  13:1 ¶
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Judah{gr.Juda}. |
|
13:1 ¶
Now in the eighteenthºº
yearº
of kingº
Jeroboamº
began Abijahº
to reignºº
overº
Judah.º |
|
13:2
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maachah{gr.Maacha}, daughter of Uriel of Gibeon{gr.Gabaon}. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. |
|
13:2
He reignedºº
threeº
yearsº
in Jerusalem.º
His mother'sº
nameº
also [was] Michaiahº
the daughterº
of Urielº
ofº
Gibeah.º
And there wasº
warº
betweenº
Abijahº
and Jeroboam.º |
|
13:3
And Abia set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, [even] four hundred thousand mighty men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, [they were] mighty warriors of the host. |
|
13:3
And Abijahº
setººº
the battleº
in arrayºº
with an armyº
of valiant menº
of war,º
[even] fourº
hundredº
thousandº
chosenºº
men:º
Jeroboamº
also set the battleº
in arrayººº
againstº
him with eightº
hundredº
thousandº
chosenºº
men,º
[being] mighty menº
of valour.º |
|
13:4 ¶
And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear ye, Jeroboam, and all Israel: |
|
13:4 ¶
And Abijahº
stood upºº
uponºº
mountº
Zemaraim,º
whichº
[is] in mountº
Ephraim,º
and said,ºº
Hearºº
me, thou Jeroboam,º
and allº
Israel;º |
|
13:5
[Is it] not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel for ever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt? |
|
13:5
Ought ye notº
to knowºº
thatº
Yahwehº
Elohimº
of Israelº
gaveºº
the kingdomº
overº
Israelº
to Davidº
for ever,º
[even] to him and to his sonsº
by a covenantº
of salt?º |
|
13:6
But Jeroboam the [son] of Nebat{gr.Nabat}, the servant of Solomon [the son] of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master: |
|
13:6
Yet Jeroboamº
the sonº
of Nebat,º
the servantº
of Solomonº
the sonº
of David,º
is risen up,ºº
and hath rebelledºº
againstº
his adon.º |
|
13:7
and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Rehoboam{gr.Roboam} the [son] of Solomon, while Rehoboam{gr.Roboam} was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not. |
|
13:7
And there are gatheredºº
untoº
him vainº
men,ºº
the childrenº
of Belial,º
and have strengthenedºº
themselvesº
againstº
Rehoboamº
the sonº
of Solomon,º
when Rehoboamº
wasº
youngº
and tenderhearted,ºº
and could notº
withstandººº
them.º |
|
13:8
And now ye profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye [are] a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. |
|
13:8
And nowº
yeº
thinkºº
to withstandºº
the kingdomºº
of Yahwehº
in the handº
of the sonsº
of David;º
and yeº
[be] a greatº
multitude,º
and [there are] withº
you goldenº
calves,º
whichº
Jeroboamº
madeºº
you for elohim.º |
|
13:9
Did ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any [other] land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the herd and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god. |
|
13:9
Have ye notº
cast outººº
the priestsº
of Yahweh,ºº
the sonsº
of Aaron,º
and the Levites,º
and have madeºº
you priestsº
after the manner of the nationsº
of [other] lands?º
so that whosoeverº
comethºº
to consecrateººº
himself with a youngºº
bullockº
and sevenº
rams,º
[the same] may beº
a priestº
of [them that are] noº
elohim.º |
|
13:10
But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses |
|
13:10
But as for us,º
Yahwehº
[is] our Elohim,º
and we have notº
forsakenºº
him; and the priests,º
which ministerºº
unto Yahweh,º
[are] the sonsº
of Aaron,º
and the Levitesº
[wait] upon [their] business:º |
|
13:11
they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and [set] the shewbread on the pure table; and [there is] the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him. |
|
13:11
And they burnºº
unto Yahwehº
every morningº
and every eveningº
burnt sacrificesº
and sweetº
incense:º
the shewbreadºº
also [set they in order] uponº
the pureº
table;º
and the candlestickº
of goldº
with the lampsº
thereof, to burnºº
every evening:º
forº
weº
keepººº
the chargeº
of Yahwehº
our Elohim;º
but yeº
have forsakenºº
him. |
|
13:12
And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for ye shall not prosper. |
|
13:12
And, behold,º
Elohimº
himself [is] withº
us for [our] captain,º
and his priestsº
with soundingº
trumpetsº
to cry alarmºº
againstº
you. O childrenº
of Israel,º
fightºº
ye notº
againstº
Yahwehº
Elohimº
of your fathers;º
forº
ye shall notº
prosper.ºº |
|
13:13 ¶
Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he [himself] was before Judah{gr.Juda}, and the ambush behind. |
|
13:13 ¶
But Jeroboamº
causedºº
an ambushmentº
to comeºº
aboutººº
behindºº
them: so they wereº
beforeº
Judah,º
and the ambushmentº
[was] behindºº
them. |
|
13:14
And Judah{gr.Juda} looked back, and, behold, the battle [was] against them before and behind: and they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. |
|
13:14
And when Judahº
looked back,ºº
behold,º
the battleº
[was] beforeº
and behind:º
and they criedºº
unto Yahweh,º
and the priestsº
soundedºººº
with the trumpets.º |
|
13:15
And the men of Judah{gr.Juda} shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Judah{gr.Juda} shouted, that the Lord smote Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Judah{gr.Juda}. |
|
13:15
Then the menº
of Judahº
gave a shout:ºº
and as the menº
of Judahº
shouted,ºº
it came to pass,º
that Elohimº
smoteººº
Jeroboamº
and allº
Israelº
beforeº
Abijahº
and Judah.º |
|
13:16
And the children of Israel fled from before Judah{gr.Juda}; and the Lord delivered them into their hands. |
|
13:16
And the childrenº
of Israelº
fledºº
beforeºº
Judah:º
and Elohimº
deliveredºº
them into their hand.º |
|
13:17
And Abia and his people smote them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men. |
|
13:17
And Abijahº
and his peopleº
slewºº
them with a greatº
slaughter:º
so there fell downºº
slainº
of Israelºº
fiveº
hundredº
thousandº
chosenºº
men.º |
|
13:18
So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Judah{gr.Juda} prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers. |
|
13:18
Thus the childrenº
of Israelº
were broughtºº
underº
at thatº
time,º
and the childrenº
of Judahº
prevailed,ºº
becauseº
they reliedºº
uponº
Yahwehº
Elohimº
of their fathers.º |
|
13:19
And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Bethel{gr.Baethel} and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns. |
|
13:19
And Abijahº
pursuedºº
afterº
Jeroboam,º
and tookºº
citiesº
fromº
him,º
Bethelº
withº
the townsº
thereof, and Jeshanahº
withº
the townsº
thereof, and Ephrainº
with the townsº
thereof. |
|
13:20
And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord smote him, and he died. |
|
13:20
Neitherº
did Jeroboamº
recoverºº
strengthº
againº
in the daysº
of Abijah:º
and Yahwehº
struckºº
him, and he died.ºº |
|
13:21 ¶
But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. |
|
13:21 ¶
But Abijahº
waxed mighty,ºº
and marriedºº
fourteenºº
wives,º
and begatºº
twentyº
and twoº
sons,º
and sixteenºº
daughters.º |
|
13:22
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo. |
|
13:22
And the restº
of the actsº
of Abijah,º
and his ways,º
and his sayings,º
[are] writtenºº
in the storyº
of the prophetº
Iddo.º |
