After them. That is, after the priests and Levites who went to Judah and Jerusalem (vs. 13, 14).

Came to Jerusalem. These people moved their residence to Judah. Their purpose in leaving Israel and going to Judah was that they might have the opportunity of worshiping at Jerusalem. It was Jeroboam’s policy to prevent visits to Jerusalem for purposes of worship. At the time of Asa there again was a migration of faithful worshipers of Jehovah to the southern kingdom (ch. 15:9).
