2 Chronicles 13 (WEBP)

[1] In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
[2] He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
[3] 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] Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
[5] Ought you not to know that Yahweh, 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] Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
[8] “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
[9] Haven’t you driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
[10] “But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
[11] They burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God, but you have forsaken him.
[12] Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you 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] When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
[15] Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
[16] The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
[17] Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
[18] Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on Yahweh, 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] Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died.
[21] But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of 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.

[1] εν τω οκτωκαιδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας ιεροβοαμ εβασιλευσεν αβια επι ιουδαν
[2] ετη τρια εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου μααχα θυγατηρ ουριηλ απο γαβαων και πολεμος ην ανα μεσον αβια και ανα μεσον ιεροβοαμ
[3] και παρεταξατο αβια τον πολεμον εν δυναμει πολεμισταις δυναμεως τετρακοσιαις χιλιασιν ανδρων δυνατων και ιεροβοαμ παρεταξατο προς αυτον πολεμον εν οκτακοσιαις χιλιασιν δυνατοι πολεμισται δυναμεως
[4] και ανεστη αβια απο του ορους σομορων ο εστιν εν τω ορει εφραιμ και ειπεν ακουσατε ιεροβοαμ και πας ισραηλ
[5] ουχ υμιν γνωναι οτι κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ εδωκεν βασιλειαν επι τον ισραηλ εις τον αιωνα τω δαυιδ και τοις υιοις αυτου διαθηκην αλος
[6] και ανεστη ιεροβοαμ ο του ναβατ ο παις σαλωμων του δαυιδ και απεστη απο του κυριου αυτου
[7] και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον ανδρες λοιμοι υιοι παρανομοι και αντεστη προς ροβοαμ τον του σαλωμων και ροβοαμ ην νεωτερος και δειλος τη καρδια και ουκ αντεστη κατα προσωπον αυτου
[8] και νυν λεγετε υμεις αντιστηναι κατα προσωπον βασιλειας κυριου δια χειρος υιων δαυιδ και υμεις πληθος πολυ και μεθ υμων μοσχοι χρυσοι ους εποιησεν υμιν ιεροβοαμ εις θεους
[9] η ουκ εξεβαλετε τους ιερεις κυριου τους υιους ααρων και τους λευιτας και εποιησατε εαυτοις ιερεις εκ του λαου της γης πας ο προσπορευομενος πληρωσαι τας χειρας εν μοσχω εκ βοων και κριοις επτα και εγινετο εις ιερεα τω μη οντι θεω
[10] και ημεις κυριον τον θεον ημων ουκ εγκατελιπομεν και οι ιερεις αυτου λειτουργουσιν τω κυριω οι υιοι ααρων και οι λευιται εν ταις εφημεριαις αυτων
[11] θυμιωσιν τω κυριω ολοκαυτωματα πρωι και δειλης και θυμιαμα συνθεσεως και προθεσεις αρτων επι της τραπεζης της καθαρας και η λυχνια η χρυση και οι λυχνοι της καυσεως αναψαι δειλης οτι φυλασσομεν ημεις τας φυλακας κυριου του θεου των πατερων ημων και υμεις εγκατελιπετε αυτον
[12] και ιδου μεθ ημων εν αρχη κυριος και οι ιερεις αυτου και αι σαλπιγγες της σημασιας του σημαινειν εφ υμας οι υιοι του ισραηλ πολεμησετε προς κυριον θεον των πατερων ημων οτι ουκ ευοδωθησεται υμιν
[13] και ιεροβοαμ απεστρεψεν το ενεδρον ελθειν αυτων εκ των οπισθεν και εγενετο εμπροσθεν ιουδα και το ενεδρον εκ των οπισθεν
[14] και απεστρεψεν ιουδας και ιδου αυτοις ο πολεμος εκ των εμπροσθεν και εκ των οπισθεν και εβοησαν προς κυριον και οι ιερεις εσαλπισαν ταις σαλπιγξιν
[15] και εβοησαν ανδρες ιουδα και εγενετο εν τω βοαν ανδρας ιουδα και κυριος επαταξεν τον ιεροβοαμ και τον ισραηλ εναντιον αβια και ιουδα
[16] και εφυγον οι υιοι ισραηλ απο προσωπου ιουδα και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις τας χειρας αυτων
[17] και επαταξεν εν αυτοις αβια και ο λαος αυτου πληγην μεγαλην και επεσον τραυματιαι απο ισραηλ πεντακοσιαι χιλιαδες ανδρες δυνατοι
[18] και εταπεινωθησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη και κατισχυσαν οι υιοι ιουδα οτι ηλπισαν επι κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων
[19] και κατεδιωξεν αβια οπισω ιεροβοαμ και προκατελαβετο παρ αυτου πολεις την βαιθηλ και τας κωμας αυτης και την ισανα και τας κωμας αυτης και την εφρων και τας κωμας αυτης
[20] και ουκ εσχεν ισχυν ιεροβοαμ ετι πασας τας ημερας αβια και επαταξεν αυτον κυριος και ετελευτησεν
[21] και κατισχυσεν αβια και ελαβεν εαυτω γυναικας δεκα τεσσαρας και εγεννησεν υιους εικοσι δυο και θυγατερας δεκα εξ
[22] και οι λοιποι λογοι αβια και αι πραξεις αυτου και οι λογοι αυτου γεγραμμενοι επι βιβλιω του προφητου αδδω
