H8083 H6240
Now in the eighteenth
H8141
year
H4428
of king
H3379
Jeroboam
H29
began Abijah
H4427 [H8799]
to reign
H3063
over Judah.
2
H4427 [H8804]
He reigned
H7969
three
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem
H517
. His mother's
H8034
name
H4322
also was Michaiah
H1323
the daughter
H222
of Uriel
H1390
of Gibeah
H4421
. And there was war
H29
between Abijah
H3379
and Jeroboam.
3
H29
And Abijah
H631 0
set
H4421
the battle
H631 [H8799]
in array
H2428
with an army
H1368
of valiant men
H4421
of war
H702
, even four
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977 [H8803]
chosen
H376
men
H3379
: Jeroboam
H4421
also set the battle
H6186 [H8804]
in array
H8083
against him with eight
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977 [H8803]
chosen
H376
men
H1368
, being mighty men
H2428
of valour.
4
H29
And Abijah
H6965 [H8799]
stood
H2022
upon mount
H6787
Zemaraim
H2022
, which is in mount
H669
Ephraim
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H8085 [H8798]
, Hear
H3379
me, thou Jeroboam
H3478
, and all Israel;
5
H3045 [H8800]
Ought ye not to know
H3068
that the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5414 [H8804]
gave
H4467
the kingdom
H3478
over Israel
H1732
to David
H5769
for ever
H1121
, even to him and to his sons
H1285
by a covenant
H4417
of salt?
6
H3379
Yet Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H5028
of Nebat
H5650
, the servant
H8010
of Solomon
H1121
the son
H1732
of David
H6965 [H8799]
, hath risen up
H4775 [H8799]
, and hath rebelled
H113
against his lord.
7
H6908 [H8735]
And there are gathered
H7386
to him worthless
H582
men
H1100
, base
H1121
fellows
H553 [H8691]
, and they have strengthened
H7346
themselves against Rehoboam
H1121
the son
H8010
of Solomon
H7346
, when Rehoboam
H5288
was young
H7390 H3824
and tenderhearted
H2388 [H8694]
, and could not withstand
H6440
them.
8
H559 [H8802]
And now ye think
H2388 [H8692]
to withstand
H6440 H4467
the kingdom
H3068
of the LORD
H3027
in the hand
H1121
of the sons
H1732
of David
H7227
; and ye are a great
H1995
multitude
H2091
, and there are with you golden
H5695
calves
H3379
, which Jeroboam
H6213 [H8804]
made
H430
you for gods.
9
H5080 [H8689]
Have ye not cast out
H3548
the priests
H3068
of the LORD
H1121
, the sons
H175
of Aaron
H3881
, and the Levites
H6213 [H8799]
, and have appointed
H3548
priests
H5971
after the manner of the nations
H776
of other lands
H935 [H8802]
? so that whoever cometh
H4390 H3027 [H8763]
to consecrate
H1121 H1241
himself with a young
H6499
bull
H7651
and seven
H352
rams
H3548
, the same may be a priest
H3808
of them that are no
H430
gods.
10
H3068
But as for us, the LORD
H430
is our God
H5800 [H8804]
, and we have not forsaken
H3548
him; and the priests
H8334 [H8764]
, who minister
H3068
to the LORD
H1121
, are the sons
H175
of Aaron
H3881
, and the Levites
H4399
wait upon their business:
11
H6999 [H8688]
And they burn
H3068
to the LORD
H1242
every morning
H6153
and every evening
H5930
burnt sacrifices
H5561
and sweet
H7004
incense
H3899 H4635
: the showbread
H2889
also they set in order upon the pure
H7979
table
H4501
; and the lampstand
H2091
of gold
H5216
with its lamps
H1197 [H8763]
, to burn
H6153
every evening
H8104 [H8802]
: for we keep
H4931
the charge
H3068
of the LORD
H430
our God
H5800 [H8804]
; but ye have forsaken him.
12
H430
And, behold, God
H7218
himself is with us for our captain
H3548
, and his priests
H8643
with sounding
H2689
trumpets
H7321 [H8687]
to cry alarm
H1121
against you. O children
H3478
of Israel
H3898 [H8735]
, fight
H3068
ye not against the LORD
H430
God
H1
of your fathers
H6743 [H8686]
; for ye shall not prosper.
13
H3379
But Jeroboam
H3993
caused an ambush
H935 [H8800]
to come
H5437 [H8689]
about
H310
behind
H6440
them: so they were before
H3063
Judah
H3993
, and the ambush
H310
was behind them.
14
H3063
And when Judah
H6437 [H8799]
looked back
H4421
, behold, the battle
H6440
was before
H268
and behind
H6817 [H8799]
: and they cried
H3068
to the LORD
H3548
, and the priests
H2690 H2690 [H8688]
sounded
H2689
with the trumpets.
15
H376
Then the men
H3063
of Judah
H7321 [H8686]
gave a shout
H376
: and as the men
H3063
of Judah
H7321 [H8687]
shouted
H430
, it came to pass, that God
H5062 [H8804]
smote
H3379
Jeroboam
H3478
and all Israel
H6440
before
H29
Abijah
H3063
and Judah.
16
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H5127 [H8799]
fled
H6440
before
H3063
Judah
H430
: and God
H5414 [H8799]
delivered
H3027
them into their hand.
17
H29
And Abijah
H5971
and his people
H5221 [H8686]
slew
H7227
them with a great
H4347
slaughter
H5307 [H8799]
: so there fell down
H2491
slain
H3478
of Israel
H2568
five
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977 [H8803]
chosen
H376
men.
18
H1121
Thus the children
H3478
of Israel
H3665 [H8735]
were subdued
H6256
at that time
H1121
, and the children
H3063
of Judah
H553 [H8799]
prevailed
H8172 [H8738]
, because they relied
H3068
upon the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers.
19
H29
And Abijah
H7291 H310 [H8799]
pursued
H3379
Jeroboam
H3920 [H8799]
, and took
H5892
cities
H1008
from him, Bethel
H1323
with its towns
H3466
, and Jeshanah
H1323
with its towns
H6085
, and Ephrain
H1323
with its towns.
20
H3379
Neither did Jeroboam
H6113 [H8804]
recover
H3581
strength
H3117
again in the days
H29
of Abijah
H3068
: and the LORD
H5062 [H8799]
struck
H4191 [H8799]
him, and he died.
