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 when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}

Even the countryH776 which the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, is a landH776 for cattleH4735, and thy servantsH5650 have cattleH4735:
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}
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 them, and chasedH7291 them unto greatH7227 ZidonH6721, and unto MisrephothmaimH4956, and unto the valleyH1237 of MizpehH4708 eastwardH4217; and they smoteH5221 them, until they leftH7604 them none remainingH8300. {great Zidon: or, Zidonrabbah} {Misrephothmaim: or, Salt pits: Heb.

When I blowH8628 with a trumpetH7782, I and all that are with me, then blowH8628 ye the trumpetsH7782 also on every sideH5439 of all the campH4264, and sayH559, The sword of the LORDH3068, and of GideonH1439.
So GideonH1439, and the hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, cameH935 unto the outsideH7097 of the campH4264 in the beginningH7218 of the middleH8484 watchH821; and they had butH389 newlyH6965 setH6965 the watchH8104: and they blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH5310 the pitchersH3537 that were in their handsH3027.
And the threeH7969 companiesH7218 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH7665 the pitchersH3537, and heldH2388 the lampsH3940 in their leftH8040 handsH3027, and the trumpetsH7782 in their rightH3225 handsH3027 to blowH8628 withal: and they criedH7121, The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, and of GideonH1439.
And they stoodH5975 every manH376 in his place round aboutH5439 the campH4264: and all the hostH4264 ranH7323, and criedH7321, and fledH5127+H5127.
And the threeH7969 hundredH3967 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and the LORDH3068 setH7760 every man'sH376 swordH2719 against his fellowH7453, even throughout all the hostH4264: and the hostH4264 fledH5127 to BethshittahH1029 in ZererathH6888, and to the borderH8193 of AbelmeholahH65, unto TabbathH2888. {in: or, toward} {border: Heb. lip}
And the LORDH3068 discomfitedH2000 SiseraH5516, and all his chariotsH7393, and all his hostH4264, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719 beforeH6440 BarakH1301; so that SiseraH5516 lighted downH3381 off his chariotH4818, and fled awayH5127 on his feetH7272.

Now NaamanH5283, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, was a greatH1419 manH376 withH6440 his masterH113, and honourableH5375, because by him the LORDH3068 had givenH5414 deliveranceH8668 unto SyriaH758: he was also a mightyH1368 manH376 in valourH2428, but he was a leperH6879. {with: Heb. before. honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance. deliverance: or, victory}
