RF CH2 13:1 (958 B.C.) Abijah begins to Reign.
In the eighteenth year of King Jerabam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
RF CH2 13:2 He was King for three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Makah, the daughter of Aurial of Gibaah. When war began between Abijah and Jerabam,
RF CH2 13:3 Abijah arranged the battle with a force of disciplined soldiers of four hundred thousand men, and Jerabam arrayed against him for battle with a force of eight hundred thousand men, trained troops.
RF CH2 13:4 And Abijah occupied the top of the Zimarim hills, which are in Mount Ephraim, and proclaimed:—"Listen Jerabam, and the army of Israel;—
RF CH2 13:5 Is it not known to you that the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel gave the Kingship over Israel to David for ever?—To him, and to his sons, by a Covenant of Salt?
RF CH2 13:6 But Jerabam,-ben-Nebat, an Officer of Solomon,-ben-David rebelled against his Master,
RF CH2 13:7 and idle fellows, men of Belial, collected to him, and encouraged him against Rehaboam,-ben-Solomon, when Rehaboam was young and lighthearted, and could not resist them.
RF CH2 13:8 So now you think to resist the Kingship of the LORD, in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great mob, and the Golden Calves that Jerabam made for your GODs are with you!
RF CH2 13:9 "Have you not expelled the Priests of the EVER-LIVING, the Beni Aaron, and the Levites, and made yourselves Priests like the peoples of the countries, so that every one who goes to fill his hands with a bullock and seven rams, can become a Priest to the Not-GODs?
RF CH2 13:10 "But for us,—the EVER-LIVING is our GOD, and we will not forsake him! And our Priests, who serve the EVER-LIVING, are descendants of Aaron, and the Levites are assistants,
RF CH2 13:11 who consume to the EVER-LIVING, morning by morning, Burnt-offerings; and evening by evening; and present perfumes, and arrange bread on the pure table, with the Golden Lamps, and their Reflectors, to burn from dusk to dusk. For we regard the Trusts of the EVER-LIVING, our GOD,—but you have abandoned them.
RF CH2 13:12 So look out for GOD is at our head, and His Priests with trumpets to sound an alarm against you.—Sons of Israel, fight not against the EVER-LIVING, the GOD of your fathers, for you will not prosper!"
RF CH2 13:13 But Jerabam directed an ambush to go to their rear.—Thus he was at the front of Judah, and the ambuscade at their rear,
RF CH2 13:14 and when Judah turned, they saw there was a battle for them before and behind; so they cried to the EVER-LIVING, and the Priests sounded with the trumpets;
RF CH2 13:15 and the men of Judah cheered; and when the men of Judah cheered, GOD defeated Jerabam, and the Israelite forces before Abijah and Judah.
RF CH2 13:16 Thus the Children of Israel were routed before Judah, and GOD gave them into their hand;
RF CH2 13:17 and Abijah and his army defeated them, with a crushing defeat, and five hundred thousand brave men of Israel fell wounded.
RF CH2 13:18 The Children of Israel were consequently weakened from that time, and the Children of Judah encouraged, because they relied on the EVER-LIVING GOD of their fathers.
RF CH2 13:19 (957 B.C.) Abijah Defeats Jerabam.
Abijah then followed after Jerabam, and captured from him the Cities of Bethel, and its villages; and Jeshanah, and its villages and Afren, and its villages,
RF CH2 13:20 and Jerabam never recovered his strength in the times of Abijah; for the EVER-LIVING struck and defeated him,
RF CH2 13:21 but Abijah was strengthened, and married fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
RF CH2 13:22 The remainder of the deeds of Abijah, and his proceedings, and his affairs, are recorded in the Commentaries of the Reciter Ado.
