N'avez-vous pas repoussé les sacrificateurs de l'Éternel, les fils d'Aaron, et les Lévites? Et ne vous êtes-vous pas fait des sacrificateurs à la façon des peuples des autres pays? Quiconque est venu, pour être consacré, avec un jeune taureau et sept béliers, est devenu sacrificateur de ce qui n'est pas Dieu.
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.
N'avez-vous pas rejeté les Sacrificateurs de l'Eternel, les fils d'Aaron et les Lévites? et ne vous êtes-vous pas fait des sacrificateurs à la façon des peuples des [autres] pays? Tous ceux qui sont venus avec un jeune veau, et avec sept béliers pour être consacrés, et pour être sacrificateurs de ce qui n'est pas Dieu?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord the sons of Aaron, and the Levites,.... Because they would not sacrifice to his idols, and that they might not instruct the people in the pure worship of God, and that he and his people might be free from the payment of tithes, firstfruits, c. and their cities fall into his hands:
and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of [other] lands? after the manner of the Gentiles, without any regard to any particular tribe, which God had appointed those to be taken from:
so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams which were five more than what were required by the law of Moses for the consecration of a priest, Exodus 29:1, the same
may be a priest of [them that are] no gods; by nature, only nominal and fictitious deities, as the calves were, which had no divinity in them, see 1 Kings 13:31.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Seven rams - “A bullock and two rams†was the offering which God had required at the original consecration of the sons of Aaron Exodus 29:1; Leviticus 8:2. Jeroboam, for reasons of his own, enlarged the sacrifice, and required it at the consecration of every priest.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 13:9. A young bullock and seven rams — He who could provide these for his own consecration was received into the order of this spurious and wicked priesthood. Some think he who could give to Jeroboam a young bullock and seven rams, was thereby received into the priesthood; this being the price for which the priesthood was conferred. The former is most likely.
