1: In the yearH8141 eightH8083 [and] tenH6240 of KingH4428 JeroboamH3379 and became kingH4427 AbijahH0029 overH5921 Judah.H3063
2: ThreeH7969 yearsH8141 He reignedH4427 in Jerusalem.H3389 And name [was]H8034 of His motherH0517 MichaiahH4322 the daughterH1323 of UrielH0222 ofH4480 Gibeah.H1390 And warH4421 there wasH1961 betweenH0996 AbijahH0029 andH0996 Jeroboam.H3379
3: And set in orderH0631 AbijahH0029 -H0853 the battleH4421 with an armyH2428 of valiantH1368 warriors,H4421 fourH0702 hundredH3967 thousandH0505 men,H0376 choiceH0970 and JeroboamH3379 drew up in formationH6186 against himH5973 battleH4421 with eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH0505 men,H0376 choiceH0970 mighty menH1368 of valor.H2428
4: And stoodH6965 AbijahH0029 onH5921 on MountH2022 Zemaraim,H6787 which [is]H0834 in the mountainsH2022 of Ephraim,H0669 and said,H0559 Hear meH8085 Jeroboam,H3379 and allH3605 Israel-H3478
5: Should notH3808 knowH3045 thatH3588 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 the dominionH4467 to DavidH1732 overH5921 IsraelH3478 forever,H5769 and his sonsH1121 by a covenantH1285 of salt?H4417
6: and yet rose up,H6965 JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 sonH1121 of David,H1732 and rebelledH4775 againstH5921 his lord.H0113
7: And gatheredH6908 to himH5921 roguesH0582 vainH7386 the sonsH1121 worthless,H1100 and strengthened themselvesH0553 againstH5921 RehoboamH7346 sonH1121 of Solomon,H8010 and when RehoboamH7346 wasH1961 youngH5288 andH7390 inexperienced,H3824 and notH3808 could withstandH2388 them.H6440
8: NowH6258 youH0859 thinkH0559 to withstandH2388 before the face ofH6440 the kingdomH4467 of YahwehH3068 which is in the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of David-H1732 and you [are]H0859 a multitude,H1995 greatH7227 and with you areH5973 the calves,H5695 goldH2091 whichH0834 madeH6213 JeroboamH3379 as gods.H0430
9: Have notH3808 you cast outH5080 -H0853 the priestsH3548 of Yahweh,H3068 -H0853 the sonsH1121 of Aaron,H0175 and the Levites,H3881 and madeH6213 priestsH3548 like the peoplesH5971 of [other] lands?H0776 so that whoeverH3605 comesH0935 to consecrateH4390 himselfH3027 with a bullH6499 with a sonH1121 youngH1241 and rams,H0352 sevenH7651 and may beH1961 a priestH3548 of [things that are] notH3808 gods.H0430
10: But [as for] us,H0587 Yahweh [is]H3068 our God,H0430 and notH3808 we have forsaken HimH5800 and the priests,H3548 who ministerH8334 to Yahweh,H3068 [are] the sonsH1121 of Aaron,H0175 and the LevitesH3881 [attend] to [their] duties.H4399
11: And they burnH6999 to YahwehH3068 burnt sacrificesH5930 morningH1242 every morningH1242 andH6153 every eveningH6153 and incense,H7004 sweetH5561 and [they] also [set in order]H4635 the showbreadH3899 on]H5921 the table-H7979 pure [gold]H2889 and the lampstandH4501 of goldH2091 and with its lampsH5216 to burnH1197 eveningH6153 every evening-H6153 forH3588 keepH8104 weH0587 -H0853 the commandH4931 of YahwehH3068 our God-H0430 but youH0859 have forsakenH5800 Him.H0853
12: Now look,H2009 with usH5973 as [our] head,H7218 God Himself isH0430 and His priestsH3548 and with trumpetsH2689 soundingH8643 to sound the alarmH7321 against youH5921 sonsH1121 of Israel,H3478 notH0408 do fightH3898 againstH5973 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of your fathers-H0001 forH3588 notH3808 you shall prosper.H6743
13: But JeroboamH3379 causedH5437 -H0853 an ambushH3993 to go aroundH0935 behind themH0310 so they wereH1961 in frontH6440 of Judah,H3063 and the ambush [was]H3993 behind them.H0310
14: And when looked around,H6437 JudahH3063 and to their surprise,H2009 the battle line [was]H4421 at both frontH6440 and rear-H0268 and they cried outH6817 to Yahweh,H3068 and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690 the trumpets.H2689
15: And gave a shout-H7321 the menH0376 of JudahH3063 and it came to pass,H1961 as shouted,H7321 the menH0376 of JudahH3063 that GodH0430 struckH5062 -H0853 JeroboamH3379 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH0029 and Judah.H3063
16: And fledH5127 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 Judah,H3063 and delivered themH5414 GodH0430 into their hand.H3027
17: And struckH5221 AbijahH0029 and his peopleH5971 with a slaughter,H4347 greatH7227 so fellH5307 slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH0505 menH0376 choice.H0970
18: Thus were subduedH3665 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at time,H6256 thatH1931 and prevailed,H0553 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 becauseH3588 they reliedH8172 onH5921 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of their fathers.H0001
19: And pursuedH7291 AbijahH0029 afterH0310 Jeroboam,H3379 and tookH3920 from himH4480 citiesH5892 -H0853 BethelH1008 andH0853 with its villagesH1323 andH0853 JeshanahH3466 andH0853 with its villagesH1323 andH0853 EphrainH6085 and with its villages.H1323
20: So notH3808 did recoverH6113 strengthH3581 JeroboamH3379 againH5750 in the daysH3117 of Abijah-H0029 and struck himH5062 YahwehH3068 and he died.H4191
21: But grew mighty,H2388 AbijahH0029 and marriedH5375 wives,H0802 fourH0702 [and] tenH6240 and he begatH3205 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 sons,H1121 and sixH8337 [and] tenH6240 daughters.H1323
22: And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Abijah,H0029 and his ways,H1870 and his sayings,H1697 [are] writtenH3789 in the annalsH4097 of the prophetH5030 Iddo.H5714
