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.

For the LevitesH3881 leftH5800 their suburbsH4054 and their possessionH272, and cameH3212 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: for JeroboamH3379 and his sonsH1121 had cast them offH2186 from executing the priest's officeH3547 unto the LORDH3068:
And he madeH6213 an houseH1004 of high placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971, which were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And JeroboamH3379 ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like unto the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}
So he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 which he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 which he had devisedH908 of his own heartH3820; and ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, and burnt incenseH6999. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt…: Heb. to burn incense}
For MosesH4872 had saidH559, Consecrate yourselvesH4390+H3027 to dayH3117 to the LORDH3068, evenH3588 every manH376 upon his sonH1121, and upon his brotherH251; that he may bestowH5414 upon you a blessingH1293 this dayH3117. {For Moses…: or, And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, because every man hath been against his brother, etc} {Consecrate…: Heb. Fill your hands}
And this is the thingH1697 that thou shalt doH6213 unto them to hallowH6942 them, to minister unto me in the priest's officeH3547: TakeH3947 oneH259 youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499, and twoH8147 ramsH352 without blemishH8549,
They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
And he ordainedH5975 him priestsH3548 for the high placesH1116, and for the devilsH8163, and for the calvesH5695 which he had madeH6213.
AfterH310 this thingH1697 JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 not from his evilH7451 wayH1870, but madeH6213 againH7725 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971 priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116: whosoever wouldH2655, he consecratedH4390+H3027 him, and he became one of the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116. {made…: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated…: Heb. filled his hand}
And the priestH3548, whom he shall anointH4886, and whom he shall consecrateH4390+H3027 to minister in the priest's officeH3547 in his father'sH1 stead, shall make the atonementH3722, and shall put onH3847 the linenH906 clothesH899, even the holyH6944 garmentsH899: {consecrate: Heb. fill his hand}
And thus shalt thou doH6213 unto AaronH175, and to his sonsH1121, according to all things which I have commandedH6680 thee: sevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou consecrateH4390+H3027 them.
And have castH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784: for they were no godsH430, but the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68: therefore they have destroyedH6 them. {cast: Heb. given}
The goldH2091 for things of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and for all manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificersH2796. And who then is willingH5068 to consecrateH4390 his serviceH3027 this dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068? {consecrate his service: Heb. fill his hand}
TakeH3947 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 with him, and the garmentsH899, and the anointingH4888 oilH8081, and a bullockH6499 for the sin offeringH2403, and twoH8147 ramsH352, and a basketH5536 of unleavened breadH4682;
Hath a nationH1471 changedH3235 their godsH430, which are yet no godsH430? but my peopleH5971 have changedH4171 their gloryH3519 for that which doth not profitH3276.
For from IsraelH3478 was it also: the workmanH2796 madeH6213 it; therefore it is not GodH430: but the calfH5695 of SamariaH8111 shall be broken in piecesH7616.
MoreoverG2532 ye seeG2334 andG2532 hearG191, thatG3754 notG3756 aloneG3440 at EphesusG2181, butG235 almostG4975 throughout allG3956 AsiaG773, thisG3778 PaulG3972 hath persuadedG3982 and turned awayG3179 muchG2425 peopleG3793, sayingG3004 thatG3754 they beG1526 noG3756 godsG2316, whichG3588 are madeG1096 withG1223 handsG5495:
