2 Chronicles 13:5-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Don’t you know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingship over Israel to David and his descendants forever^(A) by a covenant of salt?^{(B) 6} But Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.^{(C) 7} Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young, inexperienced, and unable to assert himself against them.

⁸ “And now you are saying you can assert yourselves against the Lord’s kingdom, which is in the hand of one of David’s sons. You are a vast number and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.^[a](D)
