2 Chronicles 13:9 in Context — 2 Chronicles 13

7 E se achegaram a ele homens vãos, filhos de iniquidade, e puderam mais que Roboão filho de Salomão, porque Roboão era jovem e tenro de coração, e não se defendeu deles.

8 E agora vós tratais de fortificar-vos contra o reino do SENHOR em mão dos filhos de Davi, porque sois muitos, e tendes convosco os bezerros de ouro que Jeroboão vos fez por deuses.

9 Não lançastes vós aos sacerdotes do SENHOR, aos filhos de Arão, e aos levitas, e vos haveis feito sacerdotes à maneira dos povos de outras terras, para que qualquer um venha a consagrar-se com um bezerro e sete carneiros, e assim seja sacerdote dos que não são Deuses?

10 Mas em quanto a nós, o SENHOR é nosso Deus, e não lhe deixamos: e os sacerdotes que ministram ao SENHOR são os filhos de Arão, e os levitas na obra;

11 Os quais queimam ao SENHOR os holocaustos cada manhã e cada tarde, e os perfumes aromáticos; e põem os pães sobre a mesa limpa, e o candelabro de ouro com suas lâmpadas para que ardam cada tarde: porque nós guardamos a ordenança do SENHOR nosso Deus; mas vós o deixastes.
