5 G3756 Is it not G1473 to you G1097 to know G3754 that G2962 the lord G3588 G2316 God G* of Israel G1325 appointed G932 the kingdom G3588 to G* David G1909 over G* Israel G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon, G2532 and G3588 to G5207 his sons G1473 G1519 for G1242 a covenant G251 of salt?

G3956 Even every one G3588 G4365 approaching G3588 G4137 filling G3588 G5495 his hand G1473 G1722 with G3448 a calf, G5207 an offspring G1009.3 of the herd, G2532 and G2919.1 [²rams G2033 ¹seven], G2532 and G1096 he becomes G1519 as G2409 a priest G3588 to the one G3361 not G1510.6 being G2316 God.

new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H8083 H6240 Now in the eighteenth H8141 year H4428 of king H3379 Jeroboam H29 began Abijah H4427 [H8799] to reign H3063 over Judah.

2 H4427 [H8804] He reigned H7969 three H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem. H517 His mother's H8034 name H4322 also was Michaiah H1323 the daughter H222 of Uriel H1390 of Gibeah. H4421 And there was war H29 between Abijah H3379 and Jeroboam.

3 H29 And Abijah H631 0 set H4421 the battle H631 [H8799] in array H2428 with an army H1368 of valiant men H4421 of war, H702 even four H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men: H3379 Jeroboam H4421 also set the battle H6186 [H8804] in array H8083 against him with eight H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men, H1368 being mighty men H2428 of valour.

4 H29 And Abijah H6965 [H8799] stood H2022 upon mount H6787 Zemaraim, H2022 which is in mount H669 Ephraim, H559 [H8799] and said, H8085 [H8798] Hear H3379 me, thou Jeroboam, H3478 and all Israel;

5 H3045 [H8800] Ought ye not to know H3068 that the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 [H8804] gave H4467 the kingdom H3478 over Israel H1732 to David H5769 to the age, H1121 even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat, H5650 the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David, H6965 [H8799] hath risen up, H4775 [H8799] and hath rebelled H113 against his sovereign.

7 H6908 [H8735] And there are gathered H7386 to him empty H582 men, H1100 worthless H1121 fellows, H553 [H8691] and they have strengthened H7346 themselves against Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H7346 when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 H3824 and tenderhearted, H2388 [H8694] and could not withstand H6440 them.

8 H559 [H8802] And now ye think H2388 [H8692] to withstand H6440 H4467 the kingdom H3068 of the LORD H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David; H7227 and ye are a great H1995 multitude, H2091 and there are with you golden H5695 calves, H3379 which Jeroboam H6213 [H8804] made H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 [H8689] Have ye not cast out H3548 the priests H3068 of the LORD, H1121 the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites, H6213 [H8799] and have appointed H3548 priests H5971 after the manner of the peoples H776 of other lands? H935 [H8802] so that whoever cometh H4390 H3027 [H8763] to consecrate H1121 H1241 himself with a young H6499 bull H7651 and seven H352 rams, H3548 the same may be a priest H3808 of them that are no H430 gods.

10 H3068 But as for us, the LORD H430 is our God, H5800 [H8804] and we have not forsaken H3548 him; and the priests, H8334 [H8764] who minister H3068 to the LORD, H1121 are the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites H4399 wait upon their business:

11 H6999 [H8688] And they burn H3068 to the LORD H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt sacrifices H5561 and sweet H7004 incense: H3899 H4635 the showbread H2889 also they set in order upon the pure H7979 table; H4501 and the lampstand H2091 of gold H5216 with its lamps, H1197 [H8763] to burn H6153 every evening: H8104 [H8802] for we keep H4931 the charge H3068 of the LORD H430 our God; H5800 [H8804] but ye have forsaken him.

12 H430 And, behold, God H7218 himself is with us for our captain, H3548 and his priests H8643 with sounding H2689 trumpets H7321 [H8687] to shout alarm H1121 against you. O sons H3478 of Israel, H3898 [H8735] fight H3068 ye not against the LORD H430 God H1 of your fathers; H6743 [H8686] for ye shall not prosper.

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambush H935 [H8800] to come H5437 [H8689] about H310 behind H6440 them: so they were at the face of H3063 Judah, H3993 and the ambush H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 And when Judah H6437 [H8799] looked back, H4421 behold, the battle H6440 was at the face of H268 and behind: H6817 [H8799] and they shrieked H3068 to the LORD, H3548 and the priests H2690 H2690 [H8688] sounded H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 [H8686] gave a shout: H376 and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 [H8687] shouted, H430 it came to pass, that God H5062 [H8804] smote H3379 Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel H6440 at the face of H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 And the sons H3478 of Israel H5127 [H8799] fled H6440 at the face of H3063 Judah: H430 and God H5414 [H8799] gave H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 And Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 [H8686] slew H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter: H5307 [H8799] so there fell down H2491 slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the sons H3478 of Israel H3665 [H8735] were subdued H6256 at that time, H1121 and the sons H3063 of Judah H553 [H8799] prevailed, H8172 [H8738] because they relied H3068 upon the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 And Abijah H7291 H310 [H8799] pursued H3379 Jeroboam, H3920 [H8799] and took H5892 cities H1008 from him, Bethel H1323 with its towns, H3466 and Jeshanah H1323 with its towns, H6085 and Ephrain H1323 with its towns.

20 H3379 Neither did Jeroboam H6113 [H8804] recover H3581 strength H3117 again in the days H29 of Abijah: H3068 and the LORD H5062 [H8799] struck H4191 [H8799] him, and he died.

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 [H8691] became mighty, H5375 [H8799] and married H702 H6240 fourteen H802 wives, H3205 [H8686] and begat H6242 twenty H8147 and two H1121 sons, H8337 H6240 and sixteen H1323 daughters.

22 H3499 And the rest H1697 of the acts H29 of Abijah, H1870 and his ways, H1697 and his sayings, H3789 [H8803] are written H4097 in the story H5030 of the prophet H5714 Iddo.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Anno octavodecimo regis Jeroboam, regnavit Abia super Judam. ² Tribus annis regnavit in Jerusalem, nomenque matris ejus Michaia filia Uriel de Gabaa: et erat bellum inter Abiam et Jeroboam. ³ Cumque iniisset Abia certamen, et haberet bellicosissimos viros, et electorum quadringenta millia: Jeroboam instruxit econtra aciem octingenta millia virorum, qui et ipsi electi erant, et ad bella fortissimi. ⁴ Stetit ergo Abia super montem Semeron, qui erat in Ephraim, et ait: Audi, Jeroboam, et omnis Israël. ⁵ Num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israël dederit regnum David super Israël in sempiternum, ipsi et filiis ejus in pactum salis? ⁶ Et surrexit Jeroboam filius Nabat, servus Salomonis filii David, et rebellavit contra dominum suum. ⁷ Congregatique sunt ad eum viri vanissimi, et filii Belial, et prævaluerunt contra Roboam filium Salomonis: porro Roboam erat rudis, et corde pavido, nec potuit resistere eis. ⁸ Nunc ergo vos dicitis quod resistere possitis regno Domini, quod possidet per filios David, habetisque grandem populi multitudinem, atque vitulos aureos quos fecit vobis Jeroboam in deos. ⁹ Et ejecistis sacerdotes Domini, filios Aaron, atque Levitas, et fecistis vobis sacerdotes sicut omnes populi terrarum: quicumque venerit, et initiaverit manum suam in tauro de bobus, et in arietibus septem, fit sacerdos eorum qui non sunt dii. ¹⁰ Noster autem Dominus, Deus est, quem non relinquimus, sacerdotesque ministrant Domino, de filiis Aaron, et Levitæ sunt in ordine suo: ¹¹ holocausta quoque offerunt Domino per singulos dies mane et vespere, et thymiama juxta legis præcepta confectum, et proponuntur panes in mensa mundissima, estque apud nos candelabrum aureum, et lucernæ ejus, ut accendantur semper ad vesperam: nos quippe custodimus præcepta Domini Dei nostri, quem vos reliquistis. ¹² Ergo in exercitu nostro dux Deus est, et sacerdotes ejus, qui clangunt tubis, et resonant contra vos: filii Israël, nolite pugnare contra Dominum Deum patrum vestrorum, quia non vobis expedit. ¹³ Hæc illo loquente, Jeroboam retro moliebatur insidias. Cumque ex adverso hostium staret, ignorantem Judam suo ambiebat exercitu. ¹⁴ Respiciensque Judas, vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum, et clamavit ad Dominum, ac sacerdotes tubis canere cœperunt. ¹⁵ Omnesque viri Juda vociferati sunt: et ecce illis clamantibus, perterruit Deus Jeroboam, et omnem Israël qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Juda. ¹⁶ Fugeruntque filii Israël Judam, et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum. ¹⁷ Percussit ergo eos Abia et populus ejus plaga magna: et corruerunt vulnerati ex Israël quingenta millia virorum fortium. ¹⁸ Humiliatique sunt filii Israël in tempore illo, et vehementissime confortati filii Juda, eo quod sperassent in Domino Deo patrum suorum. ¹⁹ Persecutus est autem Abia fugientem Jeroboam, et cepit civitates ejus, Bethel et filias ejus, et Jesana cum filiabus suis, Ephron quoque et filias ejus: ²⁰ nec valuit ultra resistere Jeroboam in diebus Abia: quem percussit Dominus, et mortuus est. ²¹ Igitur Abia, confortato imperio suo, accepit uxores quatuordecim: procreavitque viginti duos filios, et sedecim filias. ²² Reliqua autem sermonum Abia, viarumque et operum ejus, scripta sunt diligentissime in libro Addo prophetæ.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Yn the eiytenthe yeer of kyng Jeroboam Abia regnede on Juda; ² he regnede thre yeer in Jerusalem; and the name of hise modir was Mychaie, the douyter of Vriel of Gabaa. And batel was bitwixe Abia and Jeroboam. ³ And whanne Abia hadde bigunne batel, and hadde most chyualrouse men, and four hundrid thousynde of chosun men, Jeroboam arayede ayenward the scheltroun with eiyte hundrid thousynde of men, and thei weren chosun men and most stronge to batels. ⁴ Therfor Abia stood on the hil Semeron, that was in Effraym, and seide, Here thou, Jeroboam and al Israel; ⁵ whether ye knowen not, that the Lord God of Israel yaf to Dauid the rewme on Israel with outen ende, to hym and to hise sones in to the couenaunt of salt, `that is, stidefast and stable? ⁶ And Jeroboam, the sone of Nabath, the seruaunt of Salomon, sone of Dauid, roos, and rebellide ayens his lord. ⁷ And most veyn men and the sones of Belial weren gaderid to hym, and thei hadden myyt ayens Roboam, the sone of Salomon. Certis Roboam was buystuouse, `ether fonne, and of feerdful herte, and myyte not ayenstonde hem. ⁸ Now therfor ye seien, that ye moun ayenstonde the rewme of the Lord, which he holdith in possessioun bi the sones of Dauid; and ye han a greet multitude of puple, and goldun caluys, whiche Jeroboam made in to goddis to you. ⁹ And ye han caste a wei the preestis of the Lord, the sones of Aaron, and dekenes, and ye han maad preestis to you, as alle the puplis of londis han preestis; who euer cometh and halewith his hond in a bole, in oxis, and in seuene wetheris, anoon he is maad preest of hem that ben not goddis. ¹⁰ But oure Lord is God, whom we forsaken not; and preestis of the sones of Aaron mynystren to the Lord, and dekenes ben in her ordre; ¹¹ and thei offren brent sacrifices to the Lord bi ech dai in the morewtid and euentid, and encense maad bi comaundementis of the lawe; and loues ben set forth in a moost clene boord; and at vs is the goldun candilstik and his lanterne, that it be teendid euere at euentid; forsothe we kepen the comaundementis of our God, whom ye han forsake. ¹² Therfor God is duyk in oure oost, and hise preestis, that trumpen and sownen ayens you; nyle ye, sones of Israel, fiyte ayens the Lord God of youre fadris, for it spedith not to you. ¹³ While he spak these thingis, Jeroboam made redi tresouns bihynde; and whanne he stood euene ayens the enemyes, he cumpasside with his oost Juda vnwitynge. ¹⁴ And Juda bihelde, and siy batel neiy euene ayens, and bihynde the bak; and he criede to the Lord, and preestis bigunnen for to trumpe. ¹⁵ And alle the men of Juda crieden, and, lo! while thei crieden, God made aferd Jeroboam and al Israel, that stood euen ayens Juda and Abia. ¹⁶ And the men of Israel fledden fro Juda, and God bitook hem in to the hondis of men of Juda. ¹⁷ Therfor Abia and his puple smoot hem with a greet wounde, and there felden doun of hem fyue hundrid thousynde of stronge men woundid. ¹⁸ And the sones of Israel weren maad lowe in that tyme, and the sones of Juda weren coumfortid ful greetli, for thei hadden hopid in the Lord God of her fadris. ¹⁹ Forsothe Abia pursuede Jeroboam fleynge, and took hise cytees, Bethel and hise vilagis, and Jesana with hise vilagis, and Ephron and hise vilagis; ²⁰ and Jeroboam miyte no more ayenstonde in the daies of Abia, whom the Lord smoot, and he was deed. ²¹ Therfor Abia, whanne his empire was coumforted, took fourtene wyues, and he gendride two and twenti sones, and sixtene douytris. ²² The residue of wordis of Abia and of his weyes and werkis, ben writun ful diligentli in the book of Abdo, the profete.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eightenth yeare of kynge Ieroboam, was Abia kynge in Iuda, ² & reigned thre yeare at Ierusalem. His mothers name was Michaia the doughter of Vriel of Gibea. And there was warre betwene Abia and Ieroboam. ³ And Abia prepared himselfe to the battayll with foure hudreth thousande stronge chosen men of warre. But Ieroboam made himselfe ready to fight agaynst him wt eight hundreth thousande chosen men of strength. ⁴ And Abia gatt him vp vpon the hyll Zemaraim, which lyeth vpon mount Ephraim and sayde: Herken vnto me thou Ieroboam and all Israel: ⁵ Knowe ye not that the LORDE God of Israel hath geuen Dauid ye kyngdome of Israel for euer, vnto him and his sonnes with a Salt couenaunt? ⁶ But Ieroboa the sonne of Nebat, the seruaunt of Salomon Dauids sonne, gat him vp & fell awaye from his lorde. ⁷ And there resorted vnto him vagaboundes and children of Belial, and haue strengthed them selues against Roboa the sonne of Salomo: for Roboam was but yonge and of a fearfull hert, and coulde not resiste them. ⁸ Now thinke ye to set youre selues against the kyngdome of the LORDE amonge the sonnes of Dauid, for so moch as there is so greate a multitude of you, and haue ye golden calues yt Ieroboam made for goddes. ⁹ Haue ye not expelled the prestes of the LORDE the children of Aaron and the Leuites? and haue made you prestes of youre awne, euen as the people of the londes? Who so euer commeth to fyll his hande with a yonge bullocke and seuen rammes, shal be preste vnto them that are not goddes. ¹⁰ But with vs is ye LORDE oure God, who we forsake not: and the prestes that minister vnto the LORDE, the children of Aaron and the Leuites in their busines, ¹¹ and euery mornynge and euery euenynge kyndle they the burntofferynges vnto the LORDE, and the swete incense, and prepare the shewbred vpo the pure table, and the golden candilsticke with his lampes, to be kyndled euery euenynge: for we wayte vpo the LORDE oure God.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah, ² and he reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah made a battle with an Host of fighting men of four hundred thousand chosen men. And Jeroboam put in array to fight against him, with eight hundred thousand picked men and strong. ⁴ And Abijah stood up upon Zemaraim a hill in mount Ephraim and said, "Hear me thou Jeroboam and all Israel! ⁵ Becometh it not you to know how the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom of Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons, with a salted covenant. ⁶ But Jeroboam the son of Nebat the servant of Solomon the son of David, rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there gathered to him lewd men and unthrifties, and prevailed against Rehoboam the son of Solomon: for Rehoboam was young and tender hearted and not strong enough for them. ⁸ And now ye think to prevail against the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David, because ye be a great multitude and have with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ And have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests like the nations of other lands? Even whosoever cometh and filleth his hand with an ox and seven rams, the same is made priest to them that are no Gods. ¹⁰ But with us is the LORD our God whom we have not forsaken, and the priests of the sons of Aaron ministering unto the LORD, and the Levites in office: ¹¹ burning unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet cense: and the shewbread put in order upon a pure table: and the candlestick of gold with the lamps of the same, to be lighted every evening. For we keep the watch of the LORD our God: but ye have forsaken him. ¹² Moreover, see: God is with us in the forward; and his priests, and the roaring trumpets to cry alarm against you. Ye children of Israel, fight not with the LORD God of your fathers: for it will not prosper with you." ¹³ But for all that, Jeroboam sent men privily above to come behind upon them: and so they were before Judah, and the layers in wait were behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah turned and saw the battle behind and before, they cried unto the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets ¹⁵ and the men of Judah gave a shout. And as the men of Judah shouted, God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into the hands of Judah. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew a great slaughter of them: so that there were stricken down dead of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And so the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed: because they leaned unto the LORD God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah followed after Jeroboam and won certain cities from him: Bethel with the towns belonging thereto, and Jeshanah with the towns that belonged thereto, and Ephron with her towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam recovered not strength again in the days of Abijah. And at the last, the LORD plagued him, that he died. ²¹ And Abijah waxed mighty, and took him fourteen wives, and begat twenty two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² The rest of the acts of Abijah and his ways and his doings are written in the story of the Prophet Iddo.

Ye chyldren of Israell fight not with the Lorde God of youre fathers: for it wyll not prospere wyth you. ¹³ But for all that Ieroboam sent men pryuelye aboute to come behynd vpon them: and so they were before Iuda, & the layers in wayte were behynd them. ¹⁴ And when Iuda turned and saw the battel behynde and before, they cryed vnto the Lorde, & the priestes blew the trompettes ¹⁵ & the men of Iuda gaue a shoute. And as the men of Iuda shouted, God smote Ieroboam & all Israel before Abiah and Iuda. ¹⁶ And the chyldren of Israel fled before Iuda, & the Lorde delyuered them into the handes of Iuda. ¹⁷ And Abiah and hys people slue a greate slaughter of them, so that there were strycken doune deade of Israel fiue hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And so the chyldren of Israel were brought vnder at that tyme, and the children of Iuda preuayled: because they leaned vnto the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abiah folowed after Ieroboam & wanne certayne cities from him. Bethel with the townes belongynge therto, and Iesanah wyth the townes that longed therto, and Ephron with her townes. ²⁰ And Ieroboam recouered not strength agayne in the dayes of Abiah. And at the last the Lord plaged him, that he dyed. ²¹ And Abiah waxed myghty, and toke hym .xiiij. wyues, and begat .xxij. sonnes, and .xvi. doughters. ²² The rest of the actes of Abiah and his wayes and his doynges are wrytten in the storye of the Prophete Ado.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda. ² Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. ³ And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war. ⁴ And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel: ⁵ Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them. ⁸ And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods. ⁹ And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods. ¹⁰ But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order. ¹¹ And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the loaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken. ¹² Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you. ¹³ While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda, who perceived it not, with his army. ¹⁴ And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets. ¹⁵ And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters. ²⁰ And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.

O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. ¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof. ²⁰ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

4 H29 And Abijah H6965 stood up [H8799] H2022 upon mount H6787 Zemaraim H2022 , which is in mount H669 Ephraim H559 , and said [H8799] H8085 , Hear [H8798] H3379 me, thou Jeroboam H3478 , and all Israel;

5 H3045 Ought ye not to know [H8800] H3068 that the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 gave [H8804] H4467 the kingdom H3478 over Israel H1732 to David H5769 for ever H1121 , even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H5650 , the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David H6965 , is risen up [H8799] H4775 , and hath rebelled [H8799] H113 against his lord.

7 H6908 And there are gathered [H8735] H7386 unto him vain H582 men H1121 , the children H1100 of Belial H553 , and have strengthened [H8691] H7346 themselves against Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon H7346 , when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 and tenderhearted H3824 H2388 , and could not withstand [H8694] H6440 them.

8 H559 And now ye think [H8802] H2388 to withstand [H8692] H6440 the kingdom H4467 H3068 of the LORD H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David H7227 ; and ye be a great H1995 multitude H2091 , and there are with you golden H5695 calves H3379 , which Jeroboam H6213 made [H8804] H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 Have ye not cast out [H8689] H3548 the priests H3068 of the LORD H1121 , the sons H175 of Aaron H3881 , and the Levites H6213 , and have made [H8799] H3548 you priests H5971 after the manner of the nations H776 of other lands H935 ? so that whosoever cometh [H8802] H4390 to consecrate [H8763] H3027 H1121 himself with a young H1241 H6499 bullock H7651 and seven H352 rams H3548 , the same may be a priest H3808 of them that are no H430 gods.

10 H3068 But as for us, the LORD H430 is our God H5800 , and we have not forsaken [H8804] H3548 him; and the priests H8334 , which minister [H8764] H3068 unto the LORD H1121 , are the sons H175 of Aaron H3881 , and the Levites H4399 wait upon their business:

11 H6999 And they burn [H8688] H3068 unto the LORD H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt sacrifices H5561 and sweet H7004 incense H3899 : the shewbread H4635 H2889 also set they in order upon the pure H7979 table H4501 ; and the candlestick H2091 of gold H5216 with the lamps H1197 thereof, to burn [H8763] H6153 every evening H8104 : for we keep [H8802] H4931 the charge H3068 of the LORD H430 our God H5800 ; but ye have forsaken [H8804] him.

12 H430 And, behold, God H7218 himself is with us for our captain H3548 , and his priests H8643 with sounding H2689 trumpets H7321 to cry alarm [H8687] H1121 against you. O children H3478 of Israel H3898 , fight [H8735] H3068 ye not against the LORD H430 God H1 of your fathers H6743 ; for ye shall not prosper [H8686] .

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambushment H935 to come [H8800] H5437 about [H8689] H310 behind H6440 them: so they were before H3063 Judah H3993 , and the ambushment H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 And when Judah H6437 looked back [H8799] H4421 , behold, the battle H6440 was before H268 and behind H6817 : and they cried [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD H3548 , and the priests H2690 sounded [H8688] [H8675] H2690 [H8764] H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 gave a shout [H8686] H376 : and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 shouted [H8687] H430 , it came to pass, that God H5062 smote [H8804] H3379 Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel H6440 before H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5127 fled [H8799] H6440 before H3063 Judah H430 : and God H5414 delivered [H8799] H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 And Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 slew [H8686] H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter H5307 : so there fell down [H8799] H2491 slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen [H8803] H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the children H3478 of Israel H3665 were brought [H8735] H6256 under at that time H1121 , and the children H3063 of Judah H553 prevailed [H8799] H8172 , because they relied [H8738] H3068 upon the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 And Abijah H7291 pursued [H8799] H310 after H3379 Jeroboam H3920 , and took [H8799] H5892 cities H1008 from him, Bethel H1323 with the towns H3466 thereof, and Jeshanah H1323 with the towns H6085 thereof, and Ephrain H1323 with the towns thereof.

20 H3379 Neither did Jeroboam H6113 recover [H8804] H3581 strength H3117 again in the days H29 of Abijah H3068 : and the LORD H5062 struck [H8799] H4191 him, and he died [H8799] .

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 waxed mighty [H8691] H5375 , and married [H8799] H702 fourteen H6240 H802 wives H3205 , and begat [H8686] H6242 twenty H8147 and two H1121 sons H8337 , and sixteen H6240 H1323 daughters.

22 H3499 And the rest H1697 of the acts H29 of Abijah H1870 , and his ways H1697 , and his sayings H3789 , are written [H8803] H4097 in the story H5030 of the prophet H5714 Iddo.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abia began to reign over Juda. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Maacha, a daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. Now there was a war between Abia and Jeroboam. ³ And when Abia had drawn up in array his army consisting of forty thousand fighting men, and Jeroboam had drawn up in array for battle against him with eighty thousand fighting men; ⁴ Abia rose up from mount Somoron which is on mount Ephraim and said, Hearken Jeroboam and all Israel! ⁵ Ought you not to know that the Lord God, the God of Israel, gave the office of king over Israel forever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and fled from his lord, ⁷ and there were gathered to him wicked factious men, so that he rose up against Roboam the son of Solomon, when he was young and faint hearted and unable to withstand him; ⁸ and now you think of rising up against the kingdom of the Lord administered by the suns of David. You indeed are a great multitude, and you have with you the calves of gold which Jeroboam hath made for you to be your gods. ⁹ Have you not expelled the priests of the Lord, the children of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests of the people of every land? Whoever came to consecrate himself with a young bull from the herd, and seven rams, was made a priest to a thing which is no God. ¹⁰ But as for us, we have not forsaken the Lord our God. His priests the sons of Aaron, and the Levites minister to the Lord in their courses. ¹¹ They burn to the Lord, every morning and evening, the whole burnt offering with the sacrifice of compound incense. We have the presence loaves set in order on the pure table, and the golden candlestick with the lamps for light, to be lighted every evening; for we keep the watches of the Lord, the God of our fathers, though you have forsaken him. ¹² Now behold with us, at our head, is the Lord and his priests, and the trumpets of alarm to sound a charge against you. sons of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers, for it will not prosper with you. ¹³ Now Jeroboam had detached an ambuscade to come upon his rear. He was before Juda and the ambuscade was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Juda looked back behold the battle was both in front and in the rear. Thereupon they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded the trumpets, ¹⁵ and the men of Juda shouted. And when the men of Juda shouted, the Lord smote Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda. ¹⁶ And the Israelites fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hands, ¹⁷ so that Abia and his people smote them with a great slaughter, and there fell of Israel, slain, fifty thousand warriors. ¹⁸ And the Israelites were humbled that day, and the sons of Juda prevailed because they trusted in the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abia continued the pursuit after Jeroboam and took from him the following cities, Baithel with the villages thereof, and Jesuna with the villages thereof, and Ephron with the villages thereof. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not again recover strength all the days of Abia. And the Lord smote him and he died; ²¹ but Abia became mighty. Having taken fourteen wives he had twenty two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² Now the rest of the acts of Abia, his transactions and affairs, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor. ⁴ And Abijah stood upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; ⁵ Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat the servant of Solomon the son of David, hath risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there are gathered to him vain men, the children of Belial, and they have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them. ⁸ And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made for you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister to the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: ¹¹ And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-sacrifices and sweet incense: the show-bread also they set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him. ¹² And behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye will not prosper. ¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns. ²⁰ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abijah became mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

1 H8083 H6240 Now in the eighteenth H8141 year H4428 of king H3379 Jeroboam H29 began Abijah H4427 [H8799] to reign H3063 over Judah.

2 H4427 [H8804] He reigned H7969 three H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem H517 . His mother's H8034 name H4322 also was Michaiah H1323 the daughter H222 of Uriel H1390 of Gibeah H4421 . And there was war H29 between Abijah H3379 and Jeroboam.

3 H29 And Abijah H631 0 set H4421 the battle H631 [H8799] in array H2428 with an army H1368 of valiant men H4421 of war H702 , even four H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men H3379 : Jeroboam H4421 also set the battle H6186 [H8804] in array H8083 against him with eight H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men H1368 , being mighty men H2428 of valour.

4 H29 And Abijah H6965 [H8799] stood H2022 upon mount H6787 Zemaraim H2022 , which is in mount H669 Ephraim H559 [H8799] , and said H8085 [H8798] , Hear H3379 me, thou Jeroboam H3478 , and all Israel;

5 H3045 [H8800] Ought ye not to know H3068 that the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 [H8804] gave H4467 the kingdom H3478 over Israel H1732 to David H5769 for ever H1121 , even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H5650 , the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David H6965 [H8799] , hath risen up H4775 [H8799] , and hath rebelled H113 against his lord.

7 H6908 [H8735] And there are gathered H7386 to him worthless H582 men H1100 , base H1121 fellows H553 [H8691] , and they have strengthened H7346 themselves against Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon H7346 , when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 H3824 and tenderhearted H2388 [H8694] , and could not withstand H6440 them.

8 H559 [H8802] And now ye think H2388 [H8692] to withstand H6440 H4467 the kingdom H3068 of the LORD H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David H7227 ; and ye are a great H1995 multitude H2091 , and there are with you golden H5695 calves H3379 , which Jeroboam H6213 [H8804] made H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 [H8689] Have ye not cast out H3548 the priests H3068 of the LORD H1121 , the sons H175 of Aaron H3881 , and the Levites H6213 [H8799] , and have appointed H3548 priests H5971 after the manner of the nations H776 of other lands H935 [H8802] ? so that whoever cometh H4390 H3027 [H8763] to consecrate H1121 H1241 himself with a young H6499 bull H7651 and seven H352 rams H3548 , the same may be a priest H3808 of them that are no H430 gods.

10 H3068 But as for us, the LORD H430 is our God H5800 [H8804] , and we have not forsaken H3548 him; and the priests H8334 [H8764] , who minister H3068 to the LORD H1121 , are the sons H175 of Aaron H3881 , and the Levites H4399 wait upon their business:

11 H6999 [H8688] And they burn H3068 to the LORD H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt sacrifices H5561 and sweet H7004 incense H3899 H4635 : the showbread H2889 also they set in order upon the pure H7979 table H4501 ; and the lampstand H2091 of gold H5216 with its lamps H1197 [H8763] , to burn H6153 every evening H8104 [H8802] : for we keep H4931 the charge H3068 of the LORD H430 our God H5800 [H8804] ; but ye have forsaken him.

12 H430 And, behold, God H7218 himself is with us for our captain H3548 , and his priests H8643 with sounding H2689 trumpets H7321 [H8687] to cry alarm H1121 against you. O children H3478 of Israel H3898 [H8735] , fight H3068 ye not against the LORD H430 God H1 of your fathers H6743 [H8686] ; for ye shall not prosper.

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambush H935 [H8800] to come H5437 [H8689] about H310 behind H6440 them: so they were before H3063 Judah H3993 , and the ambush H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 And when Judah H6437 [H8799] looked back H4421 , behold, the battle H6440 was before H268 and behind H6817 [H8799] : and they cried H3068 to the LORD H3548 , and the priests H2690 H2690 [H8688] sounded H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 [H8686] gave a shout H376 : and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 [H8687] shouted H430 , it came to pass, that God H5062 [H8804] smote H3379 Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel H6440 before H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5127 [H8799] fled H6440 before H3063 Judah H430 : and God H5414 [H8799] delivered H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 And Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 [H8686] slew H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter H5307 [H8799] : so there fell down H2491 slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the children H3478 of Israel H3665 [H8735] were subdued H6256 at that time H1121 , and the children H3063 of Judah H553 [H8799] prevailed H8172 [H8738] , because they relied H3068 upon the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 And Abijah H7291 H310 [H8799] pursued H3379 Jeroboam H3920 [H8799] , and took H5892 cities H1008 from him, Bethel H1323 with its towns H3466 , and Jeshanah H1323 with its towns H6085 , and Ephrain H1323 with its towns.

20 H3379 Neither did Jeroboam H6113 [H8804] recover H3581 strength H3117 again in the days H29 of Abijah H3068 : and the LORD H5062 [H8799] struck H4191 [H8799] him, and he died.

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 [H8691] became mighty H5375 [H8799] , and married H702 H6240 fourteen H802 wives H3205 [H8686] , and begat H6242 twenty H8147 and two H1121 sons H8337 H6240 , and sixteen H1323 daughters.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. 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. ⁴ And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear ye, Jeroboam, and all Israel: 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? ⁶ But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master: ⁷ and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the son of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not. 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. 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 heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god. 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 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. 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 Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he himself was before Juda, and the ambush behind. ¹⁴ And 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. ¹⁵ And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord smote Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands. ¹⁷ And Abia and his people smote them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men. ¹⁸ So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Baethel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord smote him, and he died. ²¹ But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jerobo’am became Abiyah king over Judah. ² Three years he reigned in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Michayahu the daughter of Uriel of Gib’ah. And there was war between Abiyah and Jerobo’am. ³ And Abiyah joined the battle with an army of valiant men of war, even of four hundred thousand chosen men: Jerobo’am also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor. ⁴ And Abiyah stood up above mount Zemarayim, which is in the mountain of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jerobo’am, and all Israel; ⁵ Ought ye not to know that the Lord the God of Israel hath given the kingdom over Israel to David for eternity, yea, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salts? ⁶ But there rose up Jerobo’am the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, and rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there were gathered unto him idle men, worthless persons, and put themselves in violent resistance against Rehobo’am the son of Solomon: while Rehobo’am was young and tender hearted, and could not sustain himself before them. ⁸ And now ye think to sustain yourselves before 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 Jerobo’am hath made for you as gods. ⁹ Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made yourselves priests like the people of the various lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams can become a priest to things that are no gods? ¹⁰ But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron; and the Levites are at their appointed work; ¹¹ And they burn unto the Lord burnt-offerings every morning and every evening and incense of sweet spices; and the rows of the show-bread do they place upon the pure table; and there is the candlestick of gold with its lamps, to light the same every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God, while ye have truly forsaken him. ¹² And, behold, with us at our head, is the true God, with his priests with trumpets for blowing the alarm, to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the Lord the God of your fathers; for ye will not prosper. ¹³ But Jerobo’am caused an ambush to come around behind them: so they themselves were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah turned round, behold, they had the battle before and behind: and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests blew with the trumpets. ¹⁵ And then gave the men of Judah a shout: and it came to pass, as the men of Judah shouted, that God struck down Jerobo’am and all Israel before Abiyah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled from before Judah, and God gave them up into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abiyah and his people smote them with a great defeat, and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus were the children of Israel humbled at that time: and the children of Judah became powerful, because they relied upon the Lord the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abiyah made pursuit after Jerobo’am, and captured cities from him, Bethel with its villages, and Jeshanah with its villages, and ‘Ephrayin with its villages. ²⁰ And Jerobo’am did not recover strength again in the days of Abiyahu: and the Lord struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abiyahu became strong, and he took himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abiyah, and his ways, and his speeches, are written in the writing of the prophet ‘Iddo.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam—Abijah reigneth over Judah; ² three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of his mother is Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah,) and war hath been between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah directeth the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam hath set in array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty of valour. ⁴ And Abijah riseth up on the hill of Zemaraim that is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and saith, `Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel! ⁵ Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and to his sons—a covenant of salt? ⁶ and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebelleth against his lord! ⁷ `And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and hath not strengthened himself against them. ⁸ `And now, ye are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye are a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that Jeroboam hath made to you for gods. ⁹ `Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the peoples of the lands? every one who hath come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he hath been a priest to No-gods! ¹⁰ `As for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to Jehovah, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work, ¹¹ and are making perfume to Jehovah, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and the arrangement of bread is on the pure table, and the candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of Jehovah our God, and ye—ye have forsaken Him. ¹² `And lo, with us—at our head—is God, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, God of your fathers, for ye do not prosper.'
¹³ And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush is behind them. ¹⁴ And Judah turneth, and lo, against them is the battle, before and behind, and they cry to Jehovah, and the priests are blowing with trumpets, ¹⁵ and the men of Judah shout—and it cometh to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand, ¹⁷ and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Jehovah, God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursueth after Jeroboam, and captureth from him cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth. ²¹ And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters, ²² and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the `Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.

And war was between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah will bind on the battle with the strength of the strong ones of war, four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam arranged the battle with him with eight hundred thou. sand, each chosen, strong of power. ⁴ And Abijah will rise up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and he will say, Hear me, Jeroboam, and all Israel; ⁵ Is it not to you to know that Jehovah God of Israel gave the kingdom to David over Israel forever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ And Jeroboam son of Nebat servant of Solomon son of David, will rise up and will rebel against his lord. ⁷ And vain men will gather together to him, sons of Belial; and they will strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon; and Rehoboam being young and tender of heart, and he was not strong before them. ⁸ And now ye saying to be strengthened before the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye a great multitude, and with you calves of gold which Jeroboam made for you for gods. ⁹ Did ye not thrust out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron and the Levites? and ye will make to you priests according to the peoples of the lands, every one coming to fill his hand with a bullock, son of the cow, and seven rams; and he was priest to no God. ¹⁰ And we, Jehovah is our God, and we forsook him not; and the priests serving to Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in the work: ¹¹ And burning to Jehovah the burnt-offering in the morning, in the morning, and in the evening, in the evening, and incense of spices, and the arrangement of bread upon the pure table; and the chandelier of gold and its lamps to burn in the evening, in the evening: for we watch the watches of Jehovah our God; and ye forsook him. ¹² And behold, with us God for head, and his priests and trumpets of loud noise to cry against you. O ye sons of Israel, ye shall not wage war with Jehovah God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper. ¹³ And Jeroboam turned about an ambush to come from behind them: and they will be before Judah, and the ambush from behind them. ¹⁴ And Judah will turn, and behold, to them the war before and behind: and they will cry out to Jehovah and the priests trumpeting with the trumpets. ¹⁵ And the men of Judah will shout: and it will be in the shouting of the men of Judah, and God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel will flee from the face of Judah: and God will give them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people will strike upon them a great blow: and there will fall wounded from Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel will be subdued in that time, and the sons of Judah will be strong, for they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah will pursue after Jeroboam, and he will take cities from him, the house of God and its daughters, and Jeshanah and its daughters, and Ephraim and its daughters. ²⁰ And Jeroboam retained no more strength in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah will smite him and he will die. ²¹ And Abijah will be strengthened, and he will take to him fourteen wives, and he will beget twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the words of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, being written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

3 H29 And Abijah H631 joined H4421 battle H631 with H2428 an army H1368 of valiant men H4421 of war, H702 even four H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H1368 men: H3379 and Jeroboam H4421 set the battle H6186 in array H8083 against him with eight H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men, H376 who were mighty men H2428 of valor.

4 H29 And Abijah H6965 stood up H2022 upon mount H6787 Zemaraim, H2022 which is in the hill-country H669 of Ephraim, H559 and said, H8085 Hear H3379 me, O Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel:

5 H3045 Ought ye not to know H3068 that Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H5414 gave H4467 the kingdom H3478 over Israel H1732 to David H5769 for ever, H1121 even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat, H5650 the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David, H6965 rose up, H4775 and rebelled H113 against his lord.

7 H6908 And there were gathered H1100 unto him worthless H582 men, H1100 base H1121 fellows, H553 that strengthened H7346 themselves against Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H7346 when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 and tender-hearted, H2388 and could not withstand H6440 them.

8 H559 And now ye think H2388 to withstand H6440 the kingdom H3068 of Jehovah H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David; H7227 and ye are a great H1995 multitude, H2091 and there are with you the golden H5695 calves H3379 which Jeroboam H6213 made H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 Have ye not driven out H3548 the priests H3068 of Jehovah, H1121 the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites, H6213 and made H3548 you priests H5971 after the manner of the peoples H776 of other lands?

11 H6999 and they burn H3068 unto Jehovah H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt-offerings H5561 and sweet H7004 incense: H3899 the showbread H2889 also set they in order upon the pure H7979 table; H4501 and the candlestick H2091 of gold H5216 with the lamps H1197 thereof, to burn H6153 every evening: H8104 for we keep H4931 the charge H3068 of Jehovah H430 our God; H5800 but ye have forsaken him.

12 H430 And, behold, God H7218 is with us at our head, H3548 and his priests H2689 with the trumpets H7321 of alarm H7321 to sound an alarm H1121 against you. O children H3478 of Israel, H3898 fight H3068 ye not against Jehovah, H430 the God H1 of your fathers; H6743 for ye shall not prosper.

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambushment H935 to come H5437 about H310 behind H6440 them: so they were before H3063 Judah, H3993 and the ambushment H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 And when Judah H6437 looked back, H4421 behold, the battle H6440 was before H268 and behind H6817 them; and they cried H3068 unto Jehovah, H3548 and the priests H2690 sounded H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 gave a shout: H376 and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 shouted, H430 it came to pass, that God H5062 smote H3379 Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel H6440 before H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5127 fled H6440 before H3063 Judah; H430 and God H5414 delivered H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 And Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 slew H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter: H5307 so there fell down H2491 slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the children H3478 of Israel H3665 were brought H6256 under at that time, H1121 and the children H3063 of Judah H553 prevailed, H8172 because they relied H3068 upon Jehovah, H430 the God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 And Abijah H7291 pursued H310 after H3379 Jeroboam, H3920 and took H5892 cities H1008 from him, Beth-el H1323 with the towns H3466 thereof, and Jeshanah H1323 with the towns H6085 thereof, and Ephron H1323 with the towns thereof.

20 H3379 Neither did Jeroboam H6113 recover H3581 strength H3117 again in the days H29 of Abijah: H3068 and Jehovah H5062 smote H4191 him, and he died.

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 waxed mighty, H5375 and took H702 unto himself fourteen H802 wives, H3205 and begat H6242 twenty H8147 and two H1121 sons, H8337 and sixteen H1323 daughters.

22 H3499 And the rest H1697 of the acts H29 of Abijah, H1870 and his ways, H1697 and his sayings, H3789 are written H4097 in the commentary H5030 of the prophet H5714 Iddo.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. ² Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valour. ⁴ And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said: 'Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel; ⁵ ought ye not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there were gathered unto him vain men, base fellows that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and could not withstand them. ⁸ And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Have ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same becometh a priest of them that are no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and we have priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work; ¹¹ and they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the showbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken Him. ¹² And, behold, God is with us at our head, and His priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.' ¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. ²⁰ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD smote him, and he died. ²¹ But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, began Abijah to reign over Judah: ² three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and, the name of his mother, was Maacah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah,––and there was, war, between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah began the war with a force of heroes of war, four hundred thousand chosen men,––and, Jeroboam, set in array against him to battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, heroes of valour. ⁴ And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim,––and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel! ⁵ Is it not yours to know, that, Yahweh God of Israel gave the kingdom to David, over Israel, unto times age–abiding,––to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet hath Jeroboam son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, risen up,––and rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of the Abandoned One, who emboldened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon,–when, Rehoboam, was young and tender of heart, and had not strengthened himself to meet them. ⁸ Now, therefore, ye, are thinking to strengthen yourselves against the kingdom of Yahweh, in the hand of the sons of David,––and, ye, are a great multitude, and, with you, are calves of gold, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods. ⁹ Have ye not driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites,––and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of the countries? Whosoever cometh to install himself with a young bullock, and seven rams, then becometh he a priest unto the, no–gods. ¹⁰ But, as for us, Yahweh, is our God, and we have not forsaken him,––and, the priests who are waiting upon Yahweh, are sons of Aaron, with Levites in the work; ¹¹ and they are making a perfume unto Yahweh, with ascending–sacrifices morning by morning, and evening by evening and an incense of sweet spices, and are putting in order bread upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, for lighting up evening by evening, for, observant, are we of the charge of Yahweh our God,––whereas, ye, have forsaken him. ¹² And lo! with us as Head, is God himself, and his priests, and the trumpets of alarm, to sound an alarm against you,––O sons of Israel! do not fight against Yahweh God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper.
¹³ But, Jeroboam, sent round an ambush, to come up from behind them,––so they were before Judah and, the ambush, did come up from behind them. ¹⁴ And, when Judah turned and lo! as for them, the battle was before and behind, then made they outcry unto Yahweh,––and, the priests, kept on blowing with the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout,––and it came to pass, when the men of Judah shouted, then, God himself, smote Jeroboam and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel fled from before Judah,––and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people smote among them with a great smiting,––and there fell down slain, of Israel, five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus were the sons of Israel subdued at that time,––and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they leaned upon Yahweh the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and captured from him, cities, even Bethel, with the villages thereof, and Jeshanah, with the villages thereof,––and Ephron, with the villages thereof; ²⁰ neither was Jeroboam strong any more, in the days of Abijah,––and Yahweh smote him that he died. ²¹ And Abijah strengthened himself, and took him, fourteen wives,––and begat twenty–two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And, the rest of the story of Abijah, both his ways and his words,––are written, in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam--Abijah reigns over Judah; ² three years he has reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah,) and war has been between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah directs the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam has set in array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty of valor. ⁴ And Abijah rises up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, `Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel!" ⁵ Is it not for you to know that Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, has given the kingdom to David over Israel to the eon, to him and to his sons--a covenant of salt? ⁶ and rise up does Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebels against his lord!" ⁷ `And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and has not strengthened himself against them. ⁸ `And now, you are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David, and you [are] a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that Jeroboam has made to you for elohims. ⁹ `Have you not cast out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the peoples of the lands? every one who has come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he has been a priest to No-elohims!" ¹⁰ `As for us, Yahweh [is] our Elohim, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to Yahweh, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work, ¹¹ and are making perfume to Yahweh, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of Yahweh our Elohim, and you--you have forsaken Him. ¹² `And lo, with us--at [our] head--[is] Elohim, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with Yahweh, Elohim of your fathers, for you do not prosper.. ¹³ And Jeroboam has brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them. ¹⁴ And Judah turns, and lo, against them [is] the battle, before and behind, and they cry to Yahweh, and the priests are blowing with trumpets, ¹⁵ and the men of Judah shout--and it comes to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that Elohim has smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and Elohim gives them into their hand, ¹⁷ and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Yahweh, Elohim of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursues after Jeroboam, and captures from him cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam has not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Yahweh smites him, and he dies. ²¹ And Abijah strengthens himself, and takes to him fourteen wives, and begets twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters, ²² and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the `Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. ² He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah went out to the fight with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand of his best men; and Jeroboam put his forces in line against him, eight hundred thousand of his best men of war. ⁴ And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel: ⁵ Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt? ⁶ But Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, the son of David, took up arms against his lord. ⁷ And certain foolish and good-for-nothing men were joined with him, and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and untested and not able to keep them back. ⁸ And now it is your purpose to put yourselves against the authority which the Lord has put into the hands of the sons of David, and you are a very great number, and you have with you the gold oxen which Jeroboam made to be your gods. ⁹ And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest of those who are no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not been turned away from him; we have priests who do the work of the Lord, even the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their places; ¹¹ By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him. ¹² And now God is with us at our head, and his priests with their loud horns sounding against you. O children of Israel, do not make war on the Lord, the God of your fathers, for it will not go well for you. ¹³ But Jeroboam had put some of his men to make a surprise attack on them from the back, so some were facing Judah and others were stationed secretly at their back. ¹⁴ And Judah, turning their faces, saw that they were being attacked in front and at the back; and they gave a cry for help to the Lord, while the priests were sounding their horns. ¹⁵ And the men of Judah gave a loud cry; and at their cry, God put fear into Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel went in flight before Judah, and God gave them up into their hands. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people put them to death with great destruction: five hundred thousand of the best of Israel were put to the sword. ¹⁸ So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him. ²¹ But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are recorded in the account of the prophet Iddo.

Jeroboam also set the battle in order against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty men of valor. ⁴ And Abijah stood up on mount Zemaraim, in the hills of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel. ⁵ Should you not know that Jehovah, the God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up and has rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there are gathered to him vain men, the sons of Belial, and have made themselves strong against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted and could not withstand them. ⁸ And now you think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hands of the sons of David. And you are a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Have you not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made priests to yourselves like the peoples of the lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, he may be a priest of those who are no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken Him. And the priests who minister to Jehovah are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in the work. ¹¹ And they burn to the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense, and the showbread on the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening. For we keep the charge of Jehovah our God. But you have forsaken Him. ¹² And behold, God Himself is with us as Commander, and His priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against Jehovah, the God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper! ¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come around behind them, so that they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ And Judah turned, and, behold, the battle was before and behind. And they cried to Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ And the men of Judah shouted. And it happened as the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel fled before Judah. And God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter. And there fell down dead five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel were humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah won because they relied on Jehovah, the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its villages, and Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah. And Jehovah struck him and he died. ²¹ And Abijah became mighty, and married fourteen wives, and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the inquiry of the prophet Iddo.

Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he becomes a priest to no gods. ¹⁰ As for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; yea, priests are serving Jehovah, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work, ¹¹ and are offering to Jehovah burnt offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and sweet incense, and the Bread of Arrangement on the pure table, and the golden lampstand and its lamps, to burn evening by evening.

ABI YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH
In the eighteenth year of sovereign Yarob Am Abi Yah begins to reign over Yah Hudah: ² he reigns three years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Michah Yah the daughter of Uri El of Gibah. And so be it, war between Abi Yah and between Yarob Am: ³ and Abi Yah lines up for war with an army of mighty of valour - four hundred thousand chosen men: and Yarob Am lines up in war against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men mighty of valour. ⁴ And Abi Yah rises on mount Semarayim, in mount Ephrayim, and says, Hear me, you Yarob Am and all Yisra El; ⁵ Ought you not to know that Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El gives the sovereigndom over Yisra El to David eternally? - to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ And Yarob Am the son of Nebat, the servant of Shelomoh the son of David, rises and rebels against his adoni! ⁷ And vain men, the sons of Beli Yaal gather to him and strengthen themselves against Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: and Rechab Am is a lad of tender heart and cannot strengthen himself at their face. ⁸ And now you say to strengthen yourselves at the face of the sovereigndom of Yah Veh in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude; and golden calves with you which Yarob Am worked you for elohim. ⁹ Expelled you not the priests of Yah Veh - the sons of Aharon and the Leviym? And worked priests after the manner of the nations of lands? So that whoever comes to fill his hand with a steer the son of an ox and seven rams, becomes a priest of a non-elohim. ¹⁰ As for us, Yah Veh is our Elohim and we forsake him not; and the priests, who minister to Yah Veh, are the sons of Aharon and the Leviym in the work: ¹¹ and they incense to Yah Veh morning by morning and evening by evening holocausts and incense of aromatics; the arrangement bread on the pure table; and the menorah of gold with the lamps thereof to burn evening by evening: for we guard the guard of Yah Veh our Elohim; but you - you forsook him. ¹² And behold, with us - Elohim for head and his priests with blasting trumpets to blast against you. O sons of Yisra El, fight not against Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; for you prosper not. ¹³ And Yarob Am lurks around behind them: so they are at the face of Yah Hudah and they lurk behind them: ¹⁴ and Yah Hudah turns to face back, and behold, the war is at their face and behind: and they cry to Yah Veh and the priests trumpet the trumpets: ¹⁵ and the Yah Hudiy give a shout: and the Yah Hudiy shout, and so be it, Elohim smites Yarob Am and all Yisra El at the face of Abi Yah and Yah Hudah: ¹⁶ and the sons of Yisra El flee the face of Yah Hudah: and Elohim gives them into their hand; ¹⁷ and Abi Yah and his people smite them with a great stroke: so there fall down, pierced of Yisra El, five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And at that time, they subdue sons of Yisra El, and the sons of Yah Hudah strengthen, because they lean on Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abi Yah pursues Yarob Am and captures cities from him: Beth El with the daughters thereof and Yeshanah with the daughters thereof and Ephrain with the daughters thereof. ²⁰ Yarob Am retains no force in the days of Abi Yah: and Yah Veh smites him and he dies. ²¹ And Abi Yah strengthens and has fourteen women and births twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the words of Abi Yah and his ways and his words, are inscribed in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men. And Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men who were mighty men of valor. ⁴ And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel. ⁵ Should ye not know that LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them. ⁸ And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of LORD in the hand of the sons of David, and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Have ye not driven out the priests of LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for you after the manner of the peoples of other lands? So that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. And we have priests ministering to LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work. ¹¹ And they burn to LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. Also they set the showbread in order upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps of it to burn every evening. For we keep the charge of LORD our God, but ye have forsaken him. ¹² And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O sons of Israel, fight ye not against LORD, the God of your fathers. For ye shall not prosper. ¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come around behind them, so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them.

1 H8083 In the eighteenth H8141 year H4428 of king H3379 Jeroboam H29 began Abijah H4427 to reign H3063 over Judah.

2 H4427 He reigned H7969 three H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem: H517 and his mother's H8034 name H4322 was Micaiah H1323 the daughter H222 of Uriel H1390 of Gibeah. H4421 There was war H29 between Abijah H3379 and Jeroboam.

3 H29 Abijah H631 joined H4421 battle H631 with H2428 an army H1368 of valiant men H4421 of war, H702 even four H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H1368 men: H3379 and Jeroboam H4421 set the battle H6186 in array H8083 against him with eight H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men, H376 who were mighty men H2428 of valor.

4 H29 Abijah H6965 stood up H2022 on Mount H6787 Zemaraim, H2022 which is in the hill H669 country of Ephraim, H559 and said, H8085 "Hear H3379 me, Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel:

5 H3045 Ought you not to know H3068 that Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H5414 gave H4467 the kingdom H3478 over Israel H1732 to David H5769 forever, H1121 even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat, H5650 the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David, H6965 rose up, H4775 and rebelled H113 against his lord.

7 H6908 There were gathered H1100 to him worthless H582 men, H1100 base H582 fellows, H553 who strengthened H7346 themselves against Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H7346 when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 and tenderhearted, H2388 and could not withstand H6440 them.

8 H559 "Now you think H2388 to withstand H6440 the kingdom H3068 of Yahweh H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David; H7227 and you are a great H1995 multitude, H2091 and there are with you the golden H5695 calves H3379 which Jeroboam H6213 made H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 Haven't you driven out H3548 the priests H3068 of Yahweh, H1121 the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites, H6213 and made H3548 priests H5971 for yourselves after the ways of the peoples H776 of other lands? H935 so that whoever comes H4390 to consecrate H1121 himself with a young H6499 bull H7651 and seven H352 rams, H3548 the same may be a priest H3808 of those who are no H430 gods.

10 H3068 "But as for us, Yahweh H430 is our God, H5800 and we have not forsaken H3548 him; and we have priests H8334 ministering H3068 to Yahweh, H1121 the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites H4399 in their work:

11 H6999 and they burn H3068 to Yahweh H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt offerings H5561 and sweet H7004 incense. H3899 They also set the show bread H2889 in order on the pure H7979 table; H4501 and the lampstand H2091 of gold H5216 with its lamps, H1197 to burn H6153 every evening: H8104 for we keep H4931 the instruction H3068 of Yahweh H430 our God; H5800 but you have forsaken him.

12 H430 Behold, God H7218 is with us at our head, H3548 and his priests H2689 with the trumpets H7321 of alarm H7321 to sound an alarm H1121 against you. Children H3478 of Israel, H3898 don't fight H3068 against Yahweh, H430 the God H1 of your fathers; H6743 for you shall not prosper."

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambush H935 to come H5437 about H310 behind H6440 them: so they were before H3063 Judah, H3993 and the ambush H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 When Judah H6437 looked back, H4421 behold, the battle H6440 was before H268 and behind H6817 them; and they cried H3068 to Yahweh, H3548 and the priests H2690 sounded H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 gave a shout: H376 and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 shouted, H430 it happened, that God H5062 struck H3379 Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel H6440 before H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H5127 fled H6440 before H3063 Judah; H430 and God H5414 delivered H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 killed H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter: H5307 so there fell down H2491 slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the children H3478 of Israel H3665 were brought H6256 under at that time, H1121 and the children H3063 of Judah H553 prevailed, H8172 because they relied H3068 on Yahweh, H430 the God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 Abijah H7291 pursued H310 after H3379 Jeroboam, H3920 and took H5892 cities H1008 from him, Bethel H1323 with its towns, H3466 and Jeshanah H1323 with its towns, H6085 and Ephron H1323 with its towns.

20 H3379 Jeroboam H6113 didn't recover H3581 strength H3117 again in the days H29 of Abijah. H3068 Yahweh H5062 struck H4191 him, and he died.

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 grew mighty, H5375 and took H702 to himself fourteen H802 wives, H3205 and became the father H6242 of twenty - H8147 two H1121 sons, H8337 and sixteen H1323 daughters.

22 H3499 The rest H1697 of the acts H29 of Abijah, H1870 and his ways, H1697 and his sayings, H3789 are written H4097 in the commentary H5030 of the prophet H5714 Iddo.

1 H6240 Now in the eighteenth H8141 year H4428 of king H3379 Jeroboam H29 began Abijah H4427 to reign H5921 over H3063 Judah.

2 H4427 He reigned H7969 three H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem. H517 His mother’s H8034 name H4322 also was Michaiah H1323 the daughter H222 of Uriel H1390 of Gibeah. H4421 And there was war H996 between H29 Abijah H3379 and Jeroboam.

3 H29 And Abijah H631 set H4421 the battle H631 in array H2428 with an army H1368 of valiant H4421 men of war, H702 even four H3967 hundred H7239 thousand H505 H970 chosen H376 men: H3379 Jeroboam H4421 also set the battle H6186 in array H5973 against H8083 him with eight H3967 hundred H7239 thousand H505 H970 chosen H376 men, H1368 being mighty H2428 men of valor.

4 H29 And Abijah H6965 stood H2022 up on mount H6787 Zemaraim, H834 which H2022 is in mount H669 Ephraim, H559 and said, H8085 Hear H3379 me, you Jeroboam, H3605 and all H3478 Israel;

5 H3045 Ought you not to know H3068 that the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 gave H4467 the kingdom H5921 over H3478 Israel H1732 to David H5769 for ever, H1121 even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat, H5650 the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David, H6965 is risen H4775 up, and has rebelled H5921 against H113 his lord.

7 H6908 And there are gathered H7386 to him vain H582 men, H1121 the children H1100 of Belial, H553 and have strengthened H5921 themselves against H7346 Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H7346 when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 and tenderhearted, H3824 H2388 and could not withstand them.

8 H6258 And now H559 you think H2388 to withstand H4467 the kingdom H3068 of the LORD H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David; H7227 and you be a great H1995 multitude, H2091 and there are with your golden H5695 calves, H834 which H3379 Jeroboam H6213 made H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 Have you not cast H3548 out the priests H3068 of the LORD, H1121 the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites, H6213 and have made H3548 you priests H5971 after the manner of the nations H776 of other lands? H3605 so that whoever H935 comes H3027 to consecrate H3027 himself H1121 with a young H1241 H6499 bullock H7651 and seven H352 rams, H3548 the same may be a priest H3808 of them that are no H430 gods.

10 H3068 But as for us, the LORD H430 is our God, H5800 and we have not forsaken H3548 him; and the priests, H8334 which minister H3068 to the LORD, H1121 are the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites H4399 wait on their business:

11 H6999 And they burn H3068 to the LORD H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt H5561 sacrifices and sweet H7004 incense: H3899 the show bread H4635 H2889 also set they in order on the pure H7979 table; H4501 and the candlestick H2091 of gold H5216 with the lamps H1197 thereof, to burn H6153 every evening: H8104 for we keep H4931 the charge H3068 of the LORD H430 our God; H5800 but you have forsaken him.

12 H2009 And, behold, H430 God H7218 himself is with us for our captain, H3548 and his priests H8643 with sounding H2689 trumpets H7321 to cry H7321 alarm H5921 against H1121 you. O children H3478 of Israel, H3898 fight H5973 you not against H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of your fathers; H6743 for you shall not prosper.

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambush H935 to come H5437 about H310 behind H6440 them: so they were before H3063 Judah, H3993 and the ambush H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 And when Judah H6437 looked H6437 back, H2009 behold, H4421 the battle H6440 was before H268 and behind: H6817 and they cried H3068 to the LORD, H3548 and the priests H2690 sounded H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 gave a shout: H376 and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 shouted, H1961 it came H430 to pass, that God H5062 smote H3379 Jeroboam H3605 and all H3478 Israel H6440 before H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5127 fled H6440 before H3063 Judah: H430 and God H5414 delivered H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 And Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 slew H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter: H5307 so there fell H2491 down slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H7239 thousand H505 H970 chosen H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the children H3478 of Israel H3665 were brought H6256 under at that time, H1121 and the children H3063 of Judah H553 prevailed, H3588 because H8172 they relied H3068 on the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 And Abijah H7291 pursued H310 after H3379 Jeroboam, H3920 and took H5892 cities H1008 from him, Bethel H1323 with the towns H3466 thereof, and Jeshanah H1323 with the towns H6085 thereof, and Ephraim H1323 with the towns thereof.

20 H3808 Neither H3379 did Jeroboam H6113 recover H3581 strength H5750 again H3117 in the days H29 of Abijah: H3068 and the LORD H5062 struck H4191 him, and he died.

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 waxed mighty, H5375 and married H702 fourteen H6246 H802 wives, H3205 and begat H6242 twenty H8147 and two H1121 sons, H8337 and sixteen H6240 H1323 daughters.

And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. ⁴ And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, you Jeroboam, and all Israel; ⁵ Ought all of you not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up, and has rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. ⁸ And now all of you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and all of you be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Have all of you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: ¹¹ And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the showbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but all of you have forsaken him. ¹² And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight all of you not against the LORD God of your fathers; for all of you shall not prosper. ¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. ¹⁴ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God stroke Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof. ²⁰ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and brings forth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

1 H8083 Now in the eighteenth H8141 year H4428 of king H3379 Jeroboam H29 began Abijah H4427 to reign H3063 over Judah.

2 H4427 He reigned H7969 three H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem. H517 His mother's H8034 name H4322 also was Michaiah H1323 the daughter H222 of Uriel H1390 of Gibeah. H4421 And there was war H29 between Abijah H3379 and Jeroboam.

3 H29 And Abijah H631 set H4421 the battle H631 in array H2428 with an army H1368 of valiant men H4421 of war, H702 even four H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men: H3379 Jeroboam H4421 also set the battle H6186 in array H8083 against him with eight H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men, H1368 being mighty men H2428 of valor.

4 H29 And Abijah H6965 stood up H2022 upon mountain H6787 Zemaraim, H2022 which is in mountain H669 Ephraim, H559 and said, H8085 Hear H3379 me, you Jeroboam, H3478 and all Israel;

5 H3045 Should you not know H3068 that the Lord H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 gave H4467 the kingdom H3478 over Israel H1732 to David H5769 for ever, H1121 even to him and to his sons H1285 by a covenant H4417 of salt?

6 H3379 Yet Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat, H5650 the servant H8010 of Solomon H1121 the son H1732 of David, H6965 is risen up, H4775 and has rebelled H113 against his lord.

7 H6908 And there are gathered H7386 unto him vain H582 men, H1121 the sons H1100 of Belial, H553 and have strengthened H7346 themselves against Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon, H7346 when Rehoboam H5288 was young H7390 and tenderhearted, H2388 and could not withstand H6440 them.

8 H559 And now you think H2388 to withstand H6440 the kingdom H3068 of the Lord H3027 in the hand H1121 of the sons H1732 of David; H7227 and you be a great H1995 multitude, H2091 and there are with you golden H5695 calves, H3379 which Jeroboam H6213 made H430 you for gods.

9 H5080 Have you not cast out H3548 the priests H3068 of the Lord, H1121 the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites, H6213 and have made H3548 you priests H5971 after the manner of the nations H776 of other lands? H935 so that whoever comes H4390 to consecrate H1121 himself with a young H6499 bullock H7651 and seven H352 rams, H3548 the same may be a priest H3808 of them that are no H430 gods.

10 H3068 But as for us, the Lord H430 is our God, H5800 and we have not forsaken H3548 him; and the priests, H8334 which minister H3068 unto the Lord, H1121 are the sons H175 of Aaron, H3881 and the Levites H4399 wait upon their business:

11 H6999 And they burn H3068 unto the Lord H1242 every morning H6153 and every evening H5930 burnt sacrifices H5561 and sweet H7004 incense: H3899 the showbread H2889 also set they in order upon the pure H7979 table; H4501 and the lampstand H2091 of gold H5216 with the lamps H1197 there, to burn H6153 every evening: H8104 for we keep H4931 the charge H3068 of the Lord H430 our God; H5800 but you have forsaken him.

12 H430 And, behold, God H7218 himself is with us for our captain, H3548 and his priests H8643 with sounding H2689 trumpets H7321 to cry alarm H1121 against you. O sons H3478 of Israel, H3898 fight H3068 you not against the Lord H430 God H1 of your fathers; H6743 for you shall not prosper.

13 H3379 But Jeroboam H3993 caused an ambushment H935 to come H5437 about H310 behind H6440 them: so they were before H3063 Judah, H3993 and the ambushment H310 was behind them.

14 H3063 And when Judah H6437 looked back, H4421 behold, the battle H6440 was before H268 and behind: H6817 and they cried H3068 unto the Lord, H3548 and the priests H2690 sounded H2689 with the trumpets.

15 H376 Then the men H3063 of Judah H7321 gave a shout: H376 and as the men H3063 of Judah H7321 shouted, H430 it came to pass, that God H5062 struck H3379 Jeroboam H3478 and all Israel H6440 before H29 Abijah H3063 and Judah.

16 H1121 And the sons H3478 of Israel H5127 fled H6440 before H3063 Judah: H430 and God H5414 delivered H3027 them into their hand.

17 H29 And Abijah H5971 and his people H5221 killed H7227 them with a great H4347 slaughter: H5307 so there fell down H2491 slain H3478 of Israel H2568 five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H977 chosen H376 men.

18 H1121 Thus the sons H3478 of Israel H3665 were brought H6256 under at that time, H1121 and the sons H3063 of Judah H553 prevailed, H8172 because they relied H3068 upon the Lord H430 God H1 of their fathers.

19 H29 And Abijah H7291 pursued H310 after H3379 Jeroboam, H3920 and took H5892 cities H1008 from him, Beth–el H1323 with the towns H3466 there, and Jeshanah H1323 with the towns H6085 there, and Ephrain H1323 with the towns there.

20 H3379 Neither did Jeroboam H6113 recover H3581 strength H3117 again in the days H29 of Abijah: H3068 and the Lord H5062 struck H4191 him, and he died.

21 H29 But Abijah H2388 grew mighty, H5375 and married H702 fourteen H802 wives, H3205 and fathered H6242 twenty H8147 and two H1121 sons, H8337 and sixteen H1323 daughters.

22 H3499 And the rest H1697 of the acts H29 of Abijah, H1870 and his ways, H1697 and his sayings, H3789 are written H4097 in the story H5030 of the prophet H5714 Iddo.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Now in the year eighteen of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. ⁴ And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel; ⁵ do ye not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, unto him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the slave of Solomon the son of David, is risen up and has rebelled against his lord. ⁷ And there are gathered unto him vain men, the sons of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted and could not withstand them. ⁸ And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David because ye are a great multitude, and ye have with you the golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may become a priest of those that are not gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business; ¹¹ and they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and aromatic incense, and they place the showbread upon the clean table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God, but ye have forsaken him. ¹² And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper. ¹³ ¶ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ So when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind; and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout, and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ Thus the sons of Israel were humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah prevailed because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns and Jeshanah with its towns and Ephron with its towns. ²⁰ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abijah waxed mighty and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah and his ways and his words are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah 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 army. ⁴ And Abijah rose up from Mount Zemaraim, which is in Mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: ⁵ Is it not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel forever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt? ⁶ But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up, and has revolted from his master. ⁷ And there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, while Rehoboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not. ⁸ And now you profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David, and you are a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you, as gods. ⁹ Did you not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make for yourselves priests of the people of any other land? Whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the herd and seven rams, he then became a priest to that which is no god. ¹⁰ But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and His priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, ministers unto the Lord; and in their daily courses ¹¹ they sacrifice to the Lord whole burnt offerings, morning and evening, and compound incense, and set the showbread on the pure table; and there is the golden lampstand, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but you have forsaken Him. 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 you shall not prosper. ¹³ Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind; and he himself was before Judah, and the ambush behind. ¹⁴ And Judah looked back, and behold, the battle was against them, ahead and behind. And they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁵ And the men of Judah shouted. And it came to pass, when the men of Judah shouted, that the Lord struck Jeroboam and Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled from before Judah; and the Lord delivered them into their hands. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men. ¹⁸ So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Bethel and her towns, and Jeshanah and her towns, and Ephron and her towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abijah. And the Lord struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abijah strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Iddo.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. 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. ⁴ And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear you⌃, Jeroboam, and all Israel: 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? ⁶ But Jeroboam the [son] of Nabat, the servant of Solomon [the son] of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master: ⁷ and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the [son] of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not. ⁸ And now you⌃ profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and you⌃ [are] a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. ⁹ Did you⌃ 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 heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god. 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 ¹¹ they sacrifice to the Lord whole burnt offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and [set] the show bread 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 you⌃ have forsaken him. 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 you⌃ shall not prosper. ¹³ Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he [himself] was before Juda, and the ambush behind. ¹⁴ And 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. ¹⁵ And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord struck Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands. ¹⁷ And Abia and his people struck them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men. ¹⁸ So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Baethel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died. ²¹ But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. ²² And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abijah became king of Judah in Jeroboam’s eighteenth year as king of Israel. ² His mother was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. He ruled from Jerusalem for three years when war broke out between Abijah of Judah and Jeroboam of Israel. ³ Abijah raised an army of four hundred thousand soldiers. Jeroboam opposed him with an army of eight hundred thousand soldiers. ⁴ The armies met in the hill country of Ephraim. King Abijah went up Mount Zemaraim and called out to Jeroboam and the Israelites: »Listen to me!« He shouted. ⁵ »Do you not know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, made an unbreakable covenant with David, giving him and his descendants kingship over Israel from generation to generation? ⁶ »Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled against Solomon, his king. ⁷ »Later he organized a group of worthless scoundrels. They forced their will on Rehoboam son of Solomon, who was too young and inexperienced to resist them. ⁸ »Now you plan to fight against the royal authority Jehovah gave to David’s descendants. You have a huge army! You have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods. ⁹ »You drove out Jehovah’s priests! You evicted the descendants of Aaron and the Levites. In their place you appointed priests in the same way that other nations do. Anybody who comes along with a bull or seven sheep can get himself consecrated as a priest of those so-called gods of yours. ¹⁰ »We still serve Jehovah our God! We have not abandoned him. Priests descended from Aaron perform their duties, and Levites assist them. ¹¹ »Every morning and every evening they offer him incense and animal sacrifices burned whole. They present the offerings of bread on a table that is ritually clean, and every evening they light the lamps on the gold lamp stand. We do what Jehovah has commanded! But you have abandoned him! ¹² »God is with us as our leader. His priests will sound their trumpets to call the army to fight you. Men of Israel do not wage war against Jehovah the God of your ancestors. You will not succeed.« ¹³ Jeroboam set an ambush to attack them from behind. So Jeroboam’s army was in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ Judah’s soldiers looked around and found the battle was in front of them and behind them. They cried out to Jehovah! The priests blew the trumpets, ¹⁵ The men of Judah shouted! When they shouted God attacked Jeroboam and all Israel in front of Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ The Israelites fled from Judah’s army. God handed them over to Judah. ¹⁷ Abijah and his men defeated them decisively. Five hundred thousand of the best men of Israel were killed. ¹⁸ The Israelites were humbled at that time. The people of Judah won because they trusted Jehovah God of their ancestors. ¹⁹ Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some of his cities: Bethel and its villages, Jeshanah and its villages, and Ephron and its villages. ²⁰ Jeroboam never regained power during Abijah’s time. Jehovah caused Jeroboam to become sick, and Jeroboam died. ²¹ Abijah became strong. He married fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² The history of Abijah, including how he lived, is written by the prophet Iddo.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abijah Succeeds Rehoboam
During the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. ² He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother was Uriel’s daughter Micaiah from Gibeah.
A war started between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ Abijah started the battle with an army of 400,000 specially chosen valiant soldiers, but Jeroboam opposed him with 800,000 specially chosen valiant soldiers. ⁴ Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and announced: “Listen to me, Jeroboam and Israel! ⁵ Don’t you know that the LORD God of Israel assigned the kingship over Israel to David and his descendants forever by a salt covenant? ⁶ Even so, Nebat’s son Jeroboam, who used to serve David’s son Solomon, rose in rebellion against his own master! ⁷ Useless troublemakers soon gathered around him, who turned out to be too strong for Rehoboam, because he was young, timid, and unable to withstand them. ⁸ “So now you think you’ll be able to withstand the LORD’s kingdom as controlled by David’s descendants, just because you have a large crown and have brought with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods. ⁹ Haven’t you already driven away the LORD’s priests, the descendants of Aaron and the descendants of Levi? Haven’t you established your own priests like the people of other lands? ¹⁰ “Now as far as we’re concerned, the LORD is our God, and we haven’t abandoned him. The descendants of Aaron are ministering to the LORD as priests, and the descendants of Levi continue their work. ¹¹ Every morning and evening, they’re offering burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD, the showbread is set out on the pure table, and they take care of the golden lamp stand so its lamps can continue to burn every evening. We continue to be faithful over what the LORD our God entrusted to us, but you have abandoned him. ¹² Now listen! God is with us to lead us, and his priests are about to sound their battle trumpets against you. Descendants of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD God of your ancestors, because you won’t succeed!”
¹³ But Jeroboam had sent an ambush to attack from the rear, so Israel was in front of Judah, with the ambush set in place behind them. ¹⁴ When the army of Judah turned around to look, they were being attacked from both front and rear, so they cried out to the LORD while the priests sounded their trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the army of Judah sounded a war cry, and God routed Jeroboam and the entire army of Israel in front of Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ When the descendants of Israel ran away from the army of Judah, God handed them over to the army of Judah. ¹⁷ Abijah and his army defeated them in a tremendous slaughter that resulted in 500,000 special forces from Israel being slain. ¹⁸ And so the descendants of Israel were defeated at that time. The descendants of Judah were victorious because they trusted in the LORD God of their ancestors. ¹⁹ After this Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured Bethel and its villages, Jeshanah and its villages, and Ephron and its villages.
²⁰ Jeroboam’s Death and Asa’s Reign in JudahJeroboam never recovered his strength for the rest of Abijah’s life. The LORD struck Jeroboam, and he died, ²¹ but Abijah continued to grow more powerful. He took fourteen wives for himself and fathered 22 sons and sixteen daughters. ²² The rest of Abijah’s accomplishments, his lifestyle and his memoirs are recorded in the Midrash of the Prophet Iddo.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah reigned over Judah. ² He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah.
Now there was war between Abijah and between Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah joined in the battle with an army of four hundred thousand _⌊battle-hardened warriors_⌋,* chosen men, and Jeroboam put the battle in order against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, an army of mighty warriors. ⁴ Then Abijah stood up on top of Mount Zemaraim that is in the hill country of Ephraim and said, "Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel! ⁵ Do you not all know that Yahweh the God of Israel gave the kingdom to David over Israel forever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master, ⁷ and worthless men, _⌊sons of wickedness_⌋,* were gathered about him and became hostile against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was a boy and gentle of heart and was not strong enough to stand before them. ⁸ So now you yourselves are considering that you are strong before the kingdom of Yahweh which is in the hand the sons of David, since you yourselves are a great multitude and you have bull calves of gold that Jeroboam has made for idols. ⁹ Did you not drive out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, the Levites? Have you not made for yourselves priests like all the peoples of the lands? All who come _⌊to be consecrated for priestly service_⌋* with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what is not a god. ¹⁰ But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests serving Yahweh are the sons of Aaron, the Levites, according to their service. ¹¹ They offer burnt offerings to Yahweh _⌊every morning_⌋* and _⌊every evening_⌋,* sweet spices of incense, and the rows of bread upon the pure table. And the golden lampstand with its lamps they keep kindled _⌊every evening_⌋,* for we are keeping the requirement of Yahweh our God, but you yourselves have forsaken him. ¹² And look, God is with us at the head, and his priests have the trumpets for sounding blasts against you, O sons of Israel. Do not fight against Yahweh, the God of your ancestors,* for you will not succeed." ¹³ Then Jeroboam sent around an ambush to come behind them. So they were in front of Judah, but the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ When Judah turned, then behold, the battle against them was in front and behind, and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests blew on the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah shouted, and it happened that when the men of Judah were shouting, then God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* fled from before Judah, and God gave them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people struck a great blow against them, and the dead from Israel that fell were five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* were subdued at that time, and the people* of Judah were victorious, for they relied upon Yahweh the God of their ancestors.* ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not regain strength again in the days of Abijah. And Yahweh plagued him and he died. ²¹ But Abijah became strong, and he took to himself fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² Now the rest of the words of Abijah and his ways and his words are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became king of Judah, ² and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor. ⁴ Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel! ⁵ Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master. ⁷ Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them. ⁸ And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods. ⁹ But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties. ¹¹ Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him. ¹² Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.” ¹³ Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets, ¹⁵ and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. ¹⁷ Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain. ¹⁸ Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages. ²⁰ Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died. ²¹ But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah. ² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men. And Jeroboam arranged for battle against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men who were mighty men of valor.
⁴ And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel. ⁵ Should you* not know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David everlasting, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.
⁷ And there were gathered to him vain men, sons of worthlessness, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted and could not withstand them.
⁸ And now you* think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David and you* are a great multitude and there are with you* the golden calves which Jeroboam made you* for gods. ⁹ Have you* not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron and the Levites and made priests for you* after the manner of the peoples of other lands? So that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
¹⁰ But as for us, Jehovah is our God and we have not forsaken him. And we have priests ministering to Jehovah, the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their work. ¹¹ And they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. Also they set the showbread in order upon the pure table and the lamp-stand of gold with the lamps of it to burn every evening. For we keep the charge of Jehovah our God, but you* have forsaken him.
¹² And behold, God is with us at our head and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to shout an alarm against you*. O sons of Israel, do not fight against Jehovah, the God of your* fathers. For you* will not prosper.
¹³ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come around behind them, so they were before Judah and the ambush was behind them.
¹⁴ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them. And they cried to Jehovah and the priests blew the trumpets. ¹⁵ Then the men of Judah gave a shout. And as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God killed* Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
¹⁶ And the sons of Israel fled before Judah and God delivered them into their hand. ¹⁷ And Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter. So there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
¹⁸ Thus the sons of Israel were brought under at that time and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns of it and Jeshanah with the towns of it and Ephron with the towns of it.
²⁰ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah. And Jehovah killed* him and he died. ²¹ But Abijah grew mighty and took to himself fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah and his ways and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah. ² He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. ³ And Abijah made a battle with an Host of fighting men of four hundred thousand chosen men. And Jeroboam put in array to fight against him, with eight hundred thousand picked men and strong. ⁴ Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: ⁵ Don't you know that the LORD God of Israel assigned the kingship over Israel to David and his descendants forever by a salt covenant? ⁶ But Jeroboam the son of Nebat the servant of Solomon the son of David, rebelled against his lord. ⁷ "Later he organized a group of worthless scoundrels. They forced their will on Rehoboam son of Solomon, who was too young and inexperienced to resist them. ⁸ "Now you plan to fight against the royal authority the LORD gave to David's descendants. You have a huge army! You have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods. ⁹ Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests as the peoples of the lands? whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, he becomes a priest of what is not God. ¹⁰ As for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; yea, priests are serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work, ¹¹ and they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the showbread in order on the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening. We keep the instruction of the LORD our God; but you have forsaken Him. ¹² "God is with us as our leader. His priests will sound their trumpets to call the army to fight you. Men of Israel do not wage war against the LORD the God of your ancestors. You will not succeed." ¹³ Then Jeroboam sent around an ambush to come behind them. So they were in front of Judah, but the ambush was behind them. ¹⁴ When the army of Judah turned around to look, they were being attacked from both front and rear, so they cried out to the LORD while the priests sounded their trumpets. ¹⁵ and the men of Judah gave a shout. And as the men of Judah shouted, God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the Israelites fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hands, ¹⁷ Abijah and his men defeated them decisively. Five hundred thousand of the best men of Israel were killed. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel were humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah won because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers. ¹⁹ Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages. ²⁰ And Jeroboam did not regain power any more in Abijah's days. And the LORD struck him, and he died. ²¹ Abijah became strong. He married fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. ²² The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

3 H2428 Und H29 Abia H631 rüstete H6186 sich H4421 zu dem Streit H2428 mit H702 vierhunderttausend H977 junger H376 Mannschaft H1368 , starke Leute H4421 zum Kriege H3379 . Jerobeam H631 aber rüstete H4421 sich, mit ihm zu streiten H977 mit achthunderttausend junger H376 Mannschaft H1368 , starke Leute .

4 H29 Und Abia H6965 machte sich auf H2022 oben auf den Berg H6787 Zemaraim H2022 , welcher liegt auf dem Gebirge H669 Ephraim H559 , und sprach H8085 : Höret mir zu H3379 , Jerobeam H3478 , und das ganze Israel!

5 H3045 Wisset ihr H3068 nicht, daß der HErr H430 , der GOtt H3478 Israels H4467 , hat das Königreich H3478 zu Israel H1732 David H5414 gegeben H5769 ewiglich H1121 , ihm und seinen Söhnen H4417 einen Salzbund ?

6 H3379 Aber Jerobeam H1121 , der Sohn H5028 Nebats H5650 , der Knecht H8010 Salomos H1732 , Davids H6965 Sohns, warf sich auf H1121 und H113 ward seinem Herrn H4775 abtrünnig .

8 H2388 Nun denket ihr H3027 euch H6213 zu H4467 setzen wider das Reich H3068 des HErrn H1121 unter den Söhnen H1732 Davids H7227 , weil euer ein großer H1995 Haufe H559 ist, und H5695 habt güldene Kälber H3379 , die euch Jerobeam H430 für Götter gemacht hat.

5 H3045 Wisset H3068 ihr nicht, daß der HERR H430 , der Gott H3478 Israels H4467 , hat das Königreich H3478 zu Israel H1732 David H5414 gegeben H5769 ewiglich H1121 , ihm und seinen Söhnen H4417 H1285 durch einen Salzbund ?

6 H3379 Aber Jerobeam H1121 , der Sohn H5028 Nebats H5650 , der Knecht H8010 Salomos H1732 , Davids H1121 Sohnes H6965 , warf sich auf H113 und ward seinem Herrn H4775 abtrünnig .

7 H6908 Und haben sich zu H6908 ihm geschlagen H7386 lose H582 Leute H1100 und böse H1121 Buben H553 und haben sich gestärkt H7346 wider Rehabeam H1121 , den Sohn H8010 Salomos H7346 ; denn Rehabeam H5288 war jung H7390 H3824 und eines blöden Herzens H6440 , daß er sich vor ihnen H2388 nicht wehrte .

8 H559 Nun denkt H2388 ihr euch zu setzen H2388 wider H6440 H4467 das Reich H3068 des HERRN H3027 unter H1121 den Söhnen H1732 Davids H7227 , weil euer ein großer H1995 Haufe H2091 ist und habt goldene H5695 Kälber H3379 , die euch Jerobeam H430 zu Göttern H6213 gemacht hat.

9 H3548 Habt ihr nicht die Priester H3068 des HERRN H1121 , die Kinder H175 Aaron H3881 , und die Leviten H5080 ausgestoßen H3548 und habt euch eigene Priester H6213 gemacht H5971 wie die Völker H776 in den Landen H935 ? Wer da kommt H4390 , seine Hand H3027 H4390 zu füllen H1121 H1241 mit einem jungen H6499 Farren H7651 und sieben H352 Widdern H3548 , der wird Priester H3808 derer, die nicht H430 Götter sind.

10 H3068 Mit uns aber ist der HERR H430 , unser Gott H5800 , den wir nicht verlassen H3548 , und die Priester H3068 , die dem HERRN H8334 dienen H1121 , die Kinder H175 Aaron H3881 , und die Leviten H4399 mit ihrem Geschäft,

11 H6999 die anzünden H3068 dem HERRN H1242 alle Morgen H5930 Brandopfer H6153 und alle Abende H5561 , dazu das gute H7004 Räuchwerk H3899 H4635 , und bereitete Brote H2889 auf den reinen H7979 Tisch H2091 , und der goldene H4501 Leuchter H5216 mit seinen Lampen H6153 , die da alle Abende H1197 angezündet H8104 werden. Denn wir halten H4931 die Gebote H3068 des HERRN H430 , unsers Gottes H5800 ; ihr aber habt ihn verlassen .

12 H7218 Siehe, mit uns ist an H7218 der Spitze H430 Gott H3548 und seine Priester H2689 und die Halldrommeten H8643 H7321 , daß man wider euch drommete H1121 . Ihr Kinder H3478 Israel H3898 , streitet H3068 nicht wider den HERRN H1 , eurer Väter H430 Gott H6743 ; denn es wird euch nicht gelingen .

13 H3379 Aber Jerobeam H3993 machte einen Hinterhalt H5437 umher H310 , daß er von hinten H935 an sie käme H6440 , daß sie vor H3063 Juda H3993 waren und der Hinterhalt H310 hinter Juda.

14 H3063 Da sich nun Juda H6437 umwandte H6440 , siehe, da war vorn H268 und hinten H4421 Streit H6817 . Da schrieen H3068 sie zum HERRN H3548 , und die Priester H2690 H2690 drommeteten H2689 mit den Drommeten,

15 H376 und jedermann H3063 in Juda H7321 erhob Geschrei H376 . Und da jedermann H3063 in Juda H7321 schrie H5062 , schlug H430 Gott H3379 Jerobeam H3478 und das ganze Israel H6440 vor H29 Abia H3063 und Juda .

16 H1121 Und die Kinder H3478 Israel H5127 flohen H6440 vor H3063 Juda H430 , und Gott H5414 gab H3027 sie in ihre Hände,

17 H29 daß Abia H5971 mit seinem Volk H7227 eine große H4347 Schlacht H5221 an ihnen tat H5307 und fielen H3478 aus Israel H2491 H3967 H2568 H505 Erschlagene H977 junger H376 Mannschaft .

18 H3665 Also wurden H1121 die Kinder H3478 Israel H6256 gedemütigt zu der Zeit H1121 ; aber die Kinder H3063 Juda H553 wurden getrost H8172 , denn sie verließen H3068 sich auf den HERRN H1 , ihrer Väter H430 Gott .

19 H29 Und Abia H7291 jagte H3379 Jerobeam H310 nach H3920 und gewann H5892 ihm Städte H1008 ab: Beth–El H1323 mit seinen Ortschaften H3466 , Jesana H1323 mit seinen Ortschaften H6085 und Ephron H1323 mit seinen Ortschaften,

20 H3379 daß Jerobeam H6113 fürder nicht H3581 zu Kräften H6113 kam H3117 , solange H29 Abia H3117 lebte H3068 . Und der HERR H5062 plagte H4191 ihn, daß er starb .

21 H29 Abia H2388 aber ward mächtig H5375 H702 H6240 , und er nahm H802 Weiber H3205 H6242 H8147 und zeugte H1121 Söhne H8337 H6240 und H1323 Töchter .

23 H29 Und Abia H7901 entschlief H1 mit seinen Vätern H6912 , und sie begruben H5892 ihn in der Stadt H1732 Davids H609 . Und Asa H1121 , sein Sohn H4427 , war H4427 König H3117 an seiner Statt. Zu dessen Zeiten H776 war das Land H8252 still H6235 zehn H8141 Jahre .

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In het achttiende jaar van den koning Jerobeam, zo werd Abia koning over Juda. ² Hij regeerde drie jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Michaja, de dochter van Uriël, van Gibea; en er was krijg tussen Abia en tussen Jerobeam. ³ En Abia bond den strijd aan met een heir van strijdbare helden, vierhonderd duizend uitgelezen mannen; en Jerobeam stelde tegen hem de slagorde, met achthonderd duizend uitgelezen mannen, kloeke helden. ⁴ En Abia maakte zich op van boven den berg Zemaraim, dewelke is in het gebergte van Efraïm; en hij zeide: Hoort mij toe, Jerobeam, en gans Israël! ⁵ Staat het u niet toe te weten, dat de HEERE, de God Israëls, het koninkrijk over Israël aan David gegeven heeft, tot in eeuwigheid, hem en zijn zonen, met een zoutverbond? ⁶ Evenwel is Jerobeam, de zoon van Nebat, de knecht van Salomo, den zoon van David, opgestaan, en heeft gerebelleerd tegen zijn heer. ⁷ Daartoe hebben zich ijdele mannen, kinderen Belials, tot hem vergaderd, en hebben zich sterk gemaakt tegen Rehabeam, den zoon van Salomo, als Rehabeam jong was en teder van hart, dat hij zich tegen hen niet kon versterken. ⁸ En nu, gij denkt u te versterken tegen het koninkrijk des HEEREN, hetwelk in de hand is der zonen van David; gij zijt wel een grote menigte, maar gij hebt gouden kalveren bij u, die u Jerobeam tot goden gemaakt heeft. ⁹ Hebt gij niet de priesteren des HEEREN, de zonen van Aäron, en de Levieten uitgedreven, en hebt u priesteren gemaakt, gelijk de volken der landen? Een iegelijk, die komt om zijn hand te vullen met een jong rund en zeven rammen, die wordt priester dergenen, die geen goden zijn. ¹⁰ Maar ons aangaande, de HEERE is onze God, en wij hebben Hem niet verlaten; en de priesters, die den HEERE dienen, zijn de zonen van Aäron, en de Levieten zijn in het werk. ¹¹ En zij steken aan voor den HEERE brandofferen, op elken morgen en op elken avond, ook reukwerk van welriekende specerijen, nevens de toerichting des broods op de reine tafel, en den gouden kandelaar en zijn lampen, om die op elken avond te doen branden; want wij nemen waar de wacht des HEEREN, onzes Gods; maar gij hebt Hem verlaten. ¹² Daarom ziet, God is met ons aan de spitse, en Zijn priesteren met de trompetten des geklanks, om tegen u alarmgeklank te maken; o kinderen Israëls, strijdt niet tegen den HEERE, den God uwer vaderen, want gij zult geen voorspoed hebben. ¹³ Maar Jerobeam deed een achterlage omwenden, om van achter hen te komen; zo waren zij voor het aangezicht van Juda, en de achterlage was achter hen. ¹⁴ Toen nu Juda omzag, ziet, zo hadden zij den strijd voor en achter; en zij riepen tot den HEERE, en de priesters trompetten met de trompetten. ¹⁵ En de mannen van Juda maakten een alarmgeschrei; en het geschiedde, als de mannen van Juda een alarmgeschrei maakten, dat God Jerobeam en het ganse Israël sloeg voor Abia en Juda. ¹⁶ En de kinderen Israëls vloden voor het aangezicht van Juda; en God gaf hen in hun hand. ¹⁷ Abia dan, en zijn volk, sloeg hen met een groten slag; want uit Israël vielen verslagen vijfhonderd duizend uitgelezen mannen. ¹⁸ Alzo werden de kinderen Israëls vernederd te dier tijd; maar de kinderen van Juda werden machtig, dewijl zij op den HEERE, hunner vaderen God, gesteund hadden. ¹⁹ En Abia jaagde Jerobeam achterna, en nam van hem de steden, Beth-el met haar onderhorige plaatsen, en Jesana met haar onderhorige plaatsen, en Efron met haar onderhorige plaatsen. ²⁰ En Jerobeam behield geen kracht meer in de dagen van Abia; maar de HEERE sloeg hem, dat hij stierf. ²¹ Zo versterkte zich Abia; en hij nam zich veertien vrouwen, en gewon twee en twintig zonen en zestien dochteren. ²² Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Abia, zo zijn wegen als zijn woorden, zijn beschreven in de historie van den profeet Iddo.

5 H3808 Staat het u niet H3045 H8800 toe te weten H3588 , dat H3068 de HEERE H430 , de God H3478 Israels H4467 , het koninkrijk H5921 over H3478 Israel H1732 aan David H5414 H8804 gegeven heeft H5769 , tot in eeuwigheid H1121 , hem en zijn zonen H1285 H4417 , met een zoutverbond?

6 H3379 Evenwel is Jerobeam H1121 , de zoon H5028 van Nebat H5650 , de knecht H8010 van Salomo H1121 , den zoon H1732 van David H6965 H8799 , opgestaan H4775 H8799 , en heeft gerebelleerd H5921 tegen H113 zijn heer.

7 H7386 Daartoe hebben zich ijdele H582 mannen H1121 , kinderen H1100 Belials H5921 , tot H6908 H8735 hem vergaderd H553 H8691 , en hebben zich sterk gemaakt H5921 tegen H7346 Rehabeam H1121 , den zoon H8010 van Salomo H7346 , als Rehabeam H5288 jong H1961 H8804 was H7390 en teder H3824 van hart H6440 , dat hij zich tegen H3808 hen niet H2388 H8694 kon versterken.

8 H6258 En nu H859 , gij H559 H8802 denkt H2388 H8692 u te versterken H6440 tegen H4467 het koninkrijk H3068 des HEEREN H3027 , [hetwelk] in de hand H1121 is der zonen H1732 van David H859 ; gij H7227 zijt wel een grote H1995 menigte H2091 , maar gij hebt gouden H5695 kalveren H5973 bij H834 u, die H3379 u Jerobeam H430 tot goden H6213 H8804 gemaakt heeft.

9 H3808 Hebt gij niet H3548 de priesteren H3068 des HEEREN H1121 , de zonen H175 van Aaron H3881 , en de Levieten H5080 H8689 uitgedreven H3548 , en hebt u priesteren H6213 H8799 gemaakt H5971 , gelijk de volken H776 der landen H3605 ? Een iegelijk H935 H8802 , die komt H3027 om zijn hand H4390 H8763 te vullen H1121 H1241 met een jong H6499 rund H7651 en zeven H352 rammen H1961 H8804 , die wordt H3548 priester H3808 dergenen, die geen H430 goden zijn.

10 H587 Maar ons H3068 aangaande, de HEERE H430 is onze God H3808 , en wij hebben Hem niet H5800 H8804 verlaten H3548 ; en de priesters H3068 , die den HEERE H8334 H8764 dienen H1121 , zijn de zonen H175 van Aaron H3881 , en de Levieten H4399 zijn in het werk.

11 H6999 H8688 En zij steken aan H3068 voor den HEERE H5930 brandofferen H1242 , op elken H1242 morgen H6153 en op elken H6153 avond H7004 , ook reukwerk H5561 van welriekende specerijen H4635 , nevens de toerichting H3899 des broods H5921 op H2889 de reine H7979 tafel H2091 , en den gouden H4501 kandelaar H5216 en zijn lampen H6153 , om [die] op elken H6153 avond H1197 H8763 te doen branden H3588 ; want H587 wij H8104 H8802 nemen waar H4931 de wacht H3068 des HEEREN H430 , onzes Gods H859 ; maar gij H853 hebt Hem H5800 H8804 verlaten.

12 H2009 Daarom ziet H430 , God H5973 is met H7218 ons aan de spitse H3548 , en Zijn priesteren H2689 met de trompetten H8643 des geklanks H7321 H8687 , om tegen u alarmgeklank te maken H1121 ; o kinderen H3478 Israels H3898 H8735 , strijdt H408 niet H5973 tegen H3068 den HEERE H430 , den God H1 uwer vaderen H3588 , want H3808 gij zult geen H6743 H8686 voorspoed hebben.

13 H3379 Maar Jerobeam H3993 deed een achterlage H5437 H8689 omwenden H4480 , om van H310 achter H935 H8800 hen te komen H1961 H8799 ; zo waren zij H6440 voor het aangezicht H3063 van Juda H3993 , en de achterlage H4480 H310 was achter hen.

14 H3063 Toen nu Juda H6437 H8799 omzag H2009 , ziet H4421 , zo hadden zij den strijd H6440 voor H268 en achter H6817 H8799 ; en zij riepen H3068 tot den HEERE H3548 , en de priesters H2690 H8688 H8675 H2690 H8764 trompetten H2689 met de trompetten.

15 H376 En de mannen H3063 van Juda H7321 H8686 maakten een alarmgeschrei H1961 H8799 ; en het geschiedde H376 , als de mannen H3063 van Juda H7321 H8687 een alarmgeschrei maakten H430 , dat God H3379 Jerobeam H3605 en het ganse H3478 Israel H5062 H8804 sloeg H6440 voor H29 Abia H3063 en Juda.

16 H1121 En de kinderen H3478 Israels H5127 H8799 vloden H4480 voor H6440 het aangezicht H3063 van Juda H430 ; en God H5414 H8799 gaf H3027 hen in hun hand.

17 H29 Abia H5971 dan, en zijn volk H5221 H8686 , sloeg H7227 hen met een groten H4347 slag H4480 ; want uit H3478 Israel H5307 H8799 vielen H2491 verslagen H2568 H3967 vijfhonderd H505 duizend H977 H8803 uitgelezen H376 mannen.

18 H1121 Alzo werden de kinderen H3478 Israels H3665 H8735 vernederd H1931 te dier H6256 tijd H1121 ; maar de kinderen H3063 van Juda H553 H8799 werden machtig H3588 , dewijl H5921 zij op H3068 den HEERE H1 , hunner vaderen H430 God H8172 H8738 , gesteund hadden.

19 H29 En Abia H7291 H8799 jaagde H3379 Jerobeam H310 achterna H3920 H8799 , en nam H4480 van H5892 hem de steden H1008 , Beth-el H1323 met haar onderhorige plaatsen H3466 , en Jesana H1323 met haar onderhorige plaatsen H6085 , en Efron H1323 met haar onderhorige plaatsen.

20 H3379 En Jerobeam H6113 H8804 behield H3808 geen H3581 kracht H5750 meer H3117 in de dagen H29 van Abia H3068 ; maar de HEERE H5062 H8799 sloeg H4191 H8799 hem, dat hij stierf.

21 H2388 H8691 Zo versterkte zich H29 Abia H5375 H8799 ; en hij nam zich H702 H6240 veertien H802 vrouwen H3205 H8686 , en gewon H8147 twee H6242 en twintig H1121 zonen H8337 H6240 en zestien H1323 dochteren.

22 H3499 Het overige H1697 nu der geschiedenissen H29 van Abia H1870 , zo zijn wegen H1697 als zijn woorden H3789 H8803 , zijn beschreven H4097 in de historie H5030 van den profeet H5714 Iddo.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ En la dix-huitième année du règne de Jéroboam, Abias commença à régner sur Juda. ² Il régna trois ans à Jérusalem; et le nom de sa mère était Maacha, fille d’Uriel de Gabaon. Abias ne cessa pas d’être en guerre avec Jéroboam. ³ Et il rangea en bataille une armée de quatre cent mille hommes vaillants, et Jéroboam lui en opposa huit cent mille, vaillants aussi. ⁴ Alors Abias monta sur la colline de Salomon qui est dans les montagnes d’Ephraïm, et il dit: Jéroboam, écoute-moi ainsi que tout Israël. ⁵ Ne devez-vous pas savoir que par une alliance sacrée, le Seigneur notre Dieu a donné pour toujours le royaume d’Israël à David et à ses fils. ⁶ Mais, Jéroboam, fils de Nabat, serviteur de Salomon, fils de David, s’est levé et s’est révolté contre son maître. ⁷ Et des hommes de pestilence, fils du péché, se sont joints à lui, qui s’est révolté contre Roboam, fils de Salomon, et Roboam, qui était jeune et d’un coeur craintif, n’osa lui tenir tête. ⁸ Et vous maintenant, vous dites que vous résisterez au royaume du Seigneur que possèdent les fils de David; et vous êtes nombreux, et vous avez avec vous les veaux d’or qu’a faits Jéroboam, pour qu’ils soient vos dieux. ⁹ N’avez-vous pas chassé les prêtres du Seigneur, les fils d’Aaron et les lévites? Ne vous êtes-vous point fait des prêtres parmi le peuple de toute la terre? Quiconque arrive, pour se consacrer, avec un boeuf du troupeau et sept béliers, le voilà prêtre de ce qui n’est point dieu. ¹⁰ Quant à nous, nous n’avons point abandonné le Seigneur; ce sont ses prêtres, fils d’Aaron, et ses lévites qui le servent, et qui journellement ¹¹ Offrent des holocaustes au Seigneur, matin et soir, brûlent les parfums composés, déposent sur la table pure les pains de proposition, allument à la nuit le chandelier d’or et les lampes qui doivent brûler; car, nous observons les préceptes du Seigneur Dieu de nos pères, que vous avez abandonné. ¹² Voyez, le Seigneur et ses prêtres sont avec nous à notre tête; ce sont les trompettes sacrées qui nous donnent les signaux; fils d’Israël, gardez-vous de combattre le Seigneur, car vous ne réussirez à rien. ¹³ ¶ Cependant, Jéroboam ramena sur les derrières de Juda une embuscade qu’il avait dressée; il fut ainsi lui-même devant Juda, et son embuscade derrière. ¹⁴ Et Juda se retournant regarda, et voilà que la bataille était devant et derrière lui; alors, il cria au Seigneur, et les prêtres sonnèrent de la trompette. ¹⁵ Et les hommes de Juda crièrent, et il advint, pendant qu’ils jetaient de grands cris, que le Seigneur frappa Jéroboam et Israël devant Abias et Juda. ¹⁶ Et les fils d’Israël s’enfuirent devant Juda, et le Seigneur les livra au roi de Juda. ¹⁷ Abias et son peuple les frappèrent d’une grande plaie, et cinq cent mille hommes vaillants succombèrent du côté d’Israël. ¹⁸ Et, en ce jour-là, les fils d’Israël furent humiliés, et les fils de Juda prévalurent, parce qu’ils avaient espéré en Dieu. ¹⁹ Abias poursuivit Jéroboam, il lui prit des villes: Béthel et ses bourgs, Mayne et ses bourgs, Ephron et ses bourgs. ²⁰ Et Jéroboam fut sans force sous le règne d’Abias; enfin, le Seigneur le frappa, et il mourut. ²¹ Et Abias s’affermit, et il épousa quatorze femmes, dont il eut vingt-deux fils et seize filles. ²² Le reste de l’histoire d’Abias, ses actions et ses discours, sont écrits au livre du prophète Addo.

La dix-huitième année du roi Jéroboam, Abija commença de régner sur Juda. ² Il régna trois ans à Jérusalem; et le nom de sa mère était Micaïa, fille d'Uriel, de Guibha. Et il y eut guerre entre Abija et Jéroboam. ³ Et Abija commença la guerre avec une armée d'hommes de guerre, de quatre cent mille hommes d'élite; et Jéroboam se rangea en bataille contre lui avec huit cent mille hommes d'élite, forts et vaillants. ⁴ Et Abija se tint sur le haut de la montagne de Tsemaraïm, qui est dans la montagne d'Éphraïm, et dit: Ecoutez-moi, Jéroboam et tout Israël! ⁵ N'est-ce pas à vous de savoir que l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël, a donné à David la royauté sur Israël pour toujours, à lui et à ses fils, par une alliance de sel? ⁶ Et Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, serviteur de Salomon, fils de David, s'est levé, et s'est révolté contre son seigneur; ⁷ et des hommes de rien, des fils de Bélial, se sont assemblés vers lui; et ils se sont fortifiés contre Roboam, fils de Salomon; et Roboam était jeune et craintif; et il ne s'est pas montré fort devant eux. ⁸ Et maintenant vous pensez vous montrer forts contre le royaume de l'Éternel, qui est dans la main des fils de David, et vous êtes une grande multitude, et vous avez avec vous les veaux d'or que Jéroboam vous a faits pour être vos dieux. ⁹ N'avez-vous pas chassé les sacrificateurs de l'Éternel, les fils d'Aaron, et les lévites? Et vous vous êtes fait des sacrificateurs, comme les peuples des autres pays; quiconque est venu avec un jeune taureau et sept béliers, pour être consacré, est devenu sacrificateur de ce qui n'est pas Dieu. ¹⁰ Mais pour nous, l'Éternel est notre Dieu, et nous ne l'avons pas abandonné; et des sacrificateurs, fils d'Aaron, servent l'Éternel, et les lévites sont à leurs fonctions; ¹¹ et chaque matin et chaque soir, ils font fumer les holocaustes à l'Éternel, et l'encens de drogues odoriférantes; et nous avons les pains rangés sur la table pure, et le chandelier d'or et ses lampes pour brûler chaque soir, car nous, nous faisons l'acquit de la charge que l'Éternel, notre Dieu, nous a confiée; mais vous, vous l'avez abandonné. ¹² Et voici, nous avons avec nous, à notre tête, Dieu et ses sacrificateurs, et les trompettes au son éclatant, pour sonner avec éclat contre vous. Fils d'Israël, ne faites pas la guerre contre l'Éternel, le Dieu de vos pères; car vous ne réussirez pas! ¹³
Mais Jéroboam fit prendre un détour à une embuscade pour venir derrière eux; et ils étaient devant Juda, et l'embuscade était derrière eux. ¹⁴ Et Juda se tourna, et voici, la bataille était contre eux, devant et derrière; et ils crièrent à l'Éternel, et les sacrificateurs sonnèrent des trompettes; ¹⁵ et les hommes de Juda jetèrent des cris; et il arriva, comme les hommes de Juda jetaient des cris, que Dieu frappa Jéroboam et tout Israël, devant Abija et Juda. ¹⁶ Et les fils d'Israël s'enfuirent devant Juda, et Dieu les livra en leurs mains. ¹⁷ Abija et son peuple leur infligèrent une grande défaite, et il tomba d'Israël cinq cent mille hommes d'élite blessés à mort. ¹⁸ Et les fils d'Israël furent humiliés en ce temps-là, et les fils de Juda furent affermis, car ils s'appuyaient sur l'Éternel, le Dieu de leur pères. ¹⁹ Abija poursuivit Jéroboam et lui prit des villes: Béthel et les villages de son ressort, et Jeshana et les villages de son ressort, et Éphron et les villages de son ressort. ²⁰ Et Jéroboam n'eut plus de force durant les jours d'Abija; et l'Éternel le frappa, et il mourut. ²¹ Et Abija s'affermit, et prit quatorze femmes, et engendra vingt-deux fils et seize filles. ²² Et le reste des actes d'Abija, et ses voies et ses paroles, sont écrits dans les commentaires d'Iddo le prophète.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ La dix-huitième année du Roi Jéroboam Abija commença à régner sur Juda. ² Et il régna trois ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère avait nom Micaja, et elle était fille d'Uriël de Guibba. Or il y eut guerre entre Abija et Jéroboam. ³ Et Abija commença la bataille avec une armée composée de gens vaillants pour la guerre; ils étaient quatre cent mille hommes d'élite. Or Jéroboam avait rangé contre lui la bataille avec huit cent mille hommes d'élite, forts et vaillants. ⁴ Et Abija se tint debout sur la montagne de Tsémarajim, qui est dans les montagnes d'Ephraïm, et dit : Jéroboam et tout Israël écoutez-moi. ⁵ N'est-ce pas à vous de savoir que l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël a donné le Royaume à David sur Israël pour toujours, à lui, dis-je, et à ses fils, par une alliance inviolable ? ⁶ Mais Jéroboam fils de Nébat, serviteur de Salomon fils de David, s'est élevé, et s'est rebellé contre son Seigneur. ⁷ Et des hommes de néant, imitateurs de la malice du Démon se sont assemblés vers lui, ils se sont fortifiés contre Roboam, fils de Salomon, parce que Roboam était un enfant, et de peu de courage, et qu'il ne tint pas ferme devant eux. ⁸ Et maintenant vous présumez de tenir ferme contre le Royaume de l'Eternel qui est entre les mains des fils de David, parce que vous êtes une grande multitude de peuple, et que les veaux d'or, que Jéroboam vous a faits pour être vos dieux, sont avec vous. ⁹ N'avez-vous pas rejeté les Sacrificateurs de l'Eternel, les fils d'Aaron et les Lévites ? et ne vous êtes-vous pas fait des sacrificateurs à la façon des peuples des autres pays ? Tous ceux qui sont venus avec un jeune veau, et avec sept béliers pour être consacrés, et pour être sacrificateurs de ce qui n'est pas Dieu ? ¹⁰ Mais quant à nous, l'Eternel est notre Dieu, et nous ne l'avons point abandonné; et les Sacrificateurs qui font le service à l'Eternel, sont enfants d'Aaron, et les Lévites sont employés à leurs fonctions. ¹¹ Et on fait fumer les holocaustes chaque matin et chaque soir à l'Eternel, et le parfum des choses aromatiques. Les pains de proposition sont arrangés sur la table pure, et on allume le chandelier d'or avec ses lampes, chaque soir; car nous gardons ce que l'Eternel notre Dieu veut qui soit gardé; mais vous l'avez abandonné. ¹² C'est pourquoi, voici, Dieu est avec nous pour être notre Chef, et ses Sacrificateurs, et les trompettes de retentissement bruyant pour les faire sonner contre vous. Enfants d'Israël, ne combattez point contre l'Eternel le Dieu de vos pères; car cela ne vous réussira point. ¹³ Mais Jéroboam fit prendre un détour à une embuscade, afin qu'elle se jetât sur eux par derrière; de sorte que les Israélites se présentèrent en front à Juda, et l'embuscade était par derrière. ¹⁴ Et ceux de Juda regardèrent, et voici, ils avaient la bataille en front et par derrière, et ils s'écrièrent à l'Eternel, et les Sacrificateurs sonnaient des trompettes. ¹⁵ Chacun de Juda jetait aussi des cris de joie, et il arriva, comme ils jetaient des cris de joie, que Dieu frappa Jéroboam et tout Israël, devant Abija et Juda. ¹⁶ Et les enfants d'Israël s'enfuirent de devant Juda, parce que Dieu les avait livrés entre leurs mains. ¹⁷ Abija donc et son peuple en firent un fort grand carnage, de sorte qu'il tomba d'Israël cinq cent mille hommes d'élite, blessés à mort. ¹⁸ Ainsi les enfants d'Israël furent humiliés en ce temps-là, et les enfants de Juda furent renforcés, parce qu'ils s'étaient appuyés sur l'Eternel le Dieu de leurs pères. ¹⁹ Et Abija poursuivit Jéroboam, et prit sur lui ces villes; Béthel, et les villes de son ressort; Jésana, et les villes de son ressort; Héphrajim, et les villes de son ressort. ²⁰ Et Jéroboam n'eut plus de force durant le temps d'Abija; mais l'Eternel le frappa, et il mourut. ²¹ Ainsi Abija se fortifia, et prit quatorze femmes, et il en eut vingt et deux fils, et seize filles. ²² Le reste des faits d'Abija, ses actions, et ses paroles sont écrites dans les Mémoires de Hiddo le Prophète.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ La dix-huitième année du règne de Jéroboam, Abija régna sur Juda. ² Il régna trois ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s'appelait Micaja, fille d'Uriel, de Guibea. Il y eut guerre entre Abija et Jéroboam. ³ Abija engagea les hostilités avec une armée de vaillants guerriers, quatre cent mille hommes d'élite; et Jéroboam se rangea en bataille contre lui avec huit cent mille hommes d'élite, vaillants guerriers. ⁴ Du haut du mont Tsemaraïm, qui fait partie de la montagne d'Ephraïm, Abija se leva et dit: Ecoutez-moi, Jéroboam, et tout Israël! ⁵ Ne devez-vous pas savoir que l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, a donné pour toujours à David la royauté sur Israël, à lui et à ses fils, par une alliance inviolable? ⁶ Mais Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, serviteur de Salomon, fils de David, s'est levé et s'est révolté contre son maître. ⁷ Des gens de rien, des hommes pervers, se sont rassemblés auprès de lui et l'ont emporté sur Roboam, fils de Salomon. Roboam était jeune et craintif, et il manqua de force devant eux. ⁸ Et maintenant, vous pensez triompher du royaume de l'Eternel, qui est entre les mains des fils de David; et vous êtes une multitude nombreuse, et vous avez avec vous les veaux d'or que Jéroboam vous a faits pour dieux. ⁹ N'avez-vous pas repoussé les sacrificateurs de l'Eternel, les fils d'Aaron et les Lévites, et ne vous êtes-vous pas fait des sacrificateurs, comme les peuples des autres pays? Quiconque venait avec un jeune taureau et sept béliers, afin d'être consacré, devenait sacrificateur de ce qui n'est point Dieu. ¹⁰ Mais pour nous, l'Eternel est notre Dieu, et nous ne l'avons point abandonné, les sacrificateurs au service de l'Eternel sont fils d'Aaron, et les Lévites remplissent leurs fonctions. ¹¹ Nous offrons chaque matin et chaque soir des holocaustes à l'Eternel, nous brûlons le parfum odoriférant, nous mettons les pains de proposition sur la table pure, et nous allumons chaque soir le chandelier d'or et ses lampes; car nous observons les commandements de l'Eternel, notre Dieu. Et vous, vous l'avez abandonné. ¹² Voici, Dieu et ses sacrificateurs sont avec nous, à notre tête, et nous avons les trompettes retentissantes pour les faire résonner contre vous. Enfants d'Israël! ne faites pas la guerre à l'Eternel, le Dieu de vos pères, car vous n'auriez aucun succès. ¹³ Jéroboam les prit par derrière au moyen d'une embuscade, et ses troupes étaient en face de Juda, qui avait l'embuscade par derrière. ¹⁴ Ceux de Juda s'étant retournés eurent à combattre devant et derrière. Ils crièrent à l'Eternel, et les sacrificateurs sonnèrent des trompettes. ¹⁵ Les hommes de Juda poussèrent un cri de guerre et, au cri de guerre des hommes de Juda, l'Eternel frappa Jéroboam et tout Israël devant Abija et Juda. ¹⁶ Les enfants d'Israël s'enfuirent devant Juda, et Dieu les livra entre ses mains. ¹⁷ Abija et son peuple leur firent éprouver une grande défaite, et cinq cent mille hommes d'élite tombèrent morts parmi ceux d'Israël. ¹⁸ Les enfants d'Israël furent humiliés en ce temps, et les enfants de Juda remportèrent la victoire, parce qu'ils s'étaient appuyés sur l'Eternel, le Dieu de leurs pères. ¹⁹ Abija poursuivit Jéroboam et lui prit des villes, Béthel et les villes de son ressort, Jeschana et les villes de son ressort, et Ephron et les villes de son ressort. ²⁰ Jéroboam n'eut plus de force du temps d'Abija; et l'Eternel le frappa, et il mourut. ²¹ Mais Abija devint puissant; il eut quatorze femmes, et engendra vingt-deux fils et seize filles. ²² Le reste des actions d'Abija, ce qu'il a fait et ce qu'il a dit, cela est écrit dans les mémoires du prophète Iddo.

1 H8083 ¶ La dix-huitième H6240 H8141 année H4428 du règne H3379 de Jéroboam H29 , Abija H4427 régna H8799 H3063 sur Juda.

2 H4427 Il régna H8804 H7969 trois H8141 ans H3389 à Jérusalem H517 . Sa mère H8034 s’appelait H4322 Micaja H1323 , fille H222 d’Uriel H1390 , de Guibea H4421 . Il y eut guerre H29 entre Abija H3379 et Jéroboam.

3 H29 Abija H631 engagea H8799 H4421 les hostilités H2428 avec une armée H1368 de vaillants H4421 guerriers H702 , quatre H3967 cent H505 mille H376 hommes H977 d’élite H8803 H3379 ; et Jéroboam H6186 se rangea H8804 H4421 en bataille H8083 contre lui avec huit H3967 cent H505 mille H376 hommes H977 d’élite H8803 H1368 , vaillants H2428 guerriers.

4 H2022 Du haut du mont H6787 Tsemaraïm H2022 , qui fait partie de la montagne H669 d’Ephraïm H29 , Abija H6965 se leva H8799 H559 et dit H8799 H8085 : Ecoutez H8798 H3379 -moi, Jéroboam H3478 , et tout Israël !

5 H3045 Ne devez-vous pas savoir H8800 H3068 que l’Eternel H430 , le Dieu H3478 d’Israël H5414 , a donné H8804 H5769 pour toujours H1732 à David H4467 la royauté H3478 sur Israël H1121 , à lui et à ses fils H1285 , par une alliance H4417 inviolable ?

6 H3379 Mais Jéroboam H1121 , fils H5028 de Nebath H5650 , serviteur H8010 de Salomon H1121 , fils H1732 de David H6965 , s’est levé H8799 H4775 et s’est révolté H8799 H113 contre son maître.

7 H582 Des gens H7386 de rien H1121 , des hommes pervers H1100 H6908 , se sont rassemblés H8735 H553 auprès de lui et l’ont emporté H8691 H7346 sur Roboam H1121 , fils H8010 de Salomon H7346 . Roboam H5288 était jeune H7390 et craintif H3824 H2388 , et il manqua de force H8694 H6440 devant eux.

8 H559 Et maintenant, vous pensez H8802 H2388 triompher H8692 H6440 du royaume H4467 H3068 de l’Eternel H3027 , qui est entre les mains H1121 des fils H1732 de David H1995 ; et vous êtes une multitude H7227 nombreuse H5695 , et vous avez avec vous les veaux H2091 d’or H3379 que Jéroboam H6213 vous a faits H8804 H430 pour dieux.

9 H5080 N’avez-vous pas repoussé H8689 H3548 les sacrificateurs H3068 de l’Eternel H1121 , les fils H175 d’Aaron H3881 et les Lévites H6213 , et ne vous êtes-vous pas fait H8799 H3548 des sacrificateurs H5971 , comme les peuples H776 des autres pays H935 ? Quiconque venait H8802 H1121 avec un jeune H1241 H6499 taureau H7651 et sept H352 béliers H4390 , afin d’être consacré H8763 H3027 H3548 , devenait sacrificateur H3808 de ce qui n’est point H430 Dieu.

10 H3068 Mais pour nous, l’Eternel H430 est notre Dieu H5800 , et nous ne l’avons point abandonné H8804 H3548 , les sacrificateurs H8334 au service H8764 H3068 de l’Eternel H1121 sont fils H175 d’Aaron H3881 , et les Lévites H4399 remplissent leurs fonctions.

11 H6999 Nous offrons H8688 H1242 chaque matin H6153 et chaque soir H5930 des holocaustes H3068 à l’Eternel H7004 , nous brûlons le parfum H5561 odoriférant H3899 , nous mettons les pains H4635 de proposition H7979 sur la table H2889 pure H1197 , et nous allumons H8763 H6153 chaque soir H4501 le chandelier H2091 d’or H5216 et ses lampes H8104 ; car nous observons H8802 H4931 les commandements H3068 de l’Eternel H430 , notre Dieu H5800 . Et vous, vous l’avez abandonné H8804 .

12 H430 Voici, Dieu H3548 et ses sacrificateurs H7218 sont avec nous, à notre tête H2689 , et nous avons les trompettes H8643 retentissantes H7321 pour les faire résonner H8687 H1121 contre vous. Enfants H3478 d’Israël H3898 ! ne faites pas la guerre H8735 H3068 à l’Eternel H430 , le Dieu H1 de vos pères H6743 , car vous n’auriez aucun succès H8686 .

13 H3379 ¶ Jéroboam H935 les prit H8800 H5437 par derrière H8689 H310 H3993 au moyen d’une embuscade H6440 , et ses troupes étaient en face H3063 de Juda H3993 , qui avait l’embuscade H310 par derrière.

14 H3063 Ceux de Juda H6437 s’étant retournés H8799 H4421 eurent à combattre H6440 devant H268 et derrière H6817 . Ils crièrent H8799 H3068 à l’Eternel H3548 , et les sacrificateurs H2690 sonnèrent H8688 H8675 H2690 H8764 H2689 des trompettes.

15 H376 Les hommes H3063 de Juda H7321 poussèrent un cri H8686 H7321 de guerre et, au cri H8687 H376 de guerre des hommes H3063 de Juda H5062 , l’Eternel frappa H8804 H3379 Jéroboam H3478 et tout Israël H6440 devant H29 Abija H3063 et Juda.

16 H1121 Les enfants H3478 d’Israël H5127 s’enfuirent H8799 H6440 devant H3063 Juda H430 , et Dieu H5414 les livra H8799 H3027 entre ses mains.

17 H29 Abija H5971 et son peuple H5221 leur firent éprouver H8686 H7227 une grande H4347 défaite H2568 , et cinq H3967 cent H505 mille H376 hommes H977 d’élite H8803 H5307 tombèrent H8799 H2491 morts H3478 parmi ceux d’Israël.

18 H1121 Les enfants H3478 d’Israël H3665 furent humiliés H8735 H6256 en ce temps H1121 , et les enfants H3063 de Juda H553 remportèrent la victoire H8799 H8172 , parce qu’ils s’étaient appuyés H8738 H3068 sur l’Eternel H430 , le Dieu H1 de leurs pères.

19 H29 Abija H7291 poursuivit H8799 H310 H3379 Jéroboam H3920 et lui prit H8799 H5892 des villes H1008 , Béthel H1323 et les villes H3466 de son ressort, Jeschana H1323 et les villes H6085 de son ressort, et Ephron H1323 et les villes de son ressort.

20 H3379 Jéroboam H6113 n’eut plus de force H8804 H3581 H3117 du temps H29 d’Abija H3068 ; et l’Eternel H5062 le frappa H8799 H4191 , et il mourut H8799 .

21 H29 Mais Abija H2388 devint puissant H8691 H5375 ; il eut H8799 H702 quatorze H6240 H802 femmes H3205 , et engendra H8686 H6242 vingt H8147 -deux H1121 fils H8337 et seize H6240 H1323 filles.

22 H3499 Le reste H1697 des actions H29 d’Abija H1870 , ce qu’il a fait H1697 et ce qu’il a dit H3789 , cela est écrit H8803 H4097 dans les mémoires H5030 du prophète H5714 Iddo.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A los dieciocho años del rey Jeroboam, reinó Abías sobre Judá. ² Y reinó tres años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Micaías hija de Uriel de Gabaa.

Oh hijos de Israel, no peleéis contra el SEÑOR Dios de vuestros padres, porque no os sucederá bien. ¹³ Pero Jeroboam hizo girar una emboscada para venir a ellos por la espalda; y estando así delante de ellos, la emboscada estaba a espaldas de Judá. ¹⁴ Entonces cuando miró Judá, he aquí que tenía batalla delante y a las espaldas; por lo que clamaron al SEÑOR, y los sacerdotes tocaron las trompetas, ¹⁵ y los de Judá alzaron grita.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Në vitin e tetëmbëdhjetë të mbretërisë së Jeroboamit, Abijahu filloi të mbretërojë në Judë. ² Ai mbretëroi tre vjet në Jeruzalem. E ëma quhej Mikajah; ishte bija e Urielit nga Gibeahu. Pati luftë midis Abijahut dhe Jeroboamit. ³ Abijahu u përgatit për betejën me një ushtri me luftëtarë trima, katërqind mijë njerëz të zgjedhur; edhe Jeroboami u radhit në rend beteje kundër tij me tetëqind mijë burra të zgjedhur, njerëz të fortë dhe trima. ⁴ Duke qëndruar në malin e Tsemaraimit, që ndodhet në krahinën malore të Efraimit, Abijahu tha: "Më dëgjoni, Jeroboam dhe tërë Izraeli! ⁵ A nuk e dini vallë që Zoti, Perëndia i Izraelit, ia ka dhënë për gjithnjë Davidit mbretërimin mbi Izrael, atij dhe bijve të tij, me një besëlidhje kripe? ⁶ Megjithatë Jeroboami, bir i Nebatit, shërbëtor i Salomonit, birit të Davidit, u ngrit dhe u rebelua kundër zotërisë së tij. ⁷ Rreth tij ishin mbledhur njerëz të neveritshëm dhe horra, që ishin bërë të fortë kundër Roboamit, birit të Salomonit, kur Roboami ishte i ri dhe pa përvojë, dhe nuk ishte mjaft i fortë sa t'u rezistonte atyre. ⁸ Tani ju mendoni të mund t'i rezistoni mbretërisë të Zotit, që është në duart e bijve të Davidit, sepse jeni një shumicë e madhe dhe keni me vete viçat e artë që Jeroboami ka bërë për ju si perënditë tuaja. ⁹ A nuk keni dëbuar vallë priftërinjtë e Zotit, bij të Aaronit, dhe Levitët dhe nuk jeni bërë priftërinj si popujt e vendeve të tjera? Kështu kushdo që vjen me një dem të vogël dhe me shtatë desh për t'u shenjtëruar, mund të bëhet prift i atyre që nuk janë perëndi. ¹⁰ Sa për ne, Zoti është Perëndia ynë dhe ne nuk e kemi braktisur; priftërinjtë që i shërbejnë Zotit janë bij të Aaronit, ndërsa Levitët kryejnë detyrat e tyre. ¹¹ Çdo mëngjes e çdo mbrëmje ata i ofrojnë Zotit olokauste dhe temjan erëmirë; për më tepër ata i vendosin bukët e paraqitjes në një tryezë të pastër, dhe çdo mbrëmje ndezin shandanin e artë me llambat e tij, sepse ne respektojmë urdhrin e Zotit, Perëndisë tonë, por ju e keni braktisur. ¹² Dhe ja, vet Perëndia është me ne, mbi kryet tonë dhe priftërinjtë me buri kumbonjëse janë duke i rënë alarmit kundër jush. O bij të Izraelit, mos luftoni kundër Zotit, Perëndisë të etërve tuaj, sepse nuk do të keni sukses". ¹³ Ndërkaq Jeroboami me një pritë u mori krahët për t'i sulmuar; kështu ndërsa ai ishte radhitur para Judës, ata të pritës ndodheshin prapa tyre. ¹⁴ Kur ata të Judës u kthyen, vunë re që beteja i priste si nga përpara ashtu dhe nga prapa. Atëherë i klithën Zotit dhe priftërinjtë u ranë borive. ¹⁵ Pastaj njerëzit e Judës lëshuan një britmë dhe, ndërsa njerëzit e Judës ulërinin, ndodhi që Perëndia goditi Jeroboamin dhe tërë Izraelin përpara Abijahut dhe Judës. ¹⁶ Kështu bijtë e Izraelit ikën përpara Judës, dhe Perëndia i dorëzoi në duart e tij. ¹⁷ Abijahu dhe njerëzit e tij i mundën keq; nga radhët e Izraelitëve ranë të vdekur pesëqind mijë luftëtarë të zgjedhur. ¹⁸ Kështu në atë kohë bijtë e Izraelit u poshtëruan, ndërsa bijtë e Judës u përforcuan sepse ishin mbështetur tek Zoti, Perëndia i etërve të tyre. ¹⁹ Abijahu e ndoqi Jeroboamin dhe i mori qytetet që vijojnë: Bethelin me fshatrat përreth, Jeshanahun me fshatrat përreth dhe Efraimin me fshatrat përreth. ²⁰ Kështu gjatë jetës së Abijahut, Jeroboami nuk e mblodhi më veten; pastaj Zoti e goditi dhe ai vdiq. ²¹ Abijahu përkundrazi u bë i fuqishëm, mori katërmbëdhjetë gra dhe pati njëzet e dy djem dhe gjashtëmbëdhjetë vajza. ²² Pjesa tjetër e bëmave të Abijahut, sjellja dhe fjalët e tija janë përshkruar në kronikat e profetit Ido.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ В восемнадцатый год царствования Иеровоама воцарился Авия над Иудою. ² Три года он царствовал в Иерусалиме; имя матери его Михаия, дочь Уриилова, из Гивы. И была война у Авии с Иеровоамом. ³ И вывел Авия на войну войско, состоявшее из людей храбрых, из четырехсот тысяч человек отборных; а Иеровоам выступил против него на войну свосемью стами тысяч человек, также отборных, храбрых. ⁴ И стал Авия на вершине горы Цемараимской, одной из гор Ефремовых, и говорил: послушайте меня, Иеровоам и все Израильтяне! ⁵ Не знаете ли вы, что Господь Бог Израилев дал царство Давиду над Израилем навек, ему и сыновьям его, по завету соли? ⁶ Но восстал Иеровоам, сын Наватов, раб Соломона, сына Давидова, и возмутился против господина своего. ⁷ И собрались вокруг него люди пустые, люди развращенные, и укрепились против Ровоама, сына Соломонова; Ровоам же был молод и слаб сердцем и не устоял против них. ⁸ И ныне вы думаете устоять против царства Господня в руке сынов Давидовых, потому что вас великое множество, и у вас золотые тельцы, которых Иеровоам сделал вам богами. ⁹ Не вы ли изгнали священников Господних, сынов Аарона, и левитов, и поставили у себя священников, какие у народов других земель? Всякий, кто приходит для посвящения своего с тельцом и с семью овнами, делается у вас священником лжебогов. ¹⁰ А у нас – Господь Бог наш; мы не оставляли Его, и Господу служат священники, сыны Аароновы, и левиты при своем деле. ¹¹ И сожигают они Господу всесожжения каждое утро и каждый вечер, и благовонное курение, и полагают рядами хлебы на столе чистом, и зажигают золотой светильник и лампады его, чтобы горели каждый вечер, потому что мы соблюдаем установление Господа Бога нашего,а вы оставили Его. ¹² И вот, у нас во главе Бог, и священники Его, и трубы громогласные, чтобы греметь противвас. Сыны Израилевы! не воюйте с Господом Богом отцов ваших, ибо не получите успеха. ¹³ Между тем Иеровоам послал отряд в засаду с тыла им, так что сам он был впереди Иудеев, а засада позади их. ¹⁴ И оглянулись Иудеи, и вот, им битва спереди и сзади; и возопилиони к Господу, а священники затрубили трубами. ¹⁵ И воскликнули Иудеи. И когда воскликнули Иудеи, Бог поразил Иеровоама и всех Израильтян пред лицем Авии и Иуды. ¹⁶ И побежали сыны Израилевы от Иудеев, и предал их Бог в руки им. ¹⁷ И произвели у них Авия и народ его поражение сильное; и пало убитых у Израиля пятьсот тысяч человек отборных. ¹⁸ И смирились тогда сыны Израилевы, и были сильны сыны Иудины, потому что уповали на Господа Бога отцов своих. ¹⁹ И преследовал Авия Иеровоама и взял у него города: Вефиль и зависящие от него города, и Иешану и зависящие от нее города,и Ефрон и зависящие от него города. ²⁰ И не входил уже в силу Иеровоам во дни Авии. И поразил его Господь, и он умер. ²¹ Авия же усилился; и взял себе четырнадцать жен и родил двадцать два сына и шестнадцать дочерей. ²² Прочие деяния Авии и его поступки и слова описаны в сказании пророка Адды.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ في السنة الثامنة عشر للملك يربعام ملك ابيا على يهوذا. ² ملك ثلاث سنين في اورشليم. واسم امه ميخايا بنت اوريئيل من جبعة وكانت حرب بين ابيا ويربعام. ³ وابتدأ ابيا في الحرب بجيش من جبابرة القتال اربع مئة الف رجل مختار ويربعام اصطف لمحاربته بثمان مئة الف رجل مختار جبابرة بأس ⁴ وقام ابيا على جبل صمارايم الذي في جبل افرايم وقال اسمعوني يا يربعام وكل اسرائيل. ⁵ أما لكم ان تعرفوا ان الرب اله اسرائيل اعطى الملك على اسرائيل لداود الى الابد ولبنيه بعهد ملح. ⁶ فقام يربعام بن نباط عبد سليمان بن داود وعصى سيده. ⁷ فاجتمع اليه رجال بطالون بنو بليعال وتشددوا على رحبعام بن سليمان وكان رحبعام فتى رقيق القلب فلم يثبت امامهم. ⁸ والآن انتم تقولون انكم تثبتون امام مملكة الرب بيد بني داود وانتم جمهور كثير ومعكم عجول ذهب قد عملها يربعام لكم آلهة. ⁹ أما طردتم كهنة الرب بني هرون واللاويين وعملتم لانفسكم كهنة كشعوب الاراضي كل من أتى ليملأ يده بثور ابن بقر وسبعة كباش صار كاهنا للذين ليسوا آلهة. ¹⁰ واما نحن فالرب هو الهنا ولم نتركه والكهنة الخادمون الرب هم بنو هرون واللاويون في العمل ¹¹ ويوقدون للرب محرقات كل صباح ومساء وبخور اطياب وخبز الوجوه على المائدة الطاهرة ومنارة الذهب وسرجها للايقاد كل مساء لاننا نحن حارسون حراسة الرب الهنا. واما انتم فقد تركتموه. ¹² وهوذا معنا الله رئيسا وكهنته وابواق الهتاف للهتاف عليكم. فيا بني اسرائيل لا تحاربوا الرب اله آبائكم لانكم لا تفلحون ¹³ ولكن يربعام جعل الكمين يدور ليأتي من خلفهم. فكانوا امام يهوذا والكمين خلفهم. ¹⁴ فالتفت يهوذا واذا الحرب عليهم من قدام ومن خلف. فصرخوا الى الرب وبوّق الكهنة بالابواق ¹⁵ وهتف رجال يهوذا ولما هتف رجال يهوذا ضرب الله يربعام وكل اسرائيل امام ابيا ويهوذا. ¹⁶ فانهزم بنو اسرائيل من امام يهوذا ودفعهم الله ليدهم. ¹⁷ وضربهم ابيا وقومه ضربة عظيمة فسقط قتلى من اسرائيل خمس مئة الف رجل مختار. ¹⁸ فذلّ بنو اسرائيل في ذلك الوقت وتشجع بنو يهوذا لانهم اتكلوا على الرب اله آبائهم. ¹⁹ وطارد ابيا يربعام واخذ منه مدنا بيت ايل وقراها ويشانة وقراها وعفرون وقراها. ²⁰ ولم يقو يربعام بعد في ايام ابيا فضربه الرب ومات ²¹ وتشدّد ابيا واتخذ لنفسه اربعة عشرة امرأة وولد اثنين وعشرين ابنا وست عشرة بنتا. ²² وبقية امور ابيا وطرقه واقواله مكتوبة في مدرس النبي عدّو

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ В осемнадесетата година на цар Еровоам Авия се възцари над Юда. ² Той царува три години в Ерусалим. Името на майка му бе Михая, дъщерята на Уриил от Гавая. И между Авия и Еровоам имаше война. ³ И Авия започна войната с войска от силни воини, четиристотин хиляди избрани мъже; а Еровоам се строи за бой против него с осемстотин хиляди избрани мъже, силни и храбри. ⁴ Тогава Авия застана на хълма Семараим, който е в хълмистата земя на Ефрем, и каза: Чуйте ме, Еровоаме и целият Израил! ⁵ Не трябва ли да знаете, че ГОСПОД, Израилевият Бог, даде израилевото царство на Давид до века, на него и синовете му, със завет на сол? ⁶ Но Еровоам, синът на Нават, слуга на Давидовия син Соломон, стана и се надигна против господаря си. ⁷ И при него се събраха безчестни и негодни мъже и се засилиха против Ровоам, сина на Соломон, когато Ровоам беше млад и с меко сърце и не можеше да им противостои. ⁸ А сега вие мислите да противостоите на царството на ГОСПОДА, което е в ръката на Давидовите синове, защото сте голямо множество и при вас са златните телета, които Еровоам ви е направил за богове. ⁹ Не отхвърлихте ли вие ГОСПОДНИТЕ свещеници, синовете на Аарон, и левитите и не си ли направихте свещеници като народите на другите страни? Всеки, който дойде с юнец и седем овена да се посвети за свещеник, става свещеник на онези, които не са богове. ¹⁰ А за нас, ГОСПОД е наш Бог и ние не сме Го оставили. И свещениците, които служат на ГОСПОДА, са синовете на Аарон, и левитите са в службата. ¹¹ И те всяка сутрин и всяка вечер изгарят на ГОСПОДА всеизгаряния и благоуханен тамян, и нареждат присъствените хлябове върху чистата маса, и златния светилник и светилата му, за да ги палят всяка вечер — защото ние пазим заповяданото от ГОСПОДА, нашия Бог, а вие Го оставихте. ¹² Ето, Бог е с нас начело, и свещениците Му с гръмогласни тръби, за да свирят против вас. Синове на Израил, не воювайте против ГОСПОДА, Бога на бащите си, защото няма да успеете! ¹³ Но Еровоам накара една засада да заобиколи и да отиде зад тях, така че те бяха пред Юда, а засадата — зад тях. ¹⁴ И когато Юда се огледа, ето, боят беше и пред тях, и зад тях. Тогава извикаха към ГОСПОДА и свещениците засвириха с тръбите, ¹⁵ и юдовите мъже нададоха боен вик. И когато юдовите мъже нададоха боен вик, Бог разби Еровоам и целия Израил пред Авия и Юда. ¹⁶ И израилевите синове побягнаха пред Юда и Бог ги предаде в ръката им. ¹⁷ И Авия и народът му им нанесоха голямо поражение и от Израил паднаха убити петстотин хиляди избрани мъже. ¹⁸ Така израилевите синове бяха смирени в онова време, а юдовите синове се засилиха, понеже се уповаха на ГОСПОДА, Бога на бащите си. ¹⁹ И Авия преследва Еровоам и му отне градовете: Ветил и селата му и Есана и селата му, и Ефрон и селата му. ²⁰ И в дните на Авия Еровоам не си възвърна вече силата. И ГОСПОД го порази и той умря. ²¹ А Авия се засили. И той взе четиринадесет жени и роди двадесет и двама сина и шестнадесет дъщери. ²² А останалите дела на Авия и пътищата му, и словата му са записани в писанията на пророк Идо.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Osamnaeste godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja zakralji se Abija nad Judejom. ² Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Mikaja, Urielova kći iz Gabe. Tada izbi rat između Abije i Jeroboama. ³ Abija je izašao u boj s hrabrim ratnicima, sa četiri stotine tisuća izabranih junaka; Jeroboam je svrstao u bojni red protiv njega osam stotina tisuća ljudi, sve biranih junaka. ⁴ Abija je stao na vrh Semarajimske gore u Efrajimovu gorju i rekao: "Čujte me, Jeroboame i sav Izraele! ⁵ Ne znate li da je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, predao Davidu kraljevstvo nad Izraelom zauvijek, njemu i njegovim sinovima, osoljenim savezom? ⁶ Ali se podigao Nebatov sin Jeroboam, sluga Davidova sina Salomona, i pobunio se protiv gospodara. ⁷ Skupili su se oko njega ljudi praznovi i nevaljalci i stali prkositi Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, koji je bio mlad i strašljiva srca te se nije umio hrabro braniti od njih. ⁸ Pa sada mislite da se možete oprijeti Jahvinu kraljevstvu što je u ruci Davidovih sinova jer vas je veliko mnoštvo i imate kod sebe zlatnu telad koju vam je napravio Jeroboam da vam budu bogovi. ⁹ Otjerali ste Jahvine svećenike, Aronove sinove i levite, i postavili sebi svećenike kao drugi zemaljski narodi. Tko je god došao s juncem i sa sedam ovnova, postao je svećenik vašim ništavim bogovima. ¹⁰ Nama je Bog Jahve, nismo ga ostavili, a svećenici koji služe Jahvi jesu Aronovi sinovi i leviti u svojem poslu. ¹¹ Pale Jahvi na kad paljenice svakoga jutra i svake večeri s mirisnim kadom, postavljaju kruhove na čist stol i upaljuju svake večeri zlatan svijećnjak sa svijećama; jer mi držimo naredbu Jahve, svojega Boga, a vi ste ga ostavili. ¹² Zato je, evo, nama na čelu Bog i njegovi svećenici s glasnim trubama da gromko trube protiv vas. Izraelovi sinovi, ne udarajte na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, jer nećete imati sreće!" ¹³ Ali Jeroboam zavede zasjedu da im dođe za leđa; tako su Judejcima bili jedni sprijeda, a zasjeda straga. ¹⁴ Kad se Judejci obazreše, a ono, gle, boj im bješe sprijeda i otraga. Tada zavapiše k Jahvi, a svećenici stadoše trubiti u trube. ¹⁵ Uto Judejci snažno povikaše, a kad su počeli vikati, Bog razbi Jeroboama i sav Izrael pred Abijom i Judejcima. ¹⁶ Izraelovi sinovi pobjegoše pred Judejcima i Bog ih predade njima u ruke. ¹⁷ Abija je s narodom učinio velik pokolj među njima te je od Izraela palo pobijenih pet stotina tisuća izabranih ljudi. ¹⁸ Tako su sinovi Izraelovi bili poniženi u to vrijeme, a Judini su sinovi ojačali, jer su se oslonili na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca. ¹⁹ Abija je potjerao Jeroboama i osvojio od njega gradove Betel sa selima, Ješanu sa selima i Efron sa selima. ²⁰ Jeroboam se više nije oporavio za Abijina života; Jahve ga je udario tako da je umro. ²¹ Abija se utvrdio i uzeo sebi četrnaest žena te je rodio dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kćeri. ²² A ostali Abijini doživljaji i njegovi pothvati i besjede zapisani su u tumačenju proroka Adona. [ (II Chronicles 13:23) Potom Abija počinu kraj svojih otaca. Sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu; na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Asa. Za njegovih je dana zemlja bila mirna deset godina. ]

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Léta osmnáctého krále Jeroboáma kraloval Abiáš nad Judou. ² Tři léta kraloval v Jeruzalémě, (a jméno matky jeho Michaia, dcera Urielova z Gabaa), a byla válka mezi Abiášem a Jeroboámem. ³ Pročež sšikoval Abiáš vojsko udatných bojovníků, čtyřikrát sto tisíc mužů výborných, Jeroboám pak sšikoval se proti němu, maje osmkrát sto tisíc mužů výborných, velmi udatných. ⁴ I postavil se Abiáš na vrchu hory Semaraim, kteráž byla mezi horami Efraimskými, a řekl: Slyšte mne, Jeroboáme i všecken Izraeli. ⁵ Zdaliž jste neměli věděti, že Hospodin Bůh Izraelský dal království Davidovi nad Izraelem na věky, jemu i synům jeho smlouvou trvánlivou? ⁶ Ale povstal Jeroboám syn Nebatův, služebník Šalomouna syna Davidova, a zprotivil se pánu svému. ⁷ A sebrali se k němu lidé nevážní a bezbožní a zsilili se proti Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu, Roboám pak byv dítě a srdce choulostivého, neodepřel jim zmužile. ⁸ Tak vy nyní myslíte zsiliti se proti království Hospodinovu, kteréž jest v ruce synů Davidových, a jest vás veliké množství; máte také při sobě telata zlatá, kterýchž vám nadělal Jeroboám, za bohy. ⁹ Zdaliž jste nezavrhli kněží Hospodinových, synů Aronových a Levítů, a nadělali jste sobě kněží, tak jako národové jiných zemí? Kdožkoli přichází, aby posvěceny byly ruce jeho volčetem mladým a sedmi skopci, hned je knězem těch, jenž nejsou bohové. ¹⁰ Ale my jsme Hospodina Boha našeho, aniž jsme se ho spustili, kněží pak přisluhující Hospodinu jsou synové Aronovi a Levítové, kteříž konají práci svou, ¹¹ A pálí Hospodinu zápaly každého jitra a každého večera, kadí také vonnými věcmi, zpořádaní také chlebů na stole čistém, a svícen zlatý s lampami jeho spravují, aby hořely každého večera. A tak my ostříháme nařízení Hospodina Boha svého, ale vy strhli jste se jeho. ¹² Protož aj, s námi jest Bůh vůdce náš, a kněží jeho a trouby zvučné, aby zněly proti vám. Synové Izraelští, nebojujte s Hospodinem Bohem otců svých, nebo nepovede se vám šťastně. ¹³ Mezi tím Jeroboám obvedl zálohy, aby po zadu na ně připadli, a tak byli Izraelští před Judskými, a zálohy ty byly jim pozadu. ¹⁴ Tedy spatřiv Juda, an válka jim s předu i s zadu, zvolali k Hospodinu, a kněží troubili v trouby. ¹⁵ Učinili také pokřik muži Judští. I stalo se v tom pokřiku mužů Judských, ranil Bůh Jeroboáma i všecken Izrael před Abiášem a Judou. ¹⁶ A tak utíkali synové Izraelští před Judou, ale dal je Bůh v ruku jejich. ¹⁷ Nebo porazili je Abiáš a lid jeho ranou velikou, tak že padlo zbitých z Izraele pětkrát sto tisíc mužů výborných. ¹⁸ Protož sníženi jsou synové Izraelští v ten čas, a zmocnili se synové Judovi, nebo zpolehli na Hospodina Boha otců svých. ¹⁹ I honil Abiáš Jeroboáma, a vzal mu města, Bethel i vsi jeho, Jesana i vsi jeho, a Efron i vsi jeho. ²⁰ Aniž se mohl zase zsiliti více Jeroboám po všecky dny Abiášovy. I ranil jej Hospodin, tak že umřel. ²¹ Ale Abiáš zmocnil se, kterýž byl sobě pojal žen čtrnáct, a zplodil dvamecítma synů a šestnácte dcer. ²² Ostatek pak činů Abiášových, a života jeho i řečí jeho, sepsáno jest v knize proroka Iddo.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I Kong Jeroboams attende Aar, da blev Abia Konge over Juda. ² Han regerede tre Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Mikaja, Uriel Datter fra Gibea; og der var Krig imellem Abia og imellem Jeroboam ³ Og Abia begyndte Krigen med en Hær af vældige Krigsfolk, fire Hundrede Tusinde udvalgte Mænd; og Jeroboam rustede sig imod ham til Krig med otte Hundrede Tusinde udvalgte Mænd, vældige til Strid. ⁴ Og Abia stod frem paa Zemaraims Bjerg, som hører til Efraims Bjerge, og sagde: Hører mig, Jeroboam og Israel! ⁵ Burde det ikke eder at vide, at HERREN, Israels Gud, har givet David Regeringen over Israel evindelig, ham og hans Sønner ved en Saltpagt? ⁶ Men Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, Salomos, Davids Søns, Tjener rejste sig og affaldt fra sin Herre, ⁷ Og løse Mænd, Belials Børn, samlede sig til ham og satte sig vældig op imod Roboam, Salomos Søn; thi Roboam var ung og blødhjertet, saa at han ikke kunde vise Styrke imod dem. ⁸ Og nu tænke I, at I ville vise eders Styrke imod HERRENS Rige, som er i Davids Sønners Haand, fordi I ere en stor Hob og have hos eder Guldkalve, som Jeroboam gjorde til Guder for eder. ⁹ Have I ikke fordrevet HERRENS Præster, Arons Sønner og Leviterne, og gjort eder selv Præster ligesom Folkene i Landene hver den, som kommer for at fylde sin Haand med en ung Tyr og syv Vædre, han bliver Præst for dem, som ikke ere Guder. ¹⁰ Men hvad os angaar, da er HERREN vor Gud, og vi have ikke forladt ham; og Præsterne, som tjene HERREN, Arons Børn og Leviterne, ere i Tjenesten; ¹¹ og de antænde Brændofrene for HERREN hver Morgen og hver Aften og Røgofferet af vellugtende Urter og sætte Skuebrødene paa det rene Bord og Guldlysestagen og dens Lamper, der tændes hver Aften; thi vi holde HERREN vor Guds Skik, men I, I have forladt ham. ¹² Derfor se, med os, i Spidsen for os er Gud og hans Præster, og de stærktlydende Basuner, der skulle lyde imod eder; I, Israels Børn, strider ikke imod HERREN, eders Fædres Gud; thi det skal ikke lykkes eder. ¹³ Men Jeroboam lod et Baghold gaa omkring for at komme bag paa dem, saa de selv vare foran Juda og Bagholdet bag dem. ¹⁴ Og Juda saa sig om, og se. da var der Kamp foran dem og bag dem, og de raabte til HERREN, og Præsterne blæste i Basunerne. ¹⁵ Og Judas Mænd skrege, og det skete, der Judas Mænd skrege, da slog Gud Jeroboam og al Israel for Abias og Judas Ansigt. ¹⁶ Og Israels Børn flyede for Judas Ansigt, og Gud gav dem i deres Haand. ¹⁷ Og Abia og hans Folk slog dem med et stort Slag, og de ihjelslagne, som faldt af Israel, vare fem Hundrede Tusinde udvalgte Mænd. ¹⁸ Saa bleve Israels Børn ydmygede samme Tid, men Judas Børn bleve styrkede; thi de forlode sig fast paa HERREN, deres Fædres Gud. ¹⁹ Og Abia forfulgte Jeroboam og tog Stæder fra ham, nemlig Bethel med dens tilhørende Byer og Jesana med dens tilhørende Byer og Efron med dens tilhørende Byer. ²⁰ Og Jeroboam kom ikke ydermere til Kræfter i Abias Dage, og HERREN slog ham, saa han døde. ²¹ Men Abia blev mægtig og tog sig fjorten Hustruer og avlede to og tyve Sønner og seksten Døtre. ²² Men det øvrige. af Abias Handeler, baade hans Veje og hans Ord, ere skrevne i Profeten Iddos Historie.

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 耶罗波安王十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王， ² 在耶路撒冷作王叁年。他母亲名叫米该亚 ( 又作玛迦 ) ，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战。 ³ 冇一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵，都是勇敢的战士；耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万，对亚比雅摆阵。 ⁴ 亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说：耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说！ ⁵ 耶和华 ― 以色列的　神曾立盐 ( 即不废坏的意思 ) 约，将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道么？ ⁶ 无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆、尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。 ⁷ 冇些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安；那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。 ⁸ 现在你们冇意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又冇耶罗波安为你们所造当作　神的金牛犊。 ⁹ 你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人么？不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司么？无论何人牵一隻公牛犊、七隻公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之　神的祭司。 ¹⁰ 至于我们，耶和华是我们的　神，我们并没冇离弃他。我们冇事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并冇利未人各尽其职， ¹¹ 每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼；又冇金灯臺和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华 ― 我们　神的命；唯冇你们离弃了他。 ¹² 率领我们的是　神，我们这里也冇　神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华 ― 你们列祖的　神争战，因你们必不能亨通。 ¹³ 耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。 ¹⁴ 犹大人回头观看，见前后都冇敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。 ¹⁵ 于是犹大人呐喊；犹大人呐喊的时候，　神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。 ¹⁶ 以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑，　神将他们交在犹大人手里。 ¹⁷ 亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵冇五十万。 ¹⁸ 那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华 ― 他们列祖的　神。 ¹⁹ 亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音 ( 或作以弗伦 ) 和属以法拉音的镇市。 ²⁰ 亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛；耶和华攻击他，他就死了。 ²¹ 亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。 ²² 亚比雅其余的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。

5 H3068 耶和华 H3478 ―以色列 H430 的　神 H4417 曾立盐 H1285 (即不废坏的意思)约 H3478 ，将以色列 H4467 国 H5769 永远 H5414 赐给 H1732 大卫 H1121 和他的子孙 H3045 ，你们不知道么？

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ En la dek-oka jaro de la regxo Jerobeam ekregxis Abija super Judujo. ² Tri jarojn li regxis en Jerusalem. La nomo de lia patrino estis Mihxaja, filino de Uriel, el Gibea. Milito estis inter Abija kaj Jerobeam. ³ Abija eliris en la militon kun anaro da bonaj militistoj, konsistanta el kvarcent mil viroj elektitaj; Jerobeam eliris en la militon kontraux li kun okcent mil viroj elektitaj, bonaj militistoj. ⁴ Abija starigxis supre sur la monto Cemaraim, kiu estas en la montaro de Efraim, kaj diris:Auxskultu min, ho Jerobeam kaj la tuta Izrael! ⁵ Vi devas ja scii, ke la Eternulo, Dio de Izrael, donis la regxadon super Izrael por cxiam al David, al li kaj al liaj filoj, per interligo de salo. ⁶ Sed levigxis Jerobeam, filo de Nebat, servanto de Salomono, filo de David, kaj ribelis kontraux sia sinjoro. ⁷ Kaj kolektigxis cxirkaux li homoj vantaj, homoj malvirtaj, kaj superfortis Rehxabeamon, filon de Salomono; Rehxabeam estis juna kaj molkora kaj ne povis rezisti al ili. ⁸ Kaj nun vi pensas, ke vi havos forton kontraux la regno de la Eternulo en la mano de la filoj de David, cxar vi prezentas grandan amason, kaj vi havas orajn bovidojn, kiujn Jerobeam faris dioj por vi. ⁹ Vi elpusxis ja la pastrojn de la Eternulo, la Aaronidojn kaj Levidojn, kaj vi faris al vi pastrojn kiel la popoloj de la aliaj landoj; cxiu, kiu venas por sia konsekrado kun bovo kaj kun sep sxafoj, farigxas pastro por la nedioj. ¹⁰ Sed kun ni estas la Eternulo, nia Dio; ni ne forlasis Lin; kaj al la Eternulo servas pastroj Aaronidoj kaj Levidoj laux ilia ofico, ¹¹ kaj ili bruligas al la Eternulo bruloferojn cxiumatene kaj cxiuvespere, kaj incensan aromajxon, kaj ili arangxas panon sur pura tablo, kaj la oran kandelabron kun gxiaj lucernoj, ke ili brulu cxiuvespere; cxar ni plenumas la preskribon de la Eternulo, nia Dio, kaj vi forlasis Lin. ¹² Vidu, kun ni, kiel nia cxefo, estas Dio, kaj ankaux Liaj pastroj kaj lauxtesonaj trumpetoj, por trumpetegi kontraux vi. Ho Izraelidoj, ne militu kontraux la Eternulo, Dio de viaj patroj, cxar vi ne havos sukceson. ¹³ Dume Jerobeam cxirkauxirigis embuskon, kiu aperis malantaux ili; tiamaniere estis militistoj antaux la Judoj kaj embusko malantaux ili. ¹⁴ La Judoj sin returnis, kaj ekvidis, ke ili havas batalon antauxe kaj malantauxe. Tiam ili ekkriis al la Eternulo, kaj la pastroj ektrumpetis per la trumpetoj. ¹⁵ Kaj la Judoj lauxte ekbruis; kaj kiam la Judoj ekbruis, Dio frapis Jerobeamon kaj cxiujn Izraelidojn antaux Abija kaj la Judoj. ¹⁶ Kaj la Izraelidoj ekkuris antaux la Judoj, kaj Dio transdonis ilin en la manojn de cxi tiuj. ¹⁷ Kaj Abija kaj lia popolo faris inter ili grandan baton; kaj falis mortigitoj el Izrael kvincent mil viroj elektitaj. ¹⁸ Tiam humiligxis la Izraelidoj, kaj fortigxis la Judoj, cxar ili apogis sin sur la Eternulo, Dio de iliaj patroj. ¹⁹ Kaj Abija persekutis Jerobeamon, kaj prenis de li urbojn:Bet-Elon kun gxiaj filinurboj, Jesxanan kun gxiaj filinurboj, kaj Efrainon kun gxiaj filinurboj. ²⁰ Kaj Jerobeam ne plu refortigxis en la tempo de Abija. Kaj la Eternulo frapis lin, kaj li mortis. ²¹ Sed Abija fortigxis. Kaj li prenis al si dek kvar edzinojn, kaj li naskigis dudek du filojn kaj dek ses filinojn. ²² La cetera historio de Abija, liaj agoj, kaj liaj vortoj estas priskribitaj en la komentario de la profeto Ido.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kuningas Jerobeamin kahdeksantena vuotena toistakymmentä tuli Abia Juudan kuninkaaksi, ² Ja hallitsi kolme ajastaikaa Jerusalemissa. Hänen äitinsä nimi oli Mikaja, Urielin tytär Gibeasta. Ja sota nousi Abian ja Jerobeamin välillä. ³ Ja Abia alkoi sodan neljänsadan tuhannen juuri väkevän ja valitun sotamiehen kanssa. Ja Jerobeam valmisti sotaa heitä vastaan kahdeksansadan tuhannen valitun ja urhoollisen sotamiehen kanssa. ⁴ Ja Abia nousi ylös Semaraimin vuorelle, joka oli Ephraimin vuorella, ja sanoi: kuulkaat minua, Jerobeam ja koko Israel! ⁵ Ettekö te tiedä Herran Israelin Jumalan antaneeksi Davidille kuninkaan valtakuntaa Israelissa ijankaikkisesti, hänelle ja hänen pojillensa suola liitolla? ⁶ Mutta Jerobeam Nebatin poika, Salomon Davidin pojan palvelia, nosti kapinan herraansa vastaan, ⁷ Ja hänen tykönsä kokoontui joutilaita miehiä ja Belialin lapsia, ja he vahvistivat itsensä Rehabeamia Salomon poikaa vastaan; sillä Rehabeam oli nuori ja pehmiä sydämestä, niin ettei hän voinut vahvistaa itsiänsä heitä vastaan. ⁸ Mutta te ajattelette vahvistaa teitänne Herran valtakuntaa vastaan, joka on Davidin poikain kädessä, että teitä on suuri joukko, ja pidätte kultaisia vasikoita, jotka Jerobeam teille jumaliksi tehnyt on. ⁹ Ettekö te ole ajaneet Herran pappeja Aaronin poikia ja Leviläisiä pois, ja olette itse teillenne tehneet pappeja, niinkuin kansat maakunnissa? Jokainen, joka tulee käsiänsä täyttämään nuorella mullilla ja seitsemällä oinaalla, se tulee papiksi niille, jotka ei jumalia ole. ¹⁰ Mutta Herra on meidän Jumalamme, jota emme hylkää; ja papit, jotka Herraa palvelevat, ovat Aaronin pojat, ja Leviläiset ovat heidän työssänsä, ¹¹ Ja sytyttävät Herralle polttouhrin joka aamuna ja ehtoona, niin myös yrttein suitsutuksen, ja valmistavat leipiä puhtaalle pöydälle ja kultakynttilänjalan lamppuinensa, niin että ne joka ehtoo sytytetään; sillä me pidämme Herran meidän Jumalamme vartiota; mutta te olette hänen hyljänneet. ¹² Ja katso, meidän kanssamme on Jumala esipäässä, ja hänen pappinsa pyhillä torvilla soittamassa teitä vastaan. Te Israelin lapset! älkäät sotiko Herraa isäinne Jumalaa vastaan; sillä se ei menesty. ¹³ Ja Jerobeam asetti väijytyksen ympäri, tullaksensa takaa heidän päällensä, niin että he olisivat itse Juudan edessä ja väijytys heidän takanansa. ¹⁴ Kuin Juuda katsoi ympärinsä, katso, niin oli sota sekä edessä että takana. Niin he huusivat Herran tykö, ja papit soittivat vaskitorvilla. ¹⁵ Ja joka mies huusi Juudassa. Ja kuin joka mies niin Juudassa huusi, löi Jumala Jerobeamin ja koko Israelin Abian ja Juudan edessä. ¹⁶ Ja Israelin lapset pakenivat Juudan edellä, ja Jumala antoi heitä heidän käsiinsä, ¹⁷ Niin että Abia löi väkinensä heitä suurella lyömisellä. Ja Israelissa lankesi lyötynä viisisataa tuhatta valittua sotamiestä. ¹⁸ Ja niin Israelin lapset nöyryytettiin siihen aikaan, ja Juudan lapset vahvistettiin; sillä he turvasivat Herraan isäinsä Jumalaan. ¹⁹ Ja Abia ajoi Jerobeamia takaa, ja voitti häneltä kaupungeita; Betelin kylinensä, Jesanan kylinensä ja Ephronin kylinensä; ²⁰ Niin ettei Jerobeam enää tullut voimaansa, niinkauvan kuin Abia eli: ja Herra rankaisi häntä, niin että hän kuoli. ²¹ Kuin Abia vahvistui, otti hän neljätoistakymmentä emäntää ja siitti kaksikolmattakymmentä poikaa ja kuusitoista tytärtä. ²² Mitä enempi Abiasta sanomista on, ja hänen teistänsä ja teoistansa, se on kirjoitettu Iddon prophetan tietokirjassa.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kuningas Jerobeamin kahdeksantenatoista hallitusvuotena tuli Abia Juudan kuninkaaksi. ² Hän hallitsi kolme vuotta Jerusalemissa. Hänen äitinsä nimi oli Mikaja, Uurielin tytär, Gibeasta. Mutta Abia ja Jerobeam olivat sodassa keskenään. ³ Abia alotti sodan urhoollisella sotajoukolla, neljälläsadalla tuhannella valiomiehellä, mutta Jerobeam asettui sotarintaan häntä vastaan kahdeksallasadalla tuhannella valiomiehellä, sotaurholla. ⁴ Ja Abia nousi Semaraimin vuoren laelle Efraimin vuoristossa ja sanoi: "Kuulkaa minua, Jerobeam ja koko Israel! ⁵ Täytyyhän teidän tietää, että Herra, Israelin Jumala, on antanut Daavidille ja hänen pojillensa ikuisiksi ajoiksi Israelin kuninkuuden, lujan kuin suolaliitto. ⁶ Mutta Jerobeam, Nebatin poika, Daavidin pojan Salomon palvelija, nousi ja kapinoitsi herraansa vastaan. ⁷ Ja hänen luoksensa kokoontui tyhjäntoimittajia, kelvottomia miehiä, ja he pääsivät voitolle Rehabeamista, Salomon pojasta, sillä Rehabeam oli nuori ja arka eikä voinut heitä vastustaa. ⁸ Ja nyt te luulette voivanne vastustaa Herran kuninkuutta, joka on Daavidin poikien käsissä, koska teitä on suuri joukko ja teillä on kultavasikat, jotka Jerobeam on teettänyt teille jumaliksi. ⁹ Ettekö te ole karkoittaneet Herran pappeja, Aaronin poikia, ja leeviläisiä, ja itse tehneet itsellenne pappeja, niinkuin muiden maiden kansat tekevät? Ken tahansa tuli papinvirkaan vihittäväksi, mukanaan mullikka ja seitsemän oinasta, hänestä tuli epäjumalan pappi. ¹⁰ Mutta meidän Jumalamme on Herra, ja häntä me emme ole hyljänneet. Ja pappeina palvelevat Herraa Aaronin pojat, ja leeviläiset toimittavat palvelustehtäviä. ¹¹ He polttavat Herralle polttouhreja joka aamu ja joka ilta ja hyvänhajuista suitsutusta, ja he latovat leivät päälletysten aitokultaiselle pöydälle ja sytyttävät joka ilta kultaisen seitsenhaaraisen lampun lamppuineen; sillä me hoidamme Herran, meidän Jumalamme, meille antamat tehtävät, mutta te olette hänet hyljänneet. ¹² Ja katso, meidän kanssamme, meidän edellämme on Jumala ja ovat hänen pappinsa, ja hälytystorvet toitottamassa teitä vastaan. Te israelilaiset, älkää sotiko Herraa, isienne Jumalaa, vastaan, sillä se ei teille onnistu." ¹³ Mutta Jerobeam oli pannut väkeä kiertämään heidän taaksensa väijyksiin, niin että toiset olivat Juudan miesten edessä ja toiset väijyksissä heidän takanansa. ¹⁴ Kun Juudan miehet kääntyivät, niin katso, heillä oli sota edessä ja takana. Silloin he huusivat Herraa, ja papit puhalsivat torviin. ¹⁵ Ja Juudan miehet nostivat sotahuudon; ja kun Juudan miehet nostivat sotahuudon, antoi Jumala Abian ja Juudan voittaa Jerobeamin ja koko Israelin. ¹⁶ Ja israelilaiset kääntyivät Juudan miehiä pakoon, ja Jumala antoi heidät näiden käsiin. ¹⁷ Ja Abia väkinensä tuotti heille suuren tappion, niin että israelilaisia kaatui viisisataa tuhatta valiomiestä. ¹⁸ Näin israelilaiset siihen aikaan nöyryytettiin; mutta Juudan miehet voimistuivat, sillä he turvautuivat Herraan, isiensä Jumalaan. ¹⁹ Ja Abia ajoi Jerobeamia takaa ja valloitti häneltä muutamia kaupunkeja: Beetelin ja sen tytärkaupungit, Jesanan ja sen tytärkaupungit ja Efronin ja sen tytärkaupungit. ²⁰ Eikä Jerobeam enää tullut voimiinsa Abian elinpäivinä, vaan Herra löi häntä, niin että hän kuoli. ²¹ Mutta Abia vahvistui. Ja hän otti itselleen neljätoista vaimoa, ja hänelle syntyi kaksikymmentä kaksi poikaa ja kuusitoista tytärtä. ²² Mitä muuta on kerrottavaa Abiasta, hänen vaelluksestaan ja hänen puheistaan, se on kirjoitettuna profeetta Iddon selityskirjassa.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abija moute wa nan peyi Jida. ² Li gouvènen pandan twazan lavil Jerizalèm. Manman l' te rele Mikaja. Se te pitit fi Ouryèl, moun lavil Gibeya. Se te yon lagè san rete ant Abija ak Jewoboram. ³ Abija leve yon lame katsanmil (400.000) vanyan sòlda ki konn goumen. Jewoboram bò pa l' kanpe pou goumen kont Abija ak witsanmil (800.000) vanyan sòlda ki konn goumen. ⁴ De lame yo kontre nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo. Wa Abija kanpe sou mòn Zemarayim, li pale byen fò, li di: -Koute m' non, Jewoboram ak nou tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo! ⁵ Eske se konnen nou pa konnen Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te pase yon kontra ak David, kontra ki pa kapab kase. Dapre kontra a, li mete gouvènman pèp Izrayèl la nan men l' ak nan men fanmi l' pou tout tan. ⁶ Men, Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, li menm ki t'ap sèvi ak Salomon, pitit David la, revòlte kont mèt li. ⁷ Apre sa, yon bann vòryen ak yon bann vakabon al mete tèt yo ansanm ak li, yo fòse Woboram, pitit gason Salomon an, yo fè l' fè sa yo vle, paske li te jenn, li te gen tèt fèb. Li pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak yo. ⁸ Koulye a, nou fè lide vin kraze otorite Seyè a te mete nan men fanmi David la, tou sa paske nou gen avèk nou yon gwo lame ak tout estati towo bèf an lò Jewoboram te fè pou sèvi nou bondye a. ⁹ Nou mete prèt Seyè yo, pitit Arawon yo, deyò ansanm ak moun Levi yo, lèfini nou fè tankou lòt nasyon yo, nou chwazi moun pa nou pou sèvi prèt. Nenpòt moun ki vin jwenn nou ak yon towo bèf osinon ak sèt mouton, nou fè l' prèt bondye nou yo ki pa bondye. ¹⁰ Men nou menm, se Seyè a ki Bondye nou. Nou pa janm vire do ba li. Prèt k'ap sèvi devan Seyè a se fanmi Arawon yo ye. Moun ki reskonsab sèvis yo se moun Levi yo ye. ¹¹ Chak maten, chak aswè, y'ap ofri bèt yo boule nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak lansan. Yo mete pen ki apa pou Bondye yo sou yon tab ki nan kondisyon pou sèvis Bondye. Chak aswè, yo limen lanp ki sou gwo lanp sèt branch lan. Nou fè tou sa Seyè a ban nou lòd fè. Men, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl, nou vire do ba li. ¹² Se Bondye menm ki alatèt nou avèk prèt li yo. Yo tou pare pou kònen twonpèt yo pou bay siyal mache pran nou. Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl yo, pa fè lagè ak Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo. Paske se nou k'ap anba. ¹³ Jewoboram fè sòlda ki te dèyè yo fè yon detou al pase dèyè lame moun peyi Jida yo. Konsa, pifò sòlda li yo te kanpe sou devan lame moun Jida yo, ak yon bon valè sòlda li yo sou dèyè yo. ¹⁴ Lè moun peyi Jida yo voye je alawonn, yo wè yo te sènen sou devan ak sou dèyè, yo rele mande Seyè a sekou. Prèt yo menm pran kònen twonpèt yo. ¹⁵ Moun Jida yo bay yon sèl rèl byen fò, epi yo atake. Bondye fè Jewoboram ak tout lame moun Izrayèl yo pèdi devan Abija ak moun Jida yo. ¹⁶ Moun Izrayèl yo pran kouri pou moun Jida yo, Bondye lage yo nan men moun Jida yo. ¹⁷ Abija ak sòlda li yo touye yon pakèt ladan yo. Yo touye senksanmil (500.000) nan pi bon sòlda lame pèp Izrayèl la. ¹⁸ Se konsa moun peyi Izrayèl yo soti wont nan batay la, men moun peyi Jida yo soti pi fò, paske se sou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, yo te apiye. ¹⁹ Abija kouri dèyè Jewoboram, li pran lavil Betèl, lavil Jesana ak lavil Efwon ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki te sou kont yo. ²⁰ Jewoboram pa janm pran pye ankò pandan tout rèy Abija. Bout pou bout, Seyè a frape l', li mouri. ²¹ Abija menm te vin pi fò toujou, li te gen katòz fanm ki te fè vennde pitit gason ak sèz pitit fi pou li. ²² Tout rès istwa Abija a, tou sa li te fè ak tou sa li te di, nou jwenn yo nan liv istwa pwofèt Ido te ekri a.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jeroboám királynak tizennyolczadik esztendejében kezde uralkodni Abija Júdában. ² Három esztendeig uralkodék Jeruzsálemben.

És Abija és Jeroboám között háború vala. ³ Azért felkészüle Abija a háborúra négyszázezer válogatott harczosból álló sereggel; és Jeroboám vele szembeszállott nyolczszázezer válogatott harczosból álló sereggel. ⁴ Akkor felálla Abija a Semáraim hegyének tetején, a mely az Efraim hegységében vala, és monda: Hallgassátok meg szómat, Jeroboám és az egész Izráel! ⁵ Avagy nem kellene-é néktek meggondolnotok, hogy az Úr, az Izráel Istene Dávidnak adta volt a királyságot Izráel felett örökre; néki és fiainak, sónak szövetsége által? ⁶ Mindazáltal felkele Jeroboám, a Nébát fia, Salamonnak, a Dávid fiának szolgája, és támada az õ ura ellen; ⁷ Azután gyûlének õ hozzá a haszontalan emberek, Beliál fiai, a kik ellene szegültek Roboámnak, a Salamon fiának, mikor Roboám gyermek és félénk szívû volt, és azok ellen magát nem oltalmazhatta. ⁸ És most azt gondoljátok, hogy ti ellene állhattok az Úr királyságának, a mely a Dávid fiainak kezében [van], mivel sokan vagytok, s veletek vannak az aranyborjúk is, a melyeket Jeroboám öntetett néktek istenek gyanánt. ⁹ Avagy nem ti ûztétek-é el az Úrnak papjait, az Áron fiait és a Lévitákat? És nem ti szerzettetek-é magatoknak papokat, mint egyéb országoknak nemzetségei, akárkit, a ki az õ szolgálatjának felszentelésére egy gyermekded tulokkal és hét kossal eljött, és lett a [bálványok] papja, a melyek nem istenek. ¹⁰ Mi mellettünk van pedig az Úr, a mi Istenünk, a kit mi el nem hagytunk; a papok pedig, a kik az Úrnak szolgálnak, az Áron fiai, és vannak Léviták, a kik [forgolódnak] az õ tisztökben. ¹¹ És áldoznak az Úrnak égõáldozattal minden reggel és minden estve, és füstölõáldozattal, [és] a kenyérnek a tiszta asztalra való tételére és az arany gyertyatartóra, szövétnekeivel egybe [gondot viselnek,] meggyújtván azokat minden estve; mert mi megtartjuk az Úrnak, a mi Istenünknek rendelését; ti pedig elhagytátok õt. ¹² Azért ímé mi velünk van az Isten vezér gyanánt, és az õ papjai a riadó kürtökkel, hogy ti ellenetek kürtöljenek. Izráel fiai! Ne harczoljatok az Úr ellen, a ti atyáitok Istene ellen, mert nem lesztek szerencsések! ¹³ Jeroboám pedig lest vetett ellenök, hogy hátuk mögé kerüljön, s ilyen módon Júda elõtt is õk legyenek, hátuk mögött is a les. ¹⁴ Látván pedig Júda, hogy ímé mind elõl, mind hátul megtámadtatának: kiáltának az Úrhoz, a papok pedig trombitálnak vala a trombitákkal. ¹⁵ És kiáltának Júda férfiai; és mikor kiáltának a Júda férfiai, az Isten megveré Jeroboámot és az egész Izráelt, Abija és Júda elõtt. ¹⁶ És az Izráel fiai menekülének Júda elõl, de az Isten kezökbe adá õket; ¹⁷ Mert megveré õket Abija és az õ népe nagy csapással, úgyannyira, hogy az Izráeliták közül seb miatt ötszázezer válogatott férfi esett el. ¹⁸ És ilyen módon aláztatának meg az Izráel fiai abban az idõben; Júda fiai pedig megerõsödének, mert õk az Úrra, az õ atyáik Istenére támaszkodtak volt. ¹⁹ És üldözé Abija Jeroboámot, és elfoglala õ tõle egynéhány várost, Béthelt és annak faluit, Jésanát és annak faluit, s Efrávint és annak faluit. ²⁰ És nem jutott többé erõhöz Jeroboám Abija idejében, hanem megveré õt az Úr, és meghala. ²¹ Abija pedig hatalmassá lõn, és vett vala magának tizennégy feleséget, a kiktõl nemze huszonkét fiút és tizenhat leányt. ²² Abijának pedig több dolgai, útai és beszédei megírattak az Iddó próféta könyvében.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahan Raja Yerobeam atas Israel, Abia menjadi raja Yehuda, ² dan memerintah tiga tahun lamanya di Yerusalem. Ibunya ialah Mikhaya anak Uriel dari kota Gibea. Kemudian pecahlah perang antara Abia dan Yerobeam. ³ Abia mengerahkan 400.000 prajurit, sedangkan Yerobeam mengerahkan 800.000 prajurit. ⁴ Kedua pasukan itu berhadap-hadapan di daerah pegunungan Efraim. Abia naik ke atas Gunung Zemaraim lalu berseru kepada Yerobeam dan orang Israel, "Dengar! ⁵ Kamu tahu bahwa TUHAN, Allah Israel, telah mengikat janji dengan Daud bahwa ia dan keturunannya akan memerintah Israel untuk selama-lamanya. Janji itu tidak dapat dibatalkan. ⁶ Meskipun begitu, Yerobeam anak Nebat itu memberontak terhadap Salomo, rajanya. ⁷ Ia mengumpulkan segerombolan orang-orang kurang ajar dan memaksakan kehendak mereka kepada Rehabeam putra Salomo, yang pada waktu itu terlalu muda dan tak berpengalaman untuk menentang. ⁸ Sekarang kamu menyangka dapat melawan kekuasaan yang diberikan TUHAN kepada keturunan Daud, karena pasukanmu besar dan kamu mempunyai sapi-sapi emas yang oleh Yerobeam dijadikan dewamu. ⁹ Bukankah imam-imam TUHAN keturunan Harun dan orang-orang Lewi telah kamu usir semuanya? Sebagai gantinya siapa saja yang ingin menjadi imam, asal dia membawa seekor sapi atau tujuh ekor domba, kamu jadikan imam untuk yang bukan Allah, sebab memang begitulah cara bangsa-bangsa lain mengangkat imam mereka. Tetapi kami tidak berbuat seperti itu. ¹⁰ Kami tetap mengabdi kepada TUHAN Allah kami dan tidak meninggalkan Dia. Imam-imam kami tetap keturunan Harun, dan orang-orang Lewi tetap membantu mereka. ¹¹ Setiap pagi dan sore mereka membakar dupa dan mempersembahkan kurban bakaran untuk TUHAN, serta menyediakan roti sajian. Setiap malam mereka menyalakan pelita-pelita pada kaki pelita emas. Kami tetap mentaati perintah-perintah TUHAN, tetapi kamu sudah meninggalkan Dia. ¹² Pemimpin kami adalah Allah sendiri dan para imam-Nya ada di sini. Mereka sudah siap untuk meniup trompet sebagai tanda bagi kami untuk menyerang kamu. Hai orang Israel, janganlah melawan TUHAN, Allah leluhurmu! Kamu takkan bisa menang!" ¹³ Sementara itu Yerobeam mengirim sebagian dari pasukannya untuk menghadang pasukan Yehuda dari belakang, sedangkan sebagian lagi menghadapi mereka dari depan. ¹⁴ Ketika pasukan Yehuda melihat bahwa mereka dikepung, mereka berteriak minta tolong kepada TUHAN. Para imam meniup trompet, ¹⁵ lalu pasukan Yehuda menyerukan pekik perang dan maju menyerang, dipimpin oleh Abia. Sementara mereka berseru, Allah mengalahkan Yerobeam dan pasukan Israel ¹⁶ sehingga mereka lari. Allah membuat orang Yehuda menang atas mereka. ¹⁷ Besarlah kekalahan yang didatangkan Abia dan pasukannya ke atas orang Israel; 500.000 prajurit mereka yang terbaik tewas. ¹⁸ Orang Yehuda menang, karena mereka mengandalkan TUHAN, Allah leluhur mereka. ¹⁹ Ketika Abia mengejar pasukan Yerobeam, ia merebut beberapa kota dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya. Kota-kota itu ialah Betel, Yesana dan Efron. ²⁰ Selama pemerintahan Abia, Yerobeam tidak dapat memulihkan kekuasaannya. Akhirnya ia dibunuh oleh TUHAN. ²¹ Sebaliknya, Abia semakin berkuasa. Ia mempunyai 14 orang istri, 22 anak laki-laki dan 16 anak perempuan. ²² Kisah lainnya mengenai Abia, dan mengenai semua perkataan dan perbuatannya telah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Nabi Ido.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ L’ANNO diciottesimo del re Geroboamo, Abia cominciò a regnare sopra Giuda. ² Egli regnò tre anni in Gerusalemme. E il nome di sua madre era Micaia, figliuola di Uriel, da Ghibea. Or vi fu guerra fra Abia e Geroboamo. ³ Ed Abia venne a battaglia con un esercito di quattrocentomila combattenti, tutti uomini scelti. E Geroboamo ordinò la battaglia contro a lui con ottocentomila combattenti, tutti uomini scelti. ⁴ Ed Abia si levò in piè disopra al monte di Semaraim, che è nelle montagne di Efraim, e disse: O Geroboamo, e tutto Israle, ascoltatemi: ⁵ Non dovete voi sapere che il Signore Iddio d’Israele ha dato a Davide il regno sopra Israele, in perpetuo? a lui, dico, ed a’ suoi figliuoli, per patto inviolabile? ⁶ Ma Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, servo di Salomone, figliuolo di Davide, si è levato, e si è ribellato contro al suo signore. ⁷ E certi uomini da nulla e scellerati, si sono adunati appresso di lui, e si sono fortificati contro a Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, il quale essendo giovane, e di cuor molle, non ha contrastato loro valorosamente. ⁸ Ed ora voi pensate di resistere ostinatamente al regno del Signore, che è fra le mani de’ figliuoli di Davide; perciocchè voi siete una gran moltitudine, ed avete con voi i vitelli d’oro che Geroboamo vi ha fatti per dii. ⁹ Non avete voi scacciati i sacerdoti del Signore, i figliuoli d’Aaronne, ed i Leviti? e non vi avete voi fatti de’ sacerdoti nella maniera de’ popoli de’ paesi? chiunque si è presentato per consacrarsi con un giovenco, e con sette montoni? e così è divenuto sacerdote di quelli che non son dii. ¹⁰ Ma quant’è a noi, il Signore è l’Iddio nostro, e noi non l’abbiamo abbandonato; ed i sacerdoti, che ministrano al Signore, sono figliuoli d’Aaronne; ed i Leviti sono impiegati a questa opera; ¹¹ ed ogni mattina, ed ogni sera ardono gli olocausti al Signore, co’ profumi degli aromati; ed ordinano i pani che si devono ordinare sopra la tavola pura; ed ogni sera accendono il candelliere d’oro con le sue lampane; perciocchè noi osserviamo ciò che il Signore ha ordinato; ma voi avete abbandonato il Signore. ¹² Ed ecco, Iddio è con noi in capo, insieme co’ suoi sacerdoti, e con le trombe di suono squillante, per sonar con esse contro a voi. Figliuoli d’Israele, non combattete contro al Signore Iddio de’ padri vostri; perciocchè voi non prosperete. ¹³ In quel mezzo Geroboamo fece volgere un agguato, perchè venisse sopra que’ di Giuda di dietro; talchè Giuda avea gl’Israeliti in fronte, e l’agguato alle spalle. ¹⁴ E que’ di Giuda si rivoltarono, e videro ch’erano assaliti da fronte e dalle spalle; laonde gridarono al Signore, e i sacerdoti sonarono con le trombe. ¹⁵ La gente di Giuda ancora gittò grida; e, come gittavano quelle grida, Iddio sconfisse Geroboamo e tutto Israele davanti ad Abia ed a Giuda. ¹⁶ Ed i figliuoli d’Israele fuggirono d’innanzi a Giuda; e Iddio li diede loro nelle mani. ¹⁷ Ed Abia ed il suo popolo li percossero d’una grande sconfitta; e caddero uccisi cinquecentomila uomini scelti d’Israele. ¹⁸ Così i figliuoli d’Israele furono in quel tempo abbassati, ed i figliuoli di Giuda si rinforzarono; perciocchè si erano appoggiati sopra il Signore Iddio de’ padri loro. ¹⁹ Ed Abia perseguitò Geroboamo, e gli prese alcune città: Betel, e le terre del suo territorio; Iesana, e le terre del suo territorio; ed Efraim, e le terre del suo territorio. ²⁰ E Geroboamo non ebbe più potere alcuno al tempo di Abia; e il Signore lo percosse, ed egli morì. ²¹ Ed Abia si fortificò, e prese quattordici mogli, e generò ventidue figliuoli, e sedici figliuole. ²² Ora, quant’è al rimanente de’ fatti di Abia, e de’ suoi portamenti, e de’ suoi fatti; queste cose sono scritte nelle memorie del profeta Iddio.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Il diciottesimo anno del regno di Geroboamo, Abija cominciò a regnare sopra Giuda. ² Regnò tre anni in Gerusalemme. Sua madre si chiamava Micaia, figliuola d’Uriel, da Ghibea. E ci fu guerra tra Abija e Geroboamo. ³ Abija entrò in guerra con un esercito di prodi guerrieri, quattrocentomila uomini scelti; e Geroboamo si dispose in ordine di battaglia contro di lui con ottocentomila uomini scelti, tutti forti e valorosi. ⁴ Ed Abija si levò e disse, dall’alto del monte Tsemaraim, ch’è nella contrada montuosa d’Efraim: "O Geroboamo, e tutto Israele, ascoltatemi! ⁵ Non dovreste voi sapere che l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, ha dato per sempre il regno sopra Israele a Davide, a Davide ed ai suoi figliuoli, con un patto inviolabile? ⁶ Eppure, Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, servo di Salomone, figliuolo di Davide, s’è levato, e s’è ribellato contro il suo signore; ⁷ e della gente da nulla, degli uomini perversi, si son raccolti attorno a lui, e si son fatti forti contro Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, allorché Roboamo era giovane, e timido di cuore, e non potea tener loro fronte. ⁸ E ora voi credete di poter tener fronte al regno dell’Eterno, ch’è nelle mani dei figliuoli di Davide; e siete una gran moltitudine, e avete con voi i vitelli d’oro che Geroboamo vi ha fatti per vostri dèi. ⁹ Non avete voi cacciati i sacerdoti dell’Eterno, i figliuoli d’Aaronne ed i Leviti? e non vi siete voi fatti de’ sacerdoti al modo de’ popoli d’altri paesi? Chiunque è venuto con un giovenco e con sette montoni per esser consacrato, e diventato sacerdote di quelli che non sono dèi. ¹⁰ Quanto a noi, l’Eterno è nostro Dio, e non l’abbiamo abbandonato; i sacerdoti al servizio dell’Eterno son figliuoli d’Aaronne, e i Leviti son quelli che celebran le funzioni. ¹¹ Ogni mattina e ogni sera essi ardono in onor dell’Eterno gli olocausti e il profumo fragrante, mettono in ordine i pani della presentazione sulla tavola pura e ogni sera accendono il candelabro d’oro con le sue lampade; poiché noi osserviamo i comandamenti dell’Eterno, del nostro Dio; ma voi l’avete abbandonato. ¹² Ed ecco, noi abbiam con noi, alla nostra testa, Iddio e i suoi sacerdoti e le trombe squillanti, per sonar la carica contro di voi. O figliuoli d’Israele, non combattete contro l’Eterno, ch’è l’Iddio de’ vostri padri, perché non vincerete!" ¹³ Intanto Geroboamo li prese per di dietro mediante un’imboscata; in modo che le truppe di Geroboamo stavano in faccia a Giuda, che avea dietro l’imboscata. ¹⁴ Que’ di Giuda si volsero indietro, ed eccoli costretti a combattere davanti e di dietro. Allora gridarono all’Eterno, e i sacerdoti dettero nelle trombe. ¹⁵ La gente di Giuda mandò un grido; e avvenne che, al grido della gente di Giuda, Iddio sconfisse Geroboamo e tutto Israele davanti ad Abija ed a Giuda. ¹⁶ I figliuoli d’Israele fuggirono d’innanzi a Giuda, e Dio li diede nelle loro mani. ¹⁷ Abija e il suo popolo ne fecero una grande strage; dalla parte d’Israele caddero morti cinquecentomila uomini scelti. ¹⁸ Così i figliuoli d’Israele, in quel tempo, furono umiliati, e i figliuoli di Giuda ripresero vigore, perché s’erano appoggiati sull’Eterno, sull’Iddio dei loro padri. ¹⁹ Abija inseguì Geroboamo, e gli prese delle città: Bethel e le città che ne dipendevano, Jeshana e le città che ne dipendevano, Efraim e le città che ne dipendevano. ²⁰ E Geroboamo, al tempo d’Abija, non ebbe più forza; e colpito dall’Eterno, egli morì. ²¹ Ma Abija divenne potente, prese quattordici mogli, e generò ventidue figliuoli e sedici figliuole. ²² Il resto delle azioni di Abija, la sua condotta e le sue parole, trovasi scritto nelle memorie del profeta Iddo.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Aštuonioliktaisiais karaliaus Jeroboamo metais Abija pradėjo karaliauti Jude. ² Trejus metus jis karaliavo Jeruzalėje. Jo motina buvo vardu Mikaja, duktė Urielio iš Gibėjos. Kilo karas tarp Abijos ir Jeroboamo. ³ Abija išėjo į kovą su keturių šimtų tūkstančių rinktinių vyrų kariuomene, o Jeroboamas išsirikiavo prieš jį su aštuoniais šimtais tūkstančių rinktinių karių. ⁴ Abija, atsistojęs ant Cemaraimo kalno Efraimo aukštumose, tarė: “Tu, Jeroboamai, ir visas Izraeli, pasiklausykite manęs! ⁵ Argi jūs nežinote, kad Viešpats, Izraelio Dievas, amžiams atidavė karališkąją Izraelio valdžią Dovydui ir jo sūnums druskos sandora? ⁶ Bet Nebato sūnus Jeroboamas, Dovydo sūnaus Saliamono tarnas, sukilo prieš savo valdovą. ⁷ Pas jį susirinko netikę žmonės, Belialo vaikai, ir įsitvirtino prieš Saliamono sūnų Roboamą, kai jis buvo jaunas, nepatyręs ir neatsilaikė prieš juos. ⁸ Dabar jūs manote galėsią atsilaikyti prieš Viešpaties karalystę, esančią Dovydo sūnų rankose, kadangi jūsų yra didelė daugybė ir su jumis yra auksiniai veršiai, kuriuos jums padirbdino Jeroboamas, kad būtų jūsų dievai. ⁹ Jūs išvarėte Viešpaties kunigus, Aarono sūnus, ir levitus bei pasidarėte kunigų kaip kitų kraštų tautos. Kas tik ateina pasišvęsti su jaučiu ir septyniais avinais, tampa kunigu tų, kurie nėra dievai. ¹⁰ Bet mūsų Dievas yra Viešpats, mes Jo nepalikome. Viešpačiui tarnauja kunigai, Aarono sūnūs, taip pat levitai atlieka savo tarnystę. ¹¹ Jie kas rytą ir kas vakarą aukoja Viešpačiui deginamąsias aukas ir smilko smilkalus, padeda padėtinę duoną ant auksinio stalo ir kas vakarą uždega lempas auksinėje žvakidėje. Mes laikomės Viešpaties, mūsų Dievo, nurodymų, bet jūs Jį palikote. ¹² Pats Dievas veda mus, yra su mumis ir Jo kunigai su trimitais, kad trimituotų prieš jus. Izraelitai, nekovokite su Viešpačiu, savo tėvų Dievu, nes neturėsite sėkmės”. ¹³ Jeroboamas pasiuntė pasalą, kad užeitų jiems iš užnugario. Jo kariai buvo priešais Judą, o pasalauž jų. ¹⁴ Judas, pamatęs, kad kova bus iš priekio ir iš užpakalio, šaukėsi Viešpaties, o kunigai trimitavo. ¹⁵ Judo vyrai sušuko, ir kai jie šaukė, Dievas sumušė Jeroboamą ir Izraelį priešais Abiją ir Judą. ¹⁶ Izraelitai bėgo nuo Judo, ir Dievas atidavė juos į šių rankas. ¹⁷ Abija ir jo žmonės smarkiai sumušė juos, ir žuvo izraelitų penki šimtai tūkstančių rinktinių vyrų. ¹⁸ Taip izraelitai pralaimėjo tą kartą, o Judo vaikai nugalėjo, nes jie pasitikėjo Viešpačiu, savo tėvų Dievu. ¹⁹ Abija persekiojo Jeroboamą ir atėmė iš jo šiuos miestus: Betelį, Ješaną ir Efroną su jų kaimais. ²⁰ Jeroboamas nebeatgavo savo galios Abijos dienomis. Viešpats ištiko jį, ir jis mirė. ²¹ Bet Abija sustiprėjo. Jis vedė keturiolika žmonų ir turėjo dvidešimt du sūnus ir šešiolika dukterų. ²² Visi kiti Abijos darbai, jo keliai ir jo kalbos surašyti pranašo Idojo knygoje.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roku ośmnastego króla Jeroboama, królował Abijasz nad Judą. ² Trzy lata królował w Jeruzalemie, a imię matki jego było Michaja, córka Uryjelowa z Gabaa. I była wojna między Abijaszem i między Jeroboamem. ³ Przetoż Abijasz uszykował wojsko ludzi bardzo walecznych cztery kroć sto tysięcy mężów przebranych; Jeroboam także uszykował się przeciwko niemu, mając ośm kroć sto tysięcy mężów przebranych bardzo walecznych. ⁴ Tedy stanął Abijasz na wierzchu góry Semeron, która była między górami Efraimskiemi, i rzekł: Słuchajcie mię, Jeroboamie i wszystek Izraelu! ⁵ Izali wam nie należy wiedzieć, że Pan, Bóg Izraelski, dał królestwo Dawidowi nad Izraelem na wieki, onemu i synom jego przymierzem trwałem? ⁶ Lecz powstał Jeroboam, syn Nabatowy, sługa Salomona, syna Dawidowego, i stał się odpornym panu swemu. ⁷ I zebrali się do niego synowie lekkomyślni, a ludzie niepobożni, i zmocnili się przeciw Roboamowi, synowi Salomonowemu; a Roboam będąc dziecięciem, i serca lękliwego, nie mógł się im mężnie oprzeć: ⁸ Zaczem wy się teraz myślicie zmocnić przeciw królestwu Pańskiemu, które jest w rękach synów Dawidowych, a jest was kupa wielka, i macie z sobą cielce złote, których wam naczynił Jeroboam za bogów. ⁹ Izażeście nie zarzucili kapłanów Pańskich, synów Aaronowych i Lewitów, a poczyniliście sobie kapłanów, jako inni narodowie ziemscy? Ktokolwiek przychodzi, aby poświęcone były ręce jego, z cielcem młodym i siedmią baranów, staje się kapłanem tych, którzy nie są bogowie. ¹⁰ Ale my jesteśmy Pana, Boga naszego, i nie opuściliśmy go; a kapłani, którzy służą Panu, są synowie Aaronowi, i Lewitowie, którzy pilnują urzędu swego. ¹¹ I ofiarują Panu całopalenia na każdy zaranek, i na każdy wieczór, i kadzą rzeczami wonnemi, i pokładają chleby na stole czystym; także świecznik złoty, i lampy jego sporządzaja, aby gorzały na każdy wieczór. A tak my strzeżemy rozkazania Pana, Boga naszego, a wyście go opuścili. ¹² Przetoż oto, z nami jest na czele Bóg i kapłani jego, i trąby głośne, aby brzmiały przeciwko wam. Synowie Izraelscy! nie walczcież z Panem, Bogiem ojców waszych; bo się wam nie powiedzie. ¹³ Międzytem obwiódł zasadzkę Jeroboam, aby na nich przypadli z tyłu; i byli jedni w oczy Judzie, a drudzy na zasadzce z tyłu ich. ¹⁴ Tedy ujrzawszy synowie Judzcy, że na nich następowała bitwa z przodku i z tyłu, wołali do Pana, a kapłani trąbili w trąby. ¹⁵ Uczynili też okrzyk mężowie Judy. I stało się w onym okrzyku mężów Judzkich, że Bóg poraził Jeroboama, i wszystkiego Izraela przed Abijaszem i Judą. ¹⁶ I uciekali synowie Izraelscy przed Judą; ale ich podał Bóg w ręce ich. ¹⁷ I porazili ich Abijasz i lud jego porażką wielką, tak iż legło pobitych z Izraela pięć kroć sto tysięcy mężów na wybór. ¹⁸ Przetoż poniżeni są synowie Izraelscy naonczas: a zmocnili się synowie Judzcy, ponieważ spolegali na Panu, Bogu ojców swych. ¹⁹ I gonił Abijasz Jeroboama, a odjął mu miasta Betel i wsi jego, i Jesana i wsi jego, i Efron i wsi jego. ²⁰ A nie mógł się więcej pokrzepić Jeroboam za dni Abijaszowych, i uderzył go Pan, że umarł. ²¹ Ale Abijasz zmocnił się, i pojął sobie żon czternaście, i spłodził dwadzieścia i dwóch synów, i szesnaście córek. ²² Ale inne sprawy Abijaszowe, i postępki jego, i słowa jego, zapisane są w księdze proroka Jaddy.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ No ano décimo oitavo do rei Jeroboão começou Abias a reinar sobre Judá. ² Três anos reinou em Jerusalém; o nome de sua mãe era Micaías, filha de Uriel de Guibeá. E houve guerra entre Abias e Jeroboão. ³ Abias dispôs-se para a peleja com um exército de varões valentes, quatrocentos mil homens escolhidos; e Jeroboão dispôs contra ele a batalha com oitocentos mil homens escolhidos, todos homens valentes. ⁴ Então Abias pôs-se em pé em cima do monte Semaraim, que está na região montanhosa de Efraim, e disse: Ouvi-me, Jeroboão e todo o Israel: ⁵ Porventura não vos convém saber que o Senhor Deus de Israel deu para sempre a David a soberania sobre Israel, a ele e a seus filhos, por um pacto de sal? ⁶ Contudo levantou-se Jeroboão, filho de Nabat, servo de Salomão, filho de David, e se rebelou contra seu senhor; ⁷ e ajuntaram-se a ele homens vadios filhos de Belial, e fortaleceram-se contra Roboão, filho de Salomão, sendo Roboão ainda moço e indeciso de coração, e não podendo resistir-lhes. ⁸ E agora julgais poder resistir ao reino do Senhor, que está na mão dos filhos de David, visto que sois uma grande multidão, e tendes convosco os bezerros de ouro que Jeroboão vos fez para deuses. ⁹ Não lançastes fora os sacerdotes do Senhor, filhos de Arão, e os levitas, e não fizestes para vós sacerdotes, como o fazem os povos das outras terras? Qualquer que vem a consagrar-se, trazendo um novilho e sete carneiros, logo se faz sacerdote daqueles que não são deuses. ¹⁰ Mas, quanto a nós, o Senhor é nosso Deus, e nunca o deixamos. Temos sacerdotes que ministram ao Senhor, os quais são filhos de Arão, e os levitas para o seu serviço. ¹¹ Queimam perante o Senhor cada manhã e cada tarde holocausto e incenso aromático; também dispõem os pães da proposição sobre a mesa de ouro puro, e o castiçal de ouro e as suas lâmpadas para se acenderem cada tarde; porque nós temos guardado os preceitos do Senhor nosso Deus; mas vós o deixastes. ¹² Eis que Deus está connosco, à nossa frente, como também os seus sacerdotes com as trombetas, para tocarem alarme contra vós. O filhos de Israel, não pelejeis contra o Senhor Deus de vossos pais; porque não sereis bem sucedidos. ¹³ Jeroboão, porém, armou uma emboscada, para dar sobre Judá pela retaguarda; de maneira que as suas tropas estavam em frente de Judá e a emboscada por detrás. ¹⁴ Então os de Judá olharam para trás, e eis que tinham de pelejar por diante e pela retaguarda; então clamaram ao Senhor, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas. ¹⁵ E os homens de Judá deram o brado de guerra; e sucedeu que, bradando eles, Deus feriu Jeroboão e todo o Israel diante de Abias e de Judá. ¹⁶ E os filhos de Israel fugiram de diante de Judá, e Deus lhos entregou nas suas mãos. ¹⁷ De maneira que Abias e o seu povo fizeram grande matança entre eles; pois que caíram mortos de Israel quinhentos mil homens escolhidos. ¹⁸ Assim foram humilhados os filhos de Israel naquele tempo, e os filhos de Judá prevaleceram, porque confiaram no Senhor Deus de seus pais. ¹⁹ E Abias foi perseguindo Jeroboão, e tomou-lhe cidades: Betel e seus arrabaldes, Jessana e seus arrabaldes, e Efron e seus arrabaldes. ²⁰ Jeroboão não recobrou mais a sua força nos dias de Abias; e o Senhor o feriu, e ele morreu. ²¹ Abias, porém, se fortaleceu, e tomou para si catorze mulheres, e teve vinte e dois filhos e dezasseis filhas. ²² O restante dos actos de Abias, os seus caminhos e as suas palavras, estão escritos no comentário do profeta Ido.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I kong Jeroboams attende år blev Abia konge over Juda. ² Han regjerte tre år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Mikaja; hun var datter av Uriel og var fra Gibea. Mellem Abia og Jeroboam var det krig. ³ Abia begynte krigen med en hær av djerve stridsmenn, fire hundre tusen utvalgte menn; men Jeroboam stilte sig i fylking mot ham med åtte hundre tusen utvalgte menn, også djerve stridsmenn. ⁴ Abia gikk op på fjellet Semara'im, som hører til Efra'im-fjellene, og trådte frem og sa: Hør på mig, Jeroboam og hele Israel! ⁵ Skulde I ikke vite at Herren, Israels Gud, har gitt David kongedømmet over Israel til evig tid, ham og hans sønner, ved en saltpakt*? / {* 4MO 18, 19.} ⁶ Men Jeroboam, Nebats sønn, Salomos, Davids sønns tjener, gjorde oprør mot sin herre. ⁷ Og det samlet sig om ham en flokk løse folk og onde mennesker, og de satte sig med vold op imot Rehabeam, Salomos sønn; og Rehabeam var ung og motløs og kunde ikke stå sig mot dem. ⁸ Og nu tenker I at I kan stå eder mot Herrens kongedømme, som Davids sønner har i hende, fordi I er en stor hop og har hos eder de gullkalver som Jeroboam lot gjøre forat de skulde være eders guder. ⁹ Har I ikke jaget bort Herrens prester, Arons sønner, og levittene og selv gjort eder prester, som folkene i hedningelandene gjør? Hver den som kommer med en ung okse og syv værer for å fylle sin hånd, han blir prest for disse guder som ikke er guder. ¹⁰ Men vår Gud er Herren; vi har ikke forlatt ham, og sønner av Aron tjener Herren som prester, og levittene utfører sitt arbeid; ¹¹ hver morgen og aften brenner de brennoffer og velluktende røkelse for Herren og legger frem skuebrød på bordet av rent gull og holder gull-lysestaken og dens lamper i stand og tender den hver aften; vi tar vare på hvad Herren vår Gud vil ha varetatt, men I har forlatt ham. ¹² Sannelig, Gud er med oss, han er vår fører, og vi har hans prester med larmtrompetene for å blåse til strid mot eder. I Israels barn, strid ikke mot Herren, eders fedres Gud! For det vil ikke lykkes for eder! ¹³ Men Jeroboam lot et bakhold dra omkring for å komme bak på dem, så de selv* var foran Judas menn, og bakholdet i ryggen på dem. / {* Jeroboam med sine andre tropper.} ¹⁴ Og da Judas menn vendte sig om, fikk de se fienden både foran sig og bak sig; da ropte de til Herren, og prestene blåste i trompetene. ¹⁵ Og Judas menn opløftet krigsrop; da skjedde det, at med det samme Judas menn opløftet krigsropet, da lot Gud Jeroboam og hele Israel bli slått av Abia og Juda. ¹⁶ Israels barn flyktet for Juda, og Gud gav dem i deres hånd. ¹⁷ Og Abia og hans folk voldte et stort mannefall iblandt dem, og det falt fem hundre tusen utvalgte menn av Israel. ¹⁸ Således blev Israels barn dengang ydmyket; men Judas barn blev sterke, fordi de satte sin lit til Herren, sine fedres Gud. ¹⁹ Abia forfulgte Jeroboam og tok fra ham byene Betel med tilhørende småbyer og Jesana med tilhørende småbyer og Efron med tilhørende småbyer. ²⁰ Jeroboam maktet ikke mere noget så lenge Abia levde, og Herren slo ham så han døde. ²¹ Men Abia blev mektig. Han tok sig fjorten hustruer og fikk to og tyve sønner og seksten døtre. ²² Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Abia, om hans ferd og hans foretagender, det er opskrevet i profeten Iddos historiebok.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ În al optsprezecelea an al domniei lui Ieroboam, peste Iuda a început să domnească Abia. ² El a domnit trei ani la Ierusalim. Mamă-sa se numea Micaia, fata lui Uriel, din Ghibea. Între Abia şi Ieroboam a fost război. ³ Abia a început lupta cu o oaste de războinici viteji, patrusute de mii de oameni aleşi; şi Ieroboam s'a înşiruit de bătaie împotriva lui cu opt sute de mii de oameni aleşi, războinici viteji. ⁴ Depe vîrful muntelui Ţemaraim, care face parte din muntele lui Efraim, Abia s'a sculat şi a zis:,,Ascultă-mă, Ieroboame, şi tot Israelul! ⁵ Nu trebuie oare să ştiţi că Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel, a dat pe vecie domnia peste Israel lui David şi fiilor lui printr'un legămînt care nu se poate călca? ⁶ Dar Iaroboam, fiul lui Nebat, slujitorul lui Solomon, fiul lui David, s'a sculat şi s'a răzvrătit împotriva stăpînului său. ⁷ Nişte oameni de nimic, oameni răi, s'au strîns la el şi s'au împotrivit lui Roboam, fiul lui Solomon. Roboam era tînăr şi fricos, şi nu putea să li se împotrivească. ⁸ Şi acum, voi credeţi că puteţi ieşi biruitori asupra împărăţiei Domnului, care este în mînile fiilor lui David; şi voi sînteţi o mare mulţime şi aveţi cu voi viţeii de aur pe cari vi i -a făcut Ieroboam ca dumnezei. ⁹ N'aţi îndepărtat voi pe preoţii Domnului, pe fiii lui Aaron şi pe Leviţi, şi nu v'aţi făcut voi preoţi, ca şi popoarele celorlalte ţări? Oricine venea cu un viţel şi şapte berbeci, ca să fie sfinţit, se făcea preot al celui ce nu este Dumnezeu. ¹⁰ Dar cît despre noi, Domnul este Dumnezeul nostru, şi noi nu L-am părăsit, preoţii din slujba Domnului sînt fii ai lui Aaron, şi Leviţii stau şi îşi împlinesc slujbele. ¹¹ Noi aducem în fiecare dimineaţă şi în fiecare seară arderi de tot Domnului, ardem tămîie mirositoare, punem pînile pentru punerea înaintea Domnului pe masa cea curată, şi aprindem în fiecare seară sfeşnicul de aur cu candelele lui; căci păzim poruncile Domnului, Dumnezeului nostru. Dar voi L-aţi părăsit. ¹² Iată că Dumnezeu şi preoţii Lui sînt cu noi, în fruntea noastră, şi avem şi trîmbiţele răsunătoare ca să sunăm din ele împotriva voastră. Copii ai lui Israel! nu faceţi război împotriva Domnului, Dumnezeului părinţilor voştri, căci nu veţi avea nicio izbîndă!`` ¹³ Ieroboam i -a luat pe din apoi, cu ajutorul unor oameni puşi la pîndă, aşa că oştile lui erau în faţa lui Iuda, iar cei ce stăteau la pîndă erau înapoia lor. ¹⁴ Cei din Iuda, întorcîndu-se, au avut de luptat înainte şi înapoi. Au strigat către Domnul, şi preoţii au sunat din trîmbiţe. ¹⁵ Oamenii lui Iuda au scos un strigăt de război şi, la strigătul de război al oamenilor lui Iuda, Domnul a lovit pe Ieroboam şi pe tot Israelul dinaintea lui Abia şi a lui Iuda. ¹⁶ Copiii lui Israel au fugit dinaintea lui Iuda, şi Dumnezeu i -a dat în mînile lui. ¹⁷ Abia şi poporul lui le-au pricinuit o mare înfrîngere, şi cinci sute de mii de oameni aleşi au căzut morţi printre cei din Israel. ¹⁸ Copiii lui Israel au fost smeriţi în vremea aceea, şi copiii lui Iuda au cîştigat biruinţa, pentrucă se sprijiniseră pe Domnul, Dumnezeul părinţilor lor. ¹⁹ Abia a urmărit pe Ieroboam şi i -a luat cetăţi: Betelul cu satele lui, Ieşana cu satele ei, şi Efronul cu satele lui. ²⁰ Ieroboam n'a mai avut putere pe vremea lui Abia, şi Domnul l -a lovit, şi a murit. ²¹ Dar Abia a ajuns puternic; a avut patrusprezece neveste, şi a născut douăzeci şi doi de fii şi şasesprezece fete. ²² Celelalte fapte ale lui Abia, ce a făcut şi ce a spus el, sînt scrise în cartea proorocului Ido.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Вісімнадцятого року царя Єровоама та зацарював Авійя над Юдою. ² Три роки царював він в Єрусалимі. А ім'я його матері Міхая, дочка Уріїла з Ґів'ї. І війна точилася між Авійєю та між Єровоамом. ³ І зачав Авійя війну з військом хоробрих вояків, чотири сотні тисяч вибраних мужів, а Єровоам приготовився до війни з ним з вісьмома сотнями тисяч вибраних мужів, хоробрих вояків. ⁴ І встав Авійя з-над гори Цемараїм, що в Єфремових горах, та й сказав: Послухайте мене, Єровоаме, та ввесь Ізраїлю! ⁵ Чи ж не вам знати, що Господь, Бог Ізраїлів, дав Давидові царство над Ізраїлем навіки, йому та синам його, соляною умовою? ⁶ Та встав Єровоам, Неватів син, раб Соломона, Давидового сина, і збунтувався на пана свого. ⁷ І зібралися до нього люди пусті, нікчемні, і стали міцніші від Рехав'ама, Соломонового сина. А Рехав'ам був юнак та м'якосердий, і не був сильним проти них. ⁸ А тепер ви говорите, щоб бути сильними проти Господнього царства в руці Давидових синів, а вас велика кількість, і з вами золоті тельці, яких Єровоам понароблював вам за богів. ⁹ Чи ж ви не повиганяли Господніх священиків, Ааронових синів, та Левитів? І понаставляли ви собі священиків, як ставлять народи цих країв, кожен, хто прийде, щоб посвятитися молодим бичком та сімома баранами, то стає священиком для того, що не є Богом. ¹⁰ А ми, Бог наш Господь, і ми не полишили Його, а наші священики, що служать Господеві, це Ааронові сини, а Левити при службі. ¹¹ І ми приносимо Господеві цілопалення кожного ранку та кожного вечора, і запашне кадило, і укладання хліба на чистому столі, і золотий свічник та лямпади його, щоб запалювати кожного вечора, бо ми стережемо службу Господа, нашого Бога, а ви полишили Його! ¹² І ось з нами на чолі Бог, і священики Його, і голосні сурми, щоб сурмити на вас. Ізраїлеві сини, не воюйте з Господом, Богом вашим, бо вам не поведеться! ¹³ А Єровоам вирядив засідку, щоб пішла позад них, і були вони перед Юдою, а засідка позад них. ¹⁴ І обернулися юдеї, аж ось у них бій спереду та ззаду! І кликали вони до Господа, а священики сурмили в сурми... ¹⁵ І закричали юдеї. І сталося, як юдеї закричали, то Бог ударив Єровоама та всього Ізраїля перед Авійєю та перед Юдою. ¹⁶ І повтікали ізраїльтяни перед Юдою, і Бог дав їх в їхню руку. ¹⁷ І вдарили в них Авійя та народ його великою поразою, і попадали трупи з Ізраїля, п'ять сотень тисяч вибраних мужів! ¹⁸ І впокорилися Ізраїлеві сини того часу, а Юдині сини зміцніли, бо опиралися на Господа, Бога їхніх батьків. ¹⁹ І гнався Авійя за Єровоамом, і здобув від нього міста: Бет-Ел та залежні його міста, і Єшану та залежні її міста, і Ефрон та залежні його міста. ²⁰ І Єровоам не затримав сили вже за днів Авійї. І вдарив його Господь, і він помер. ²¹ І зміцнився Авійя, і взяв собі чотирнадцять жінок, і породив двадцять і двоє синів та шістнадцятеро дочок. ²² А решта Авійєвих діл, і дороги його та слова його описані в історії пророка Іддо. І спочив Авійя зо своїми батьками, і поховали його в Давидовому Місті, а замість нього зацарював син його Аса. За його днів заспокоївся Край на десять літ.
