Now in the eighteenth
H8141
year
H4428
of king
H3379
Jeroboam
H29
began Abijah
H4427
to reign
H3063
over Judah.
2
H4427
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
set
H4421
the battle
H631
in array
H2428
with an army
H1368
of valiant men
H4421
of war,
H702
even four
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
H376
men:
H3379
Jeroboam
H4421
also set the battle
H6186
in array
H8083
against him with eight
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
H376
men,
H1368
being mighty men
H2428
of valor.
4
H29
And Abijah
H6965
stood up
H2022
upon mountain
H6787
Zemaraim,
H2022
which is in mountain
H669
Ephraim,
H559
and said,
H8085
Hear
H3379
me, you Jeroboam,
H3478
and all Israel;
5
H3045
Should you not know
H3068
that the Lord
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5414
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
is risen up,
H4775
and has rebelled
H113
against his lord.
7
H6908
And there are gathered
H7386
unto him vain
H582
men,
H1121
the sons
H1100
of Belial,
H553
and have strengthened
H7346
themselves against Rehoboam
H1121
the son
H8010
of Solomon,
H7346
when Rehoboam
H5288
was young
H7390
and tenderhearted,
H2388
and could not withstand
H6440
them.
8
H559
And now you think
H2388
to withstand
H6440
the kingdom
H3068
of the Lord
H3027
in the hand
H1121
of the sons
H1732
of David;
H7227
and you be a great
H1995
multitude,
H2091
and there are with you golden
H5695
calves,
H3379
which Jeroboam
H6213
made
H430
you for gods.
9
H5080
Have you not cast out
H3548
the priests
H3068
of the Lord,
H1121
the sons
H175
of Aaron,
H3881
and the Levites,
H6213
and have made
H3548
you priests
H5971
after the manner of the nations
H776
of other lands?
H935
so that whoever comes
H4390
to consecrate
H1121
himself with a young
H6499
bullock
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
and we have not forsaken
H3548
him; and the priests,
H8334
which minister
H3068
unto the Lord,
H1121
are the sons
H175
of Aaron,
H3881
and the Levites
H4399
wait upon their business:
11
H6999
And they burn
H3068
unto the Lord
H1242
every morning
H6153
and every evening
H5930
burnt sacrifices
H5561
and sweet
H7004
incense:
H3899
the showbread
H2889
also set they in order upon the pure
H7979
table;
H4501
and the lampstand
H2091
of gold
H5216
with the lamps
H1197
there, to burn
H6153
every evening:
H8104
for we keep
H4931
the charge
H3068
of the Lord
H430
our God;
H5800
but you 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
to cry alarm
H1121
against you. O sons
H3478
of Israel,
H3898
fight
H3068
you not against the Lord
H430
God
H1
of your fathers;
H6743
for you shall not prosper.
13
H3379
But Jeroboam
H3993
caused an ambushment
H935
to come
H5437
about
H310
behind
H6440
them: so they were before
H3063
Judah,
H3993
and the ambushment
H310
was behind them.
14
H3063
And when Judah
H6437
looked back,
H4421
behold, the battle
H6440
was before
H268
and behind:
H6817
and they cried
H3068
unto the Lord,
H3548
and the priests
H2690
sounded
H2689
with the trumpets.
15
H376
Then the men
H3063
of Judah
H7321
gave a shout:
H376
and as the men
H3063
of Judah
H7321
shouted,
H430
it came to pass, that God
H5062
struck
H3379
Jeroboam
H3478
and all Israel
H6440
before
H29
Abijah
H3063
and Judah.
16
H1121
And the sons
H3478
of Israel
H5127
fled
H6440
before
H3063
Judah:
H430
and God
H5414
delivered
H3027
them into their hand.
17
H29
And Abijah
H5971
and his people
H5221
killed
H7227
them with a great
H4347
slaughter:
H5307
so there fell down
H2491
slain
H3478
of Israel
H2568
five
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
H376
men.
18
H1121
Thus the sons
H3478
of Israel
H3665
were brought
H6256
under at that time,
H1121
and the sons
H3063
of Judah
H553
prevailed,
H8172
because they relied
H3068
upon the Lord
H430
God
H1
of their fathers.
19
H29
And Abijah
H7291
pursued
H310
after
H3379
Jeroboam,
H3920
and took
H5892
cities
H1008
from him, Beth–el
H1323
with the towns
H3466
there, and Jeshanah
H1323
with the towns
H6085
there, and Ephrain
H1323
with the towns there.
20
H3379
Neither did Jeroboam
H6113
recover
H3581
strength
H3117
again in the days
H29
of Abijah:
H3068
and the Lord
H5062
struck
H4191
him, and he died.
