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
to the age,
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 sovereign.
7
H6908 [H8735]
And there are gathered
H7386
to him empty
H582
men,
H1100
worthless
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 peoples
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 shout alarm
H1121
against you. O sons
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 at the face of
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 at the face of
H268
and behind:
H6817 [H8799]
and they shrieked
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
at the face of
H29
Abijah
H3063
and Judah.
16
H1121
And the sons
H3478
of Israel
H5127 [H8799]
fled
H6440
at the face of
H3063
Judah:
H430
and God
H5414 [H8799]
gave
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 sons
H3478
of Israel
H3665 [H8735]
were subdued
H6256
at that time,
H1121
and the sons
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.
