He reignedh4427h8804 threeh7969 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389. His mother'sh517 nameh8034 also was Michaiahh4322 the daughterh1323 of Urielh222 of Gibeahh1390. And there was warh4421 between Abijahh29 and Jeroboamh3379.

And Abijahh29 seth631 the battleh4421 in arrayh631h8799 with an armyh2428 of valiant menh1368 of warh4421, even fourh702 hundredh3967 thousandh505 chosenh977h8803 menh376: Jeroboamh3379 also set the battleh4421 in arrayh6186h8804 against him with eighth8083 hundredh3967 thousandh505 chosenh977h8803 menh376, being mighty menh1368 of valourh2428.

And Abijahh29 stood uph6965h8799 upon mounth2022 Zemaraimh6787, which is in mounth2022 Ephraimh669, and saidh559h8799, Hearh8085h8798 me, thou Jeroboamh3379, and all Israelh3478;

5

Ought ye not to knowh3045h8800 that the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 gaveh5414h8804 the kingdomh4467 over Israelh3478 to Davidh1732 for everh5769, even to him and to his sonsh1121 by a covenanth1285 of salth4417?

6

Yet Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, the servanth5650 of Solomonh8010 the sonh1121 of Davidh1732, is risen uph6965h8799, and hath rebelledh4775h8799 against his lordh113.

7

And there are gatheredh6908h8735 unto him vainh7386 menh582, the childrenh1121 of Belialh1100, and have strengthenedh553h8691 themselves against Rehoboamh7346 the sonh1121 of Solomonh8010, when Rehoboamh7346 was youngh5288 and tenderheartedh7390h3824, and could not withstandh2388h8694 themh6440.

8

And now ye thinkh559h8802 to withstandh2388h8692 the kingdomh6440h4467 of the LORDh3068 in the handh3027 of the sonsh1121 of Davidh1732; and ye be a greath7227 multitudeh1995, and there are with you goldenh2091 calvesh5695, which Jeroboamh3379 madeh6213h8804 you for godsh430.

9

Have ye not cast outh5080h8689 the priestsh3548 of the LORDh3068, the sonsh1121 of Aaronh175, and the Levitesh3881, and have madeh6213h8799 you priestsh3548 after the manner of the nationsh5971 of other landsh776? so that whosoever comethh935h8802 to consecrateh4390h8763h3027 himself with a youngh1121h1241 bullockh6499 and sevenh7651 ramsh352, the same may be a priesth3548 of them that are noh3808 godsh430. to consecrate...: Heb. to fill his hand

10

But as for us, the LORDh3068 is our Godh430, and we have not forsakenh5800h8804 him; and the priestsh3548, which ministerh8334h8764 unto the LORDh3068, are the sonsh1121 of Aaronh175, and the Levitesh3881 wait upon their businessh4399:

11

And they burnh6999h8688 unto the LORDh3068 every morningh1242 and every eveningh6153 burnt sacrificesh5930 and sweeth5561 incenseh7004: the shewbreadh3899h4635 also set they in order upon the pureh2889 tableh7979; and the candlestickh4501 of goldh2091 with the lampsh5216 thereof, to burnh1197h8763 every eveningh6153: for we keeph8104h8802 the chargeh4931 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430; but ye have forsakenh5800h8804 him.

12

And, behold, Godh430 himself is with us for our captainh7218, and his priestsh3548 with soundingh8643 trumpetsh2689 to cry alarmh7321h8687 against you. O childrenh1121 of Israelh3478, fighth3898h8735 ye not against the LORDh3068 Godh430 of your fathersh1; for ye shall not prosperh6743h8686.

13

But Jeroboamh3379 caused an ambushmenth3993 to comeh935h8800 abouth5437h8689 behindh310 them: so they were beforeh6440 Judahh3063, and the ambushmenth3993 was behindh310 them.

14

And when Judahh3063 looked backh6437h8799, behold, the battleh4421 was beforeh6440 and behindh268: and they criedh6817h8799 unto the LORDh3068, and the priestsh3548 soundedh2690h8688h8675h2690h8764 with the trumpetsh2689.

15

Then the menh376 of Judahh3063 gave a shouth7321h8686: and as the menh376 of Judahh3063 shoutedh7321h8687, it came to pass, that Godh430 smoteh5062h8804 Jeroboamh3379 and all Israelh3478 beforeh6440 Abijahh29 and Judahh3063.

16

And the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 fledh5127h8799 beforeh6440 Judahh3063: and Godh430 deliveredh5414h8799 them into their handh3027.

17

And Abijahh29 and his peopleh5971 slewh5221h8686 them with a greath7227 slaughterh4347: so there fell downh5307h8799 slainh2491 of Israelh3478 fiveh2568 hundredh3967 thousandh505 chosenh977h8803 menh376.

18

Thus the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 were broughth3665h8735 under at that timeh6256, and the childrenh1121 of Judahh3063 prevailedh553h8799, because they reliedh8172h8738 upon the LORDh3068 Godh430 of their fathersh1.

19

And Abijahh29 pursuedh7291h8799 afterh310 Jeroboamh3379, and tookh3920h8799 citiesh5892 from him, Bethelh1008 with the townsh1323 thereof, and Jeshanahh3466 with the townsh1323 thereof, and Ephrainh6085 with the townsh1323 thereof.

20

Neither did Jeroboamh3379 recoverh6113h8804 strengthh3581 again in the daysh3117 of Abijahh29: and the LORDh3068 struckh5062h8799 him, and he diedh4191h8799.

21

But Abijahh29 waxed mightyh2388h8691, and marriedh5375h8799 fourteenh702h6240 wivesh802, and begath3205h8686 twentyh6242 and twoh8147 sonsh1121, and sixteenh8337h6240 daughtersh1323.

22

And the resth3499 of the actsh1697 of Abijahh29, and his waysh1870, and his sayingsh1697, are writtenh3789h8803 in the storyh4097 of the propheth5030 Iddoh5714.
