] David and Solomon for three years.

2 Chronicles 11:13-17
Common English Bible

13 The priests and the Levites from every region throughout all Israel sided with Rehoboam. 14 The Levites left their pastures and property to come to Judah and Jerusalem because Jeroboam and his sons had refused to let them serve as the Lord’s priests, 15 having appointed his own priests for the shrines and the goat and calf idols he had made. 16 People from every tribe of Israel who had made up their minds to seek the Lord, Israel’s God, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 17 They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, for three years by following the way of David and Solomon those three years.
