2 Chronicles 13:9

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord the sons of Aaron, and the Levites,.... Because they would not sacrifice to his idols, and that they might not instruct the people in the pure worship of God, and that he and his people might be free from the payment of tithes, firstfruits, &c.

and their cities fall into his hands:and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of [other] lands?
