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.

He hath not beheldH5027 iniquityH205 in JacobH3290, neither hath he seenH7200 perversenessH5999 in IsraelH3478: the LORDH3068 his GodH430 is with him, and the shoutH8643 of a kingH4428 is among them.
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that goethH1980 with you, to fightH3898 for you against your enemiesH341, to saveH3467 you.
And the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, the priestsH3548, shall blowH8628 with the trumpetsH2689; and they shall be to you for an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755.
For he stretcheth outH5186 his handH3027 against GodH410, and strengthenethH1396 himself against the AlmightyH7706.
And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH3847 upon ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, which stoodH5975 above the peopleH5971, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 GodH430, Why transgressH5674 ye the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, that ye cannot prosperH6743? because ye have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, he hath also forsakenH5800 you. {came…: Heb. clothed}
And when the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 into the campH4264, all IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 rang againH1949.
And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559, What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680? And they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was comeH935 into the campH4264.
And the PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372, for they saidH559, GodH430 is comeH935 into the campH4264. And they saidH559, WoeH188 unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretoforeH865+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day}
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 was by JerichoH3405, that he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over against him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversariesH6862?
And he saidH559, Nay; but as captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the LORDH3068 am I now comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and did worshipH7812, and saidH559 unto him, What saithH1696 my lordH113 unto his servantH5650? {captain: or, prince}
And the captainH8269 of the LORD'SH3068 hostH6635 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, LooseH5394 thy shoeH5275 from off thy footH7272; for the placeH4725 whereon thou standestH5975 is holyH6944. And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 so.
And if ye goH935 to warH4421 in your landH776 againstH6862 the enemy that oppressethH6887 you, then ye shall blow an alarmH7321 with the trumpetsH2689; and ye shall be rememberedH2142 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye shall be savedH3467 from your enemiesH341.
He runnethH7323 upon him, even on his neckH6677, upon the thickH5672 bossesH1354 of his bucklersH4043:
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Wherefore now do ye transgressH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068? but it shall not prosperH6743.
TakeH5779 counselH6098 togetherH5779, and it shall come to noughtH6565; speakH1696 the wordH1697, and it shall not standH6965: for GodH410 is with us.
Some trust in chariotsH7393, and some in horsesH5483: but we will rememberH2142 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to the warH6635, a thousandH505 of every tribeH4294, them and PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, to the warH6635, with the holyH6944 instrumentsH3627, and the trumpetsH2689 to blowH8643 in his handH3027.
And thou shalt gropeH4959 at noondayH6672, as the blindH5787 gropethH4959 in darknessH653, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and spoiledH1497 evermoreH3117, and no man shall saveH3467 thee.
And they shall be as mightyH1368 men, which tread downH947 their enemies in the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351 in the battleH4421: and they shall fightH3898, because the LORDH3068 is with them, and the ridersH7392 on horsesH5483 shall be confoundedH3001. {the riders…: or, they shall make the riders on horses ashamed}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 went onH1980 continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; but the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259, and returnedH7725 into the campH4264: so they didH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they rose earlyH7925 about the dawningH5927 of the dayH7837, and compassedH5437 the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the cityH5892.
And the cityH5892 shall be accursedH2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORDH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. {accursed: or, devoted}
And ye, in any wiseH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the accursed thingH2764, lest ye make yourselves accursedH2763, when ye takeH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curseH2764, and troubleH5916 it. {accursed: or, devoted} {a curse: or, devoted}
But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are consecratedH6944 unto the LORDH3068: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of the LORDH3068. {consecrated: Heb. holiness}
So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 when the priests blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, that the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307, so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. {flat: Heb. under it}
WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378 with his MakerH3335! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559 to him that fashionethH3335 it, What makestH6213 thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027?
He is wiseH2450 in heartH3824, and mightyH533 in strengthH3581: who hath hardenedH7185 himself against him, and hath prosperedH7999?
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, and their righteousnessH6666 is of me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756+G1410 overthrowG2647 itG846; lest haplyG3379 ye be foundG2147 evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314.
Yea, thou shalt go forthH3318 from him, and thine handsH3027 upon thine headH7218: for the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thy confidencesH4009, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in them.
AndG2532 he fellG4098 toG1909 the earthG1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
SayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Shall it prosperH6743? shall he not pull upH5423 the rootsH8328 thereof, and cut offH7082 the fruitH6529 thereof, that it witherH3001? it shall witherH3001 in all the leavesH2964 of her springH6780, even without greatH1419 powerH2220 or manyH7227 peopleH5971 to pluck it upH5375 by the rootsH8328 thereof.
