2 Chronicles 13:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵ Don’t you realize that the Lord, the God of Israel, made a lasting covenant^[a] with David, giving him and his descendants the throne of Israel forever? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a mere servant of David’s son Solomon, rebelled against his master. ⁷ Then a whole gang of scoundrels joined him, defying Solomon’s son Rehoboam when he was young and inexperienced and could not stand up to them.
