Now in the eighteenth
H6240
H8141
year
H4428
of king
H3379
Jeroboam
H29
began Abijah
H4427
to reign
[H8799]
H3063
over Judah.
2
H4427
He reigned
[H8804]
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
[H8799]
H2428
with an army
H1368
of valiant men
H4421
of war
H702
, even four
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
[H8803]
H376
men
H3379
: Jeroboam
H4421
also set the battle
H6186
in array
[H8804]
H8083
against him with eight
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
[H8803]
H376
men
H1368
, being mighty men
H2428
of valour.
4
H29
And Abijah
H6965
stood up
[H8799]
H2022
upon mount
H6787
Zemaraim
H2022
, which is in mount
H669
Ephraim
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H8085
, Hear
[H8798]
H3379
me, thou Jeroboam
H3478
, and all Israel;
5
H3045
Ought ye not to know
[H8800]
H3068
that the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5414
gave
[H8804]
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
[H8799]
H4775
, and hath rebelled
[H8799]
H113
against his lord.
7
H6908
And there are gathered
[H8735]
H7386
unto him vain
H582
men
H1121
, the children
H1100
of Belial
H553
, and have strengthened
[H8691]
H7346
themselves against Rehoboam
H1121
the son
H8010
of Solomon
H7346
, when Rehoboam
H5288
was young
H7390
and tenderhearted
H3824
H2388
, and could not withstand
[H8694]
H6440
them.
8
H559
And now ye think
[H8802]
H2388
to withstand
[H8692]
H6440
the kingdom
H4467
H3068
of the LORD
H3027
in the hand
H1121
of the sons
H1732
of David
H7227
; and ye be a great
H1995
multitude
H2091
, and there are with you golden
H5695
calves
H3379
, which Jeroboam
H6213
made
[H8804]
H430
you for gods.
9
H5080
Have ye not cast out
[H8689]
H3548
the priests
H3068
of the LORD
H1121
, the sons
H175
of Aaron
H3881
, and the Levites
H6213
, and have made
[H8799]
H3548
you priests
H5971
after the manner of the nations
H776
of other lands
H935
? so that whosoever cometh
[H8802]
H4390
to consecrate
[H8763]
H3027
H1121
himself with a young
H1241
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
[H8804]
H3548
him; and the priests
H8334
, which minister
[H8764]
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
[H8688]
H3068
unto the LORD
H1242
every morning
H6153
and every evening
H5930
burnt sacrifices
H5561
and sweet
H7004
incense
H3899
: the shewbread
H4635
H2889
also set they in order upon the pure
H7979
table
H4501
; and the candlestick
H2091
of gold
H5216
with the lamps
H1197
thereof, to burn
[H8763]
H6153
every evening
H8104
: for we keep
[H8802]
H4931
the charge
H3068
of the LORD
H430
our God
H5800
; but ye have forsaken
[H8804]
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
[H8687]
H1121
against you. O children
H3478
of Israel
H3898
, fight
[H8735]
H3068
ye not against the LORD
H430
God
H1
of your fathers
H6743
; for ye shall not prosper
[H8686]
.
13
H3379
But Jeroboam
H3993
caused an ambushment
H935
to come
[H8800]
H5437
about
[H8689]
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
[H8799]
H4421
, behold, the battle
H6440
was before
H268
and behind
H6817
: and they cried
[H8799]
H3068
unto the LORD
H3548
, and the priests
H2690
sounded
[H8688]
[H8675]
H2690
[H8764]
H2689
with the trumpets.
15
H376
Then the men
H3063
of Judah
H7321
gave a shout
[H8686]
H376
: and as the men
H3063
of Judah
H7321
shouted
[H8687]
H430
, it came to pass, that God
H5062
smote
[H8804]
H3379
Jeroboam
H3478
and all Israel
H6440
before
H29
Abijah
H3063
and Judah.
16
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H5127
fled
[H8799]
H6440
before
H3063
Judah
H430
: and God
H5414
delivered
[H8799]
H3027
them into their hand.
17
H29
And Abijah
H5971
and his people
H5221
slew
[H8686]
H7227
them with a great
H4347
slaughter
H5307
: so there fell down
[H8799]
H2491
slain
H3478
of Israel
H2568
five
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
[H8803]
H376
men.
18
H1121
Thus the children
H3478
of Israel
H3665
were brought
[H8735]
H6256
under at that time
H1121
, and the children
H3063
of Judah
H553
prevailed
[H8799]
H8172
, because they relied
[H8738]
H3068
upon the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers.
19
H29
And Abijah
H7291
pursued
[H8799]
H310
after
H3379
Jeroboam
H3920
, and took
[H8799]
H5892
cities
H1008
from him, Bethel
H1323
with the towns
H3466
thereof, and Jeshanah
H1323
with the towns
H6085
thereof, and Ephrain
H1323
with the towns thereof.
20
H3379
Neither did Jeroboam
H6113
recover
[H8804]
H3581
strength
H3117
again in the days
H29
of Abijah
H3068
: and the LORD
H5062
struck
[H8799]
H4191
him, and he died
[H8799]
.
