So they went to Jerusalem with the Levites to sacrifice to the Lord, the God of their ·ancestors [fathers]. ¹⁷ These people made the kingdom of Judah strong, and they supported Solomon’s son Rehoboam for three years. During this time they ·lived [^Lwalked in] the way ·David and Solomon had lived [of David and Solomon].
