1
In the eighteenth
year
of King
Jeroboam,
Abijah
became king
over
Judah.
2
He reigned
three
years
in Jerusalem;
and his mother's
name
was Micaiah
the daughter
of Uriel
of Gibeah.
Now there was war
between
Abijah
and Jeroboam.
3
Abijah
began
the battle
with an army
of valiant
warriors,
400,000
chosen
men
,
while Jeroboam
drew
up in battle
formation
against
him with 800,000
chosen
men
who were valiant
warriors.
4
Then Abijah
stood
on Mount
Zemaraim,
which
is in the hill country
of Ephraim,
and said,
"Listen
to me, Jeroboam
and all
Israel:
5
"Do you not know
that the LORD
God
of
Israel
gave
the rule
over
Israel
forever
to David
and his sons
by a covenant
of salt?
6
"Yet Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
the servant
of Solomon
the son
of David,
rose
up and rebelled
against
his master,
7
and worthless
men
gathered
about
him, scoundrels,
who proved
too
strong
for Rehoboam,
the son
of Solomon,
when he was young
and timid
and could not hold his own
against
them.
8
"So now
you intend
to resist
the kingdom
of the LORD
through
the sons
of David,
being a great
multitude
and having with you the golden
calves
which
Jeroboam
made
for gods
for you.
9
"Have you not driven
out the priests
of the LORD,
the sons
of Aaron
and the Levites,
and made
for yourselves priests
like the peoples
of other lands?
Whoever
comes
to consecrate
himself
with a young
bull
and seven
rams,
even he may become
a priest
of what are no
gods.
10
"But as for us, the LORD
is our God,
and we have not forsaken
Him; and the sons
of Aaron
are ministering
to the LORD
as priests,
and the Levites
attend to their work.
11
"Every
morning
and evening
they burn
to the LORD
burnt offerings
and fragrant
incense,
and the showbread
is set on the clean
table,
and the golden
lampstand
with its lamps
is ready to light
every
evening;
for we keep
the charge
of the LORD
our God,
but you have forsaken
Him.
12
"Now behold,
God
is with us at our head
and His priests
with the signal
trumpets
to sound the alarm
against
you. O sons
of Israel,
do not fight
against
the LORD
God
of your fathers,
for you will not succeed."
13
But Jeroboam
had set
an ambush
to come
from the rear,
so that Israel was in front
of Judah
and the ambush
was behind
them.
14
When Judah
turned around,
behold,
they were attacked
both front
and rear;
so they cried
to the LORD,
and the priests
blew
the trumpets.
15
Then the men
of Judah
raised
a war cry,
and when the men
of Judah
raised
the war cry,
then it was that God
routed
Jeroboam
and all
Israel
before
Abijah
and Judah.
16
When the sons
of Israel
fled
before
Judah,
God
gave
them into their hand.
17
Abijah
and his people
defeated
them with a great
slaughter,
so that 500,000
chosen
men
of Israel
fell
slain.
18
Thus the sons
of Israel
were subdued
at that time,
and the sons
of Judah
conquered
because
they trusted
in the LORD,
the God
of their fathers.
19
Abijah
pursued
Jeroboam
and captured
from him several cities,
Bethel
with its villages
,
Jeshanah
with its villages
and Ephron
with its villages
.
20
Jeroboam
did not again
recover
strength
in the days
of Abijah;
and the LORD
struck
him and he died.
21
But Abijah
became powerful;
and took
fourteen
wives
to himself, and became the father
of twenty-two
sons
and sixteen
daughters.
22
Now the rest
of the acts
of Abijah,
and his ways
and his words
are written
in the treatise
of the prophet
Iddo.
