2 Chronicles 13:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Nebat's son Jeroboam was a servant of David's son, King Solomon. But he turned against his master. ⁷ He took some wicked useless men to join his group. They made themselves strong against Solomon's son, Rehoboam. Rehoboam was young and he had not been king for very long. So he was not strong enough to stop them.

⁸ Now you want to fight against the Lord's own kingdom that he has chosen David's descendants to rule over. You have a very large army. You bring with you the gold statues of young bulls that Jeroboam made for you as your gods.
