2 Chronicles 13:5-8

5Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel agave the kingship over Israel forever to David and his sons by ba covenant of salt? 6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up cand rebelled against his lord, 7and certain dworthless scoundrels gathered about him and defied Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was eyoung and irresolute
Hebrew soft of heart
and could not withstand them.

8“And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude and have with you gthe golden calves that Jeroboam made you for gods.
