5Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt?
6Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
7Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
— 2 Chronicles 13:5-7
