2 Chronicles 13:9 in Context — 2 Chronicles 13

7 Des gens de rien, des hommes pervers, se sont rassemblés auprès de lui et l’ont emporté sur Roboam, fils de Salomon. Roboam était jeune et craintif, et il manqua de force devant eux.

8 Et maintenant, vous pensez triompher du royaume de l’Éternel, qui est entre les mains des fils de David; et vous êtes une multitude nombreuse, et vous avez avec vous les veaux d’or que Jéroboam vous a faits pour dieux.

9 N’avez-vous pas repoussé les sacrificateurs de l’Éternel, les fils d’Aaron et les Lévites, et ne vous êtes-vous pas fait des sacrificateurs, comme les peuples des autres pays? Quiconque venait avec un jeune taureau et sept béliers, afin d’être consacré, devenait sacrificateur de ce qui n’est point Dieu.

10 Mais pour nous, l’Éternel est notre Dieu, et nous ne l’avons point abandonné, les sacrificateurs au service de l’Éternel sont fils d’Aaron, et les Lévites remplissent leurs fonctions.

11 Nous offrons chaque matin et chaque soir des holocaustes à l’Éternel, nous brûlons le parfum odoriférant, nous mettons les pains de proposition sur la table pure, et nous allumons chaque soir le chandelier d’or et ses lampes; car nous observons les commandements de l’Éternel, notre Dieu. Et vous, vous l’avez abandonné.
