2 Crónicas 13

1In the eighteenth^H8083 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Jeroboam^H3379 began Abijah^H29 to reign^H4427 over Judah^H3063. 2Three^H7969 years^H8141 reigned^H4427 he in Jerusalem^H3389: and his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Micaiah^H4322 the daughter^H1323 of Uriel^H222 of Gibeah^H1390. And there was war^H4421 between Abijah^H29 and Jeroboam^H3379. 3And Abijah^H29 joined^H631 battle^H4421 with^H631 an army^H2428 of valiant men^H1368 of war^H4421, even four^H702 hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 chosen^H977 men^H1368: and Jeroboam^H3379 set the battle^H4421 in array^H6186 against him with eight^H8083 hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 chosen^H977 men^H376, who were mighty men^H376 of valor^H2428. 4And Abijah^H29 stood up^H6965 upon mount^H2022 Zemaraim^H6787, which is in the hill-country^H2022 of Ephraim^H669, and said^H559, Hear^H8085 me, O Jeroboam^H3379 and all Israel^H3478: 5Ought ye not to know^H3045 that Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, gave^H5414 the kingdom^H4467 over Israel^H3478 to David^H1732 for ever^H5769, even to him and to his sons^H1121 by a covenant^H1285 of salt^H4417? 6Yet Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028, the servant^H5650 of Solomon^H8010 the son^H1121 of David^H1732, rose up^H6965, and rebelled^H4775 against his lord^H113. 7And there were gathered^H6908 unto him worthless^H1100 men^H582, base^H1100 fellows^H1121, that strengthened^H553 themselves against Rehoboam^H7346 the son^H1121 of Solomon^H8010, when Rehoboam^H7346 was young^H5288 and tender-hearted^H7390, and could not withstand^H2388 them^H6440. 8And now ye think^H559 to withstand^H2388 the kingdom^H6440 of Jehovah^H3068 in the hand^H3027 of the sons^H1121 of David^H1732; and ye are a great^H7227 multitude^H1995, and there are with you the golden^H2091 calves^H5695 which Jeroboam^H3379 made^H6213 you for gods^H430. 9Have ye not driven out^H5080 the priests^H3548 of Jehovah^H3068, the sons^H1121 of Aaron^H175, and the Levites^H3881, and made^H6213 you priests^H3548 after the manner of the peoples^H5971 of other lands^H776? so that whosoever cometh^H935 to consecrate^H4390 himself with a young^H1121 bullock^H6499 and seven^H7651 rams^H352, the same may be a priest^H3548 of them that are no^H3808 gods^H430. 10But as for us, Jehovah^H3068 is our God^H430, and we have not forsaken^H5800 him; and we have priests^H3548 ministering^H8334 unto Jehovah^H3068, the sons^H1121 of Aaron^H175, and the Levites^H3881 in their work^H4399: 11and they burn^H6999 unto Jehovah^H3068 every morning^H1242 and every evening^H6153 burnt-offerings^H5930 and sweet^H5561 incense^H7004: the showbread^H3899 also set they in order upon the pure^H2889 table^H7979; and the candlestick^H4501 of gold^H2091 with the lamps^H5216 thereof, to burn^H1197 every evening^H6153: for we keep^H8104 the charge^H4931 of Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430; but ye have forsaken^H5800 him. 12And, behold, God^H430 is with us at our head^H7218, and his priests^H3548 with the trumpets^H2689 of alarm^H7321 to sound an alarm^H7321 against you. O children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, fight^H3898 ye not against Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of your fathers^H1; for ye shall not prosper^H6743. 13But Jeroboam^H3379 caused an ambushment^H3993 to come^H935 about^H5437 behind^H310 them: so they were before^H6440 Judah^H3063, and the ambushment^H3993 was behind^H310 them. 14And when Judah^H3063 looked back^H6437, behold, the battle^H4421 was before^H6440 and behind^H268 them; and they cried^H6817 unto Jehovah^H3068, and the priests^H3548 sounded^H2690 with the trumpets^H2689. 15Then the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 gave a shout^H7321: and as the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 shouted^H7321, it came to pass, that God^H430 smote^H5062 Jeroboam^H3379 and all Israel^H3478 before^H6440 Abijah^H29 and Judah^H3063. 16And the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 fled^H5127 before^H6440 Judah^H3063; and God^H430 delivered^H5414 them into their hand^H3027. 17And Abijah^H29 and his people^H5971 slew^H5221 them with a great^H7227 slaughter^H4347: so there fell down^H5307 slain^H2491 of Israel^H3478 five^H2568 hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 chosen^H977 men^H376. 18Thus the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 were brought^H3665 under at that time^H6256, and the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 prevailed^H553, because they relied^H8172 upon Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of their fathers^H1. 19And Abijah^H29 pursued^H7291 after^H310 Jeroboam^H3379, and took^H3920 cities^H5892 from him, Beth-el^H1008 with the towns^H1323 thereof, and Jeshanah^H3466 with the towns^H1323 thereof, and Ephron^H6085 with the towns^H1323 thereof. 20Neither did Jeroboam^H3379 recover^H6113 strength^H3581 again in the days^H3117 of Abijah^H29: and Jehovah^H3068 smote^H5062 him, and he died^H4191. 21But Abijah^H29 waxed mighty^H2388, and took^H5375 unto himself fourteen^H702 wives^H802, and begat^H3205 twenty^H6242 and two^H8147 sons^H1121, and sixteen^H8337 daughters^H1323. 22And the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Abijah^H29, and his ways^H1870, and his sayings^H1697, are written^H3789 in the commentary^H4097 of the prophet^H5030 Iddo^H5714.
