2 Chronicles 13:11

and they are making a perfume unto Yahweh, with ascending-sacrifices morning by morning, and evening by evening and an incense of sweet spices, and are putting in order bread upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, for lighting up evening by evening, for, observant, are we of the charge of Yahweh our God,—whereas, ye, have forsaken him.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.

In Context

10But, as for us, Yahweh, is our God, and we have not forsaken him,—and, the priests who are waiting upon Yahweh, are sons of Aaron, with Levites in the work;

12And lo! with us as Head, is God himself, and his priests, and the trumpets of alarm, to sound an alarm against you,—O sons of Israel! do not fight against Yahweh God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper.
