Now in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 began AbijahH29 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063.
He reignedH4427 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 arrayH631 with an armyH2428 of valiant menH1368 of warH4421, even fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376: JeroboamH3379 also set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 against him with eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376, being mighty menH1368 of valourH2428. {Abijah set: Heb. Abijah bound together}
And AbijahH29 stood upH6965 upon mountH2022 ZemaraimH6787, which is in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and saidH559, HearH8085 me, thou JeroboamH3379, and all IsraelH3478;
Ought ye not to knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 the kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 for everH5769, even to him and to his sonsH1121 by a covenantH1285 of saltH4417?
Yet JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, is risen upH6965, and hath rebelledH4775 against his lordH113.
And there are gatheredH6908 unto him vainH7386 menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and have strengthenedH553 themselves against RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when RehoboamH7346 was youngH5288 and tenderheartedH7390+H3824, and could not withstandH2388 themH6440.
And now ye thinkH559 to withstandH2388 the kingdomH6440+H4467 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 madeH6213 you for godsH430.
Have ye not cast outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213 you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935 to consecrateH4390+H3027 himself with a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430. {to consecrate…: Heb. to fill his hand}
But as for us, the LORDH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not forsakenH5800 him; and the priestsH3548, which ministerH8334 unto the LORDH3068, are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 wait upon their businessH4399:
And they burnH6999 unto the LORDH3068 every morningH1242 and every eveningH6153 burnt sacrificesH5930 and sweetH5561 incenseH7004: the shewbreadH3899+H4635 also set they in order upon the pureH2889 tableH7979; and the candlestickH4501 of goldH2091 with the lampsH5216 thereof, to burnH1197 every eveningH6153: for we keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430; but ye have forsakenH5800 him.
And, behold, GodH430 himself is with us for our captainH7218, and his priestsH3548 with soundingH8643 trumpetsH2689 to cry alarmH7321 against you. O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, fightH3898 ye not against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1; for ye shall not prosperH6743.
But JeroboamH3379 caused an ambushmentH3993 to comeH935 aboutH5437 behindH310 them: so they were beforeH6440 JudahH3063, and the ambushmentH3993 was behindH310 them.
And when JudahH3063 looked backH6437, behold, the battleH4421 was beforeH6440 and behindH268: and they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690+H2690 with the trumpetsH2689.
Then the menH376 of JudahH3063 gave a shoutH7321: and as the menH376 of JudahH3063 shoutedH7321, it came to pass, that GodH430 smoteH5062 JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH29 and JudahH3063.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 beforeH6440 JudahH3063: and GodH430 deliveredH5414 them into their handH3027.
And AbijahH29 and his peopleH5971 slewH5221 them with a greatH7227 slaughterH4347: so there fell downH5307 slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376.
Thus the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were broughtH3665 under at that timeH6256, and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 prevailedH553, because they reliedH8172 upon the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.
And AbijahH29 pursuedH7291 afterH310 JeroboamH3379, and tookH3920 citiesH5892 from him, BethelH1008 with the townsH1323 thereof, and JeshanahH3466 with the townsH1323 thereof, and EphrainH6085 with the townsH1323 thereof.
Neither did JeroboamH3379 recoverH6113 strengthH3581 again in the daysH3117 of AbijahH29: and the LORDH3068 struckH5062 him, and he diedH4191.
But AbijahH29 waxed mightyH2388, and marriedH5375 fourteenH702+H6240 wivesH802, and begatH3205 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 sonsH1121, and sixteenH8337+H6240 daughtersH1323.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AbijahH29, and his waysH1870, and his sayingsH1697, are writtenH3789 in the storyH4097 of the prophetH5030 IddoH5714.

And they gaveH5414 him threescore and tenH7657 pieces of silverH3701 out of the houseH1004 of BaalberithH1170, wherewith AbimelechH40 hiredH7936 vainH7386 and lightH6348 personsH582, which followedH3212 himH310.
Certain menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, are gone outH3318 from amongH7130 you, and have withdrawnH5080 the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which ye have not knownH3045; {the children…: or, naughty men}
And when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 would not hearkenH8085 unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH7725 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? and we have none inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: every manH376 to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: and now, DavidH1732, seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004. So all IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to their tentsH168.
And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he gatheredH6950 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosenH977 men, which were warriorsH6213+H4421, to fightH3898 against IsraelH3478, that he might bringH7725 the kingdomH4467 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346.
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and to all IsraelH3478 in JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004: for this thingH1697 is doneH1961 of me. And they obeyedH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 from goingH3212 against JeroboamH3379.
Then JephthahH3316 fledH1272 fromH6440 his brethrenH251, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of TobH2897: and there were gatheredH3950 vainH7386 menH582 to JephthahH3316, and went outH3318 with him. {from: Heb. from the face}
And setH3427 twoH8147 menH582, sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, before him, to bear witnessH5749 against him, sayingH559, Thou didst blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carry him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he may dieH4191.
So kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 strengthenedH2388 himself in JerusalemH3389, and reignedH4427: for RehoboamH7346 was oneH259 and fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 seventeenH7651+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which the LORDH3068 had chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, to putH7760 his nameH8034 there. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 an AmmonitessH5985.
And every oneH376 that was in distressH4689, and every oneH376 that was in debtH5378, and every oneH376 that was discontentedH4751+H5315, gatheredH6908 themselves unto him; and he became a captainH8269 over them: and there were with him about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. {was in debt: Heb. had a creditor} {discontented: Heb. bitter of soul}
And there cameH935 in twoH8147 menH582, childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and satH3427 before him: and the menH582 of BelialH1100 witnessedH5749 against him, even against NabothH5022, in the presence of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, NabothH5022 did blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. Then they carried him forthH3318 outH2351 of the cityH5892, and stonedH5619 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191.
WoeH337 to thee, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is a childH5288, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in the morningH1242!
They were childrenH1121 of foolsH5036, yea, childrenH1121 of base menH8034: they were vilerH5217 than the earthH776. {base…: Heb. men of no name}
And I will giveH5414 childrenH5288 to be their princesH8269, and babesH8586 shall ruleH4910 over them.
BrethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 childrenG3813 in understandingG5424: howbeitG235 in maliceG2549 be ye childrenG3515, butG1161 in understandingG5424 beG1096 menG5046. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}
He that tillethH5647 his landH127 shall be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899: but he that followethH7291 vainH7386 persons is voidH2638 of understandingH3820.
ForG2532+G1063 when forG1223 the timeG5550 ye oughtG3784 to beG1511 teachersG1320, ye haveG2192 needG5532 that one teachG1321 youG5209 againG3825 whichG5101 be the firstG746 principlesG4747 of the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; andG2532 are become such asG1096 haveG2192 needG5532 of milkG1051, andG2532 notG3756 of strongG4731 meatG5160.
He that tillethH5647 his landH127 shall have plentyH7646 of breadH3899: but he that followethH7291 after vainH7386 persons shall have poverty enoughH7389.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
