1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah. 2 Chronicles 13:1WEB
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 2 Chronicles 13:2WEB
3 Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor. 2 Chronicles 13:3WEB
4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: 2 Chronicles 13:4WEB
5 Ought you not to know that YHWH, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 2 Chronicles 13:5WEB
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. 2 Chronicles 13:6WEB
7 Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them. 2 Chronicles 13:7WEB
8 “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you. 2 Chronicles 13:8WEB
9 Haven’t you driven out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods. 2 Chronicles 13:9WEB
10 “But as for us, YHWH is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work. 2 Chronicles 13:10WEB
11 They burn to YHWH every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of YHWH our God, but you have forsaken him. 2 Chronicles 13:11WEB
12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against YHWH, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.” 2 Chronicles 13:12WEB
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 2 Chronicles 13:13WEB
14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to YHWH, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 2 Chronicles 13:14WEB
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 2 Chronicles 13:15WEB
16 The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand. 2 Chronicles 13:16WEB
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain. 2 Chronicles 13:17WEB
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on YHWH, the God of their fathers. 2 Chronicles 13:18WEB
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages. 2 Chronicles 13:19WEB
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. YHWH struck him, and he died. 2 Chronicles 13:20WEB
21 But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 2 Chronicles 13:21WEB
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo. 2 Chronicles 13:22WEB
