2 Tawarikh 15:3

15:3 For a long time ¹  Israel had no true God, or priest to instruct them, or law.

2 Tawarikh 13:9

13:9 But you banished ²  the Lord’s priests, Aaron’s descendants, and the Levites, and appointed your own priests just as the surrounding nations do! Anyone who comes to consecrate himself with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of these fake gods! ³ 

[15:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Many days.”

[13:9]  ² tn In the Hebrew text this is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Did you not banish?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course you did,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “But you banished.”

[13:9]  ³ tn Heb “whoever comes to fill his hand with a bull of a son of cattle, and seven rams, and he is a priest to no-gods.”
