וְיָמִ֥ים רַבִּ֖ים לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְלֹ֣א ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱמֶ֗ת וּלְלֹ֛א כֹּהֵ֥ן מוֹרֶ֖ה וּלְלֹ֥א תוֹרָֽה׃
Now for long seasons Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;
Rashi on II Chronicles
Now there were many days for Israel without a true God until you came.
Rashi on II Chronicles
and without an instructing priest Since no one asks them words of Torah, the priests will not instruct you.
