2 Chronicles 11:14-16

Amplified Bible

Jeroboam Appoints False Priests

¹⁴ For the Levites left their pasture lands and their property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from serving as priests to the Lord. ¹⁵ Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places, for the satyrs (goat demons) and calves (idols) which he had made.^{(A) 16} Those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the Lord God of Israel followed ^[a]them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.
