Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Chronicles. Abijah confronts Jeroboam and delivers a speech defending the Davidic covenant and temple worship. He presents Judah as the people who preserve the established priesthood and sacrifices. His argument interprets the war not merely as a political conflict but as a confrontation related to faithfulness to Jerusalem’s religious order.

Habt ihr nicht die Priester des HERRN, die Kinder Aaron, und die Leviten ausgestoßen und habt euch eigene Priester gemacht wie die Völker in den Landen? Wer da kommt, seine Hand zu füllen mit einem jungen Farren und sieben Widdern, der wird Priester derer, die nicht Götter sind.
¿No echasteis vosotros a los sacerdotes de Jehová, a los hijos de Aarón, y a los Levitas, y os habéis hecho sacerdotes a la manera de los pueblos de otras tierras, para que cualquiera venga a consagrarse con un becerro y siete carneros, y así sea sacerdote de los que no son dioses?
N'avez-vous pas repoussé les sacrificateurs de l'Eternel, 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.
Non avete voi scacciati i sacerdoti del Signore, i figliuoli d’Aaronne, ed i Leviti? e non vi avete voi fatti de’ sacerdoti nella maniera de’ popoli de’ paesi? chiunque si è presentato per consacrarsi con un giovenco, e con sette montoni? e così è divenuto sacerdote di quelli che non son dii.
Não lançastes vós fora os sacerdotes do SENHOR, os filhos de Arão, e os levitas, e não fizestes para vós sacerdotes, como os povos das outras terras? Qualquer que vem a consagrar-se com um novilho e sete carneiros logo se faz sacerdote daqueles que não são deuses.
你們不是驅逐耶和華的祭司 亞倫 的後裔和 利未 人嗎?不是照著外邦人的惡俗為自己立祭司嗎?無論何人牽一頭公牛犢、七隻公綿羊將自己分別出來,就可作虛無神明的祭司。
