1
Now in the eighteenth [8083] [6240] year [8141] of king [4428] Jeroboam [3379] began Abijah [0029] to reign [4427] over Judah. [3063]
2
He reigned [4427] three [7969] years [8141] in Jerusalem. [3389] His mother's [0517] name [8034] also [was] Michaiah [4322] the daughter [1323] of Uriel [0222] of Gibeah. [1390] And there was war [4421] between Abijah [0029] and Jeroboam. [3379]
3
And Abijah [0029] set [0631] the battle [4421] in array with an army [2428] of valiant men [1368] of war, [4421] [even] four [0702] hundred [3967] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men: [0376] Jeroboam [3379] also set the battle [4421] in array [6186] against him with eight [8083] hundred [3967] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men, [0376] [being] mighty men [1368] of valour. [2428]
4
And Abijah [0029] stood up [6965] upon mount [2022] Zemaraim, [6787] which [is] in mount [2022] Ephraim, [0669] and said, [0559] Hear [8085] me, thou Jeroboam, [3379] and all Israel; [3478]
5
Ought ye not to know [3045] that the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] gave [5414] the kingdom [4467] over Israel [3478] to David [1732] for ever, [5769] [even] to him and to his sons [1121] by a covenant [1285] of salt? [4417]
6
Yet Jeroboam [3379] the son [1121] of Nebat, [5028] the servant [5650] of Solomon [8010] the son [1121] of David, [1732] is risen up, [6965] and hath rebelled [4775] against his lord. [0113]
7
And there are gathered [6908] unto him vain [7386] men, [0582] the children [1121] of Belial, [1100] and have strengthened [0553] themselves against Rehoboam [7346] the son [1121] of Solomon, [8010] when Rehoboam [7346] was young [5288] and tenderhearted, [7390] [3824] and could not withstand [2388] them. [6440]
8
And now ye think [0559] to withstand [2388] the [6440] kingdom [4467] of the LORD [3068] in the hand [3027] of the sons [1121] of David; [1732] and ye [be] a great [7227] multitude, [1995] and [there are] with you golden [2091] calves, [5695] which Jeroboam [3379] made [6213] you for gods. [0430]
9
Have ye not cast out [5080] the priests [3548] of the LORD, [3068] the sons [1121] of Aaron, [0175] and the Levites, [3881] and have made [6213] you priests [3548] after the manner of the nations [5971] of [other] lands? [0776] so that whosoever cometh [0935] to consecrate [4390] himself [3027] with a young [6499] [1121] bullock [1241] and seven [7651] rams, [0352] [the same] may be a priest [3548] of [them that are] no [3808] gods. [0430]
10
But as for us, the LORD [3068] [is] our God, [0430] and we have not forsaken [5800] him; and the priests, [3548] which minister [8334] unto the LORD, [3068] [are] the sons [1121] of Aaron, [0175] and the Levites [3881] [wait] upon [their] business: [4399]
11
And they burn [6999] unto the LORD [3068] every morning [1242] [1242] and every evening [6153] [6153] burnt sacrifices [5930] and sweet [5561] incense: [7004] the shewbread [3899] [4635] also [set they in order] upon the pure [2889] table; [7979] and the candlestick [4501] of gold [2091] with the lamps [5216] thereof, to burn [1197] every evening: [6153] [6153] for we keep [8104] the charge [4931] of the LORD [3068] our God; [0430] but ye have forsaken [5800] him.
12
And, behold, God [0430] himself [is] with us for [our] captain, [7218] and his priests [3548] with sounding [8643] trumpets [2689] to cry alarm [7321] against you. O children [1121] of Israel, [3478] fight [3898] ye not against the LORD [3068] God [0430] of your fathers; [0001] for ye shall not prosper. [6743]
13
But Jeroboam [3379] caused an ambushment [3993] to come [0935] about [5437] behind [0310] them: so they were before [6440] Judah, [3063] and the ambushment [3993] [was] behind [0310] them.
14
And when Judah [3063] looked [6437] back, behold, the battle [4421] [was] before [6440] and behind: [0268] and they cried [6817] unto the LORD, [3068] and the priests [3548] sounded [2690] with the trumpets. [2689]
15
Then the men [0376] of Judah [3063] gave a shout: [7321] and as the men [0376] of Judah [3063] shouted, [7321] it came to pass, that God [0430] smote [5062] Jeroboam [3379] and all Israel [3478] before [6440] Abijah [0029] and Judah. [3063]
16
And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] fled [5127] before [6440] Judah: [3063] and God [0430] delivered [5414] them into their hand. [3027]
17
And Abijah [0029] and his people [5971] slew [5221] them with a great [7227] slaughter: [4347] so there fell down [5307] slain [2491] of Israel [3478] five [2568] hundred [3967] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men. [0376]
18
Thus the children [1121] of Israel [3478] were brought [3665] under at that time, [6256] and the children [1121] of Judah [3063] prevailed, [0553] because they relied [8172] upon the LORD [3068] God [0430] of their fathers. [0001]
19
And Abijah [0029] pursued [7291] after [0310] Jeroboam, [3379] and took [3920] cities [5892] from him, Bethel [1008] with the towns [1323] thereof, and Jeshanah [3466] with the towns [1323] thereof, and Ephrain [6085] with the towns [1323] thereof.
20
Neither did Jeroboam [3379] recover [6113] strength [3581] again in the days [3117] of Abijah: [0029] and the LORD [3068] struck [5062] him, and he died. [4191]
21
But Abijah [0029] waxed mighty, [2388] and married [5375] fourteen [0702] [6240] wives, [0802] and begat [3205] twenty [6242] and two [8147] sons, [1121] and sixteen [8337] [6240] daughters. [1323]
22
And the rest [3499] of the acts [1697] of Abijah, [0029] and his ways, [1870] and his sayings, [1697] [are] written [3789] in the story [4097] of the prophet [5030] Iddo. [5714]
