1  Now in the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ began Abijah²⁹ to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah.³⁰⁶³

2  He reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Michaiah⁴³²² the daughter¹³²³ of Uriel²²² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Gibeah.¹³⁹⁰ And there was¹⁹⁶¹ war⁴⁴²¹ between⁹⁹⁶ Abijah²⁹ and Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹

3  And Abijah²⁹ set^{631 853} the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array with an army²⁴²⁸ of valiant men¹³⁶⁸ of war,⁴⁴²¹ even four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men:³⁷⁶ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ also set the battle in array^{6186 4421} against⁵⁹⁷³ him with eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men,³⁷⁶ being mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

4  And Abijah²⁹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ upon^{4480 5921} mount²⁰²² Zemaraim,⁶⁷⁸⁷ which⁸³⁴ is in mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, thou Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸

5  Ought ye not³⁸⁰⁸ to know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to David¹⁷³² forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ even to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ by a covenant¹²⁸⁵ of salt?⁴⁴¹⁷

6  Yet Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David,¹⁷³² is risen up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and hath rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ his lord.¹¹³

7  And there are gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ him vain⁷³⁸⁶ men,³⁷⁶ the children¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ and have strengthened themselves⁵⁵³ against⁵⁹²¹ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ young⁵²⁸⁸ and tenderhearted,^{7390 3824} and could not³⁸⁰⁸ withstand^{2388 6440} them.

8  And now⁶²⁵⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ think⁵⁵⁹ to withstand²³⁸⁸ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the hand³⁰²⁷ of the sons¹¹²¹ of David;¹⁷³² and ye⁸⁵⁹ be a great⁷²²⁷ multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ and there are with⁵⁹⁷³ you golden²⁰⁹¹ calves,⁵⁶⁹⁵ which⁸³⁴ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ made⁶²¹³ you for gods.⁴³⁰

9  Have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ cast out^{5080 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD,^{3068 853} the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and have made⁶²¹³ you priests³⁵⁴⁸ after the manner of the nations⁵⁹⁷¹ of other lands?⁷⁷⁶ so that whosoever³⁶⁰⁵ cometh⁹³⁵ to consecrate^{4390 3027} himself with a young^{1121 1241} bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams,³⁵² the same may be¹⁹⁶¹ a priest³⁵⁴⁸ of them that are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods.⁴³⁰

10  But as for us,⁵⁸⁷ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is our God,⁴³⁰ and we have not³⁸⁰⁸ forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him; and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ which minister⁸³³⁴ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ wait upon their business:⁴³⁹⁹

11  And they burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ every morning^{1242 1242} and every evening^{6153 6153} burnt sacrifices⁵⁹³⁰ and sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense:⁷⁰⁰⁴ the shewbread^{3899 4635} also set they in order upon⁵⁹²¹ the pure²⁸⁸⁹ table;⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the candlestick⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ with the lamps⁵²¹⁶ thereof, to burn¹¹⁹⁷ every evening:^{6153 6153} for³⁵⁸⁸ we⁵⁸⁷ keep^{8104 853} the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ but ye⁸⁵⁹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him.

12  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ God⁴³⁰ himself is with⁵⁹⁷³ us for our captain,⁷²¹⁸ and his priests³⁵⁴⁸ with sounding⁸⁶⁴³ trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ to cry alarm⁷³²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ you. O children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not⁴⁰⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers;¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper.⁶⁷⁴³

13  But Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ caused^{5437 853} an ambushment³⁹⁹³ to come about⁹³⁵ behind^{4480 310} them: so they were¹⁹⁶¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the ambushment³⁹⁹³ was behind^{4480 310} them.

14  And when Judah³⁰⁶³ looked back,⁶⁴³⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the battle⁴⁴²¹ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ and behind:²⁶⁸ and they cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded²⁶⁹⁰ with the trumpets.²⁶⁸⁹

15  Then the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ gave a shout:⁷³²¹ and as the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ shouted,⁷³²¹ it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that God⁴³⁰ smote^{5062 853} Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Abijah²⁹ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

16  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ fled⁵¹²⁷ before^{4480 6440} Judah:³⁰⁶³ and God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into their hand.³⁰²⁷

17  And Abijah²⁹ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ slew⁵²²¹ them with a great⁷²²⁷ slaughter:⁴³⁴⁷ so there fell down⁵³⁰⁷ slain²⁴⁹¹ of Israel^{4480 3478} five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men.³⁷⁶

18  Thus the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were brought under³⁶⁶⁵ at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ and the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ prevailed,⁵⁵³ because³⁵⁸⁸ they relied⁸¹⁷² upon⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

19  And Abijah²⁹ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and took³⁹²⁰ cities⁵⁸⁹² from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, ⁸⁵³ Bethel¹⁰⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Jeshanah³⁴⁶⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Ephrain⁶⁰⁸⁵ with the towns¹³²³ thereof.

20  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ did Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ recover⁶¹¹³ strength³⁵⁸¹ again⁵⁷⁵⁰ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Abijah:²⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ struck⁵⁰⁶² him, and he died.⁴¹⁹¹

21  But Abijah²⁹ waxed mighty,²³⁸⁸ and married⁵³⁷⁵ fourteen^{702 6240} wives,⁸⁰² and begot³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ and sixteen^{8337 6240} daughters.¹³²³

22  And the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Abijah,²⁹ and his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and his sayings,¹⁶⁹⁷ are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the story⁴⁰⁹⁷ of the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Iddo.⁵⁷¹⁴

1 ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ιεροβοαμ ἐβασίλευσεν Αβια ἐπὶ Ιουδαν

2 ἔτη τρία ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Μααχα θυγάτηρ Ουριηλ ἀπὸ Γαβαων καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον Αβια καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιεροβοαμ

3 καὶ παρετάξατο Αβια τὸν πόλεμον ἐν δυνάμει πολεμισταῖς δυνάμεως τετρακοσίαις χιλιάσιν ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν καὶ Ιεροβοαμ παρετάξατο πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον ἐν ὀκτακοσίαις χιλιάσιν δυνατοὶ πολεμισταὶ δυνάμεως

4 καὶ ἀνέστη Αβια ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους Σομορων ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ εἶπεν ἀκούσατε Ιεροβοαμ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ

5 οὐχ ὑμῖν γνῶναι ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἔδωκεν βασιλείαν ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ διαθήκην ἁλός

6 καὶ ἀνέστη Ιεροβοαμ ὁ τοῦ Ναβατ ὁ παῖς Σαλωμων τοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ

7 καὶ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄνδρες λοιμοὶ υἱοὶ παράνομοι καὶ ἀντέστη πρὸς Ροβοαμ τὸν τοῦ Σαλωμων καὶ Ροβοαμ ἦν νεώτερος καὶ δειλὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ καὶ οὐκ ἀντέστη κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ νῦν λέγετε ὑμεῖς ἀντιστῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον βασιλείας κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς υἱῶν Δαυιδ καὶ ὑμεῖς πλῆθος πολύ καὶ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν μόσχοι χρυσοῖ οὓς ἐποίησεν ὑμῖν Ιεροβοαμ εἰς θεούς

9 ἦ οὐκ ἐξεβάλετε τοὺς ἱερεῖς κυρίου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ααρων καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας καὶ ἐποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς πᾶς ὁ προσπορευόμενος πληρῶσαι τὰς χεῖρας ἐν μόσχῳ ἐκ βοῶν καὶ κριοῖς ἑπτὰ καὶ ἐγίνετο εἰς ἱερέα τῷ μὴ ὄντι θεῷ

10 καὶ ἡμεῖς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐγκατελίπομεν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ λειτουργοῦσιν τῷ κυρίῳ οἱ υἱοὶ Ααρων καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ταῖς ἐφημερίαις αὐτῶν

11 θυμιῶσιν τῷ κυρίῳ ὁλοκαυτώματα πρωὶ καὶ δείλης καὶ θυμίαμα συνθέσεως καὶ προθέσεις ἄρτων ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης τῆς καθαρᾶς καὶ ἡ λυχνία ἡ χρυσῆ καὶ οἱ λυχνοὶ τῆς καύσεως ἀνάψαι δείλης ὅτι φυλάσσομεν ἡμεῖς τὰς φυλακὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετε αὐτόν

12 καὶ ἰδοὺ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀρχῇ κύριος καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες τῆς σημασίας τοῦ σημαίνειν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ισραηλ πολεμήσετε πρὸς κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ὅτι οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεται ὑμῖν

13 καὶ Ιεροβοαμ ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ ἔνεδρον ἐλθεῖν αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν καὶ ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθεν Ιουδα καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν

14 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ιουδας καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτοῖς ὁ πόλεμος ἐκ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς κύριον καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν

15 καὶ ἐβόησαν ἄνδρες Ιουδα καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ βοᾶν ἄνδρας Ιουδα καὶ κύριος ἐπάταξεν τὸν Ιεροβοαμ καὶ τὸν Ισραηλ ἐναντίον Αβια καὶ Ιουδα

16 καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ιουδα καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν

17 καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς Αβια καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ πληγὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι ἀπὸ Ισραηλ πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἄνδρες δυνατοί

18 καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα ὅτι ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν

19 καὶ κατεδίωξεν Αβια ὀπίσω Ιεροβοαμ καὶ προκατελάβετο παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ πόλεις τὴν Βαιθηλ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Ισανα καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Εφρων καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς

20 καὶ οὐκ ἔσχεν ἰσχὺν Ιεροβοαμ ἔτι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Αβια καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν κύριος καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν

21 καὶ κατίσχυσεν Αβια καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκας δέκα τέσσαρας καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς εἴκοσι δύο καὶ θυγατέρας δέκα ἕξ

22 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Αβια καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ τοῦ προφήτου Αδδω

23 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αβια μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ασα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ασα ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ Ιουδα ἔτη δέκα

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.
