2 Chronicles 13:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Don’t you know that the Lord God of Israel assigned the kingship over Israel to David and his descendants forever by a salt covenant?^{[a] 6} Even so, Nebat’s son Jeroboam, who used to serve David’s son Solomon, rose in rebellion against his own master! ⁷ Useless troublemakers^[b] soon gathered around him, who turned out to be too strong for Rehoboam, because he was young, timid, and unable to withstand them.
