Question source
2 Chronicles
The priests and Levites came to Judah and Jerusalem because Jeroboam and his sons cast them off from serving as priests to the LORD. The passage says Israelites who set their hearts to seek the LORD followed them to Jerusalem to sacrifice (2 Chronicles 11:13-16).
13The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
14For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest`s office to Yahweh;
15and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
16After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
