| [3]And AbijahH29 setH631 the battleH4421 in arrayH631[H8799] with an armyH2428 of valiant menH1368 of warH4421, even fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977[H8803] menH376: JeroboamH3379 also set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186[H8804] against him with eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977[H8803] menH376, being mighty menH1368 of valourH2428. |

| [4]And AbijahH29 stood upH6965[H8799] upon mountH2022 ZemaraimH6787, which is in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and saidH559[H8799], HearH8085[H8798] me, thou JeroboamH3379, and all IsraelH3478; |

| [5]Ought ye not to knowH3045[H8800] that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414[H8804] the kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 for everH5769, even to him and to his sonsH1121 by a covenantH1285 of saltH4417? |
[No book] |
| [6]Yet JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, is risen upH6965[H8799], and hath rebelledH4775[H8799] against his lordH113. |
[No book] |
| [7]And there are gatheredH6908[H8735] unto him vainH7386 menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and have strengthenedH553[H8691] themselves against RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when RehoboamH7346 was youngH5288 and tenderheartedH7390[H3824], and could not withstandH2388[H8694] themH6440. |
[No book] |
| [8]And now ye thinkH559[H8802] to withstandH2388[H8692] 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[H8804] you for godsH430. |
[No book] |
| [9]Have ye not cast outH5080[H8689] the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213[H8799] you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935[H8802] to consecrateH4390[H8763][H3027] himself with a youngH1121[H1241] bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430. |
[No book] |
| [10]But as for us, the LORDH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not forsakenH5800[H8804] him; and the priestsH3548, which ministerH8334[H8764] unto the LORDH3068, are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 wait upon their businessH4399: |
[No book] |
| [11]And they burnH6999[H8688] 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[H8763] every eveningH6153: for we keepH8104[H8802] the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430; but ye have forsakenH5800 himH8804. |
[No book] |
| [12]And, behold, GodH430 himself is with us for our captainH7218, and his priestsH3548 with soundingH8643 trumpetsH2689 to cry alarmH7321[H8687] against you. O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, fightH3898[H8735] ye not against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1; for ye shall not prosperH6743.[H8686] |
[No book] |
| [13]But JeroboamH3379 caused an ambushmentH3993 to comeH935[H8800] aboutH5437[H8689] behindH310 them: so they were beforeH6440 JudahH3063, and the ambushmentH3993 was behind themH310. |
[No book] |
| [14]And when JudahH3063 looked backH6437[H8799], behold, the battleH4421 was beforeH6440 and behindH268: and they criedH6817[H8799] unto the LORDH3068, and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690[H8688][H8675][H2690][H8764] with the trumpetsH2689. |
[No book] |
| [15]Then the menH376 of JudahH3063 gave a shoutH7321[H8686]: and as the menH376 of JudahH3063 shoutedH7321[H8687], it came to pass, that GodH430 smoteH5062[H8804] JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH29 and JudahH3063. |
[No book] |
| [16]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127[H8799] beforeH6440 JudahH3063: and GodH430 deliveredH5414[H8799] them into their handH3027. |
[No book] |
| [17]And AbijahH29 and his peopleH5971 slewH5221[H8686] them with a greatH7227 slaughterH4347: so there fell downH5307[H8799] slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977[H8803] menH376. |
[No book] |
| [18]Thus the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were broughtH3665[H8735] under at that timeH6256, and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 prevailedH553[H8799], because they reliedH8172[H8738] upon the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. |

| [19]And AbijahH29 pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 JeroboamH3379, and tookH3920[H8799] citiesH5892 from him, BethelH1008 with the townsH1323 thereof, and JeshanahH3466 with the townsH1323 thereof, and EphrainH6085 with the towns thereofH1323. |

| [20]Neither did JeroboamH3379 recoverH6113[H8804] strengthH3581 again in the daysH3117 of AbijahH29: and the LORDH3068 struckH5062[H8799] him, and he diedH4191.[H8799] |
[No book] |
| [21]But AbijahH29 waxed mightyH2388[H8691], and marriedH5375[H8799] fourteenH702[H6240] wivesH802, and begatH3205[H8686] twentyH6242 and twoH8147 sonsH1121, and sixteenH8337[H6240] daughtersH1323. |
