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 stayH5975 ye not, but pursueH7291 afterH310 your enemiesH341, and smite the hindmostH2179 of them; sufferH5414 them not to enterH935 into their citiesH5892: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027. {smite…: Heb. cut off the tail}
And when AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388, and put awayH5674 the abominable idolsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 which he had takenH3920 from mountH2022 EphraimH669, and renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of the LORDH3068. {abominable…: Heb. abominations}
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 walkedG4043 no moreG3765 openlyG3954 amongG1722 the JewsG2453; butG235 wentG565 thenceG1564 untoG1519 a countryG5561 nearG1451 to the wildernessG2048, intoG1519 a cityG4172 calledG3004 EphraimG2187, and thereG2546 continuedG1304 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3101.
And he tookH3920 it, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof; and they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and utterly destroyedH2763 all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300: as he had doneH6213 to HebronH2275, so he didH6213 to DebirH1688, and to the kingH4428 thereof; as he had doneH6213 also to LibnahH3841, and to her kingH4428.
And the borderH1366 was drawnH8388 from the topH7218 of the hillH2022 unto the fountainH4599 of the waterH4325 of NephtoahH5318, and went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of mountH2022 EphronH6085; and the borderH1366 was drawnH8388 to BaalahH1173, which is KirjathjearimH7157:
And all the citiesH5892 of those kingsH4428, and all the kingsH4428 of them, did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and he utterly destroyedH2763 them, as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
And when the menH582 of IsraelH3478 that were on the other sideH5676 of the valleyH6010, and they that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, sawH7200 that the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127, and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were deadH4191, they forsookH5800 the citiesH5892, and fledH5127; and the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in them.
