1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijahbecame king of Judah, 2 and he reigned in Jerusalemthree years. His mother’s name was Maakah,13:2 Most Septuagint manuscripts and Syriac (see also 11:20 and 1 Kings 15:2); Hebrew Micaiaha daughter13:2 Or granddaughterof Uriel of Gibeah.
There was war between Abijahand Jeroboam. 3 Abijahwent into battle with an army of four hundred thousand able fighting men, and Jeroboamdrew up a battle line against him with eight hundred thousand able troops.
4 Abijahstood on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Jeroboamand all Israel, listen to me! 5 Don’t you know that the Lord, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to Davidand his descendants forever by a covenant of salt? 6 Yet Jeroboamson of Nebat, an official of Solomonson of David, rebelled against his master. 7 Some worthless scoundrels gathered around him and opposed Rehoboamson of Solomonwhen he was young and indecisive and not strong enough to resist them.
8 "And now you plan to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboammade to be your gods. 9 But didn’t you drive out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make priests of your own as the peoples of other lands do? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may become a priest of what are not gods.
10 "As for us, the Lordis our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests who serve the Lordare sons of Aaron, and the Levites assist them. 11 Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the Lord. They set out the bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. We are observing the requirements of the Lordour God. But you have forsaken him. 12 God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the Lord, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed."
13 Now Jeroboamhad sent troops around to the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah the ambush was behind them. 14 Judah turned and saw that they were being attacked at both front and rear. Then they cried out to the Lord. The priests blew their trumpets 15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. At the sound of their battle cry, God routed Jeroboamand all Israel before Abijahand Judah. 16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. 17 Abijahand his troops inflicted heavy losses on them, so that there were five hundred thousand casualties among Israel’s able men. 18 The Israelites were subdued on that occasion, and the people of Judahwere victorious because they relied on the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
19 Abijahpursued Jeroboamand took from him the towns of Bethel, Jeshanahand Ephron, with their surrounding villages. 20 Jeroboamdid not regain power during the time of Abijah. And the Lordstruck him down and he died.
21 But Abijahgrew in strength. He married fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 The other events of Abijah’s reign, what he did and what he said, are written in the annotations of the prophet Iddo.
