2 Chronicles 11:13
11 He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
12 He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and their possessions and went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD.
15 And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
