- In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
- Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
- 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.
- Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
- 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?
- Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
- There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
- "Now you think to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh 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.
- Haven't you driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves after the ways of the peoples of [other] lands? so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of [those who are] no gods.
- "But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and [we have] priests ministering to Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:
- and they burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense: the show bread also [set they] in order on the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God; but you have forsaken him.
- 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 shall not prosper."
- But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
- When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
- Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
- The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
- Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
- 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.
- Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns.
- Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Yahweh struck him, and he died.
- But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
- The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

- בשנת שמונה עשרה למלך ירבעם וימלך אביה על־יהודה׃
- שלוש שנים מלך בירושלם ושם אמו מיכיהו בת־אוריאל מן־גבעה ומלחמה היתה בין אביה ובין ירבעם׃
- ויאסר אביה את־המלחמה בחיל גבורי מלחמה ארבע־מאות אלף איש בחור ס וירבעם ערך עמו מלחמה בשמונה מאות אלף איש בחור גבור חיל׃ ס
- ויקם אביה מעל להר צמרים אשר בהר אפרים ויאמר שמעוני ירבעם וכל־ישראל׃
- הלא לכם לדעת כי יהוה אלהי ישראל נתן ממלכה לדויד על־ישראל לעולם לו ולבניו ברית מלח׃ ס
- ויקם ירבעם בן־נבט עבד שלמה בן־דויד וימרד על־אדניו׃
- ויקבצו עליו אנשים רקים בני בליעל ויתאמצו על־רחבעם בן־שלמה ורחבעם היה נער ורך־לבב ולא התחזק לפניהם׃
- ועתה אתם אמרים להתחזק לפני ממלכת יהוה ביד בני דויד ואתם המון רב ועםכם עגלי זהב אשר עשה לכם ירבעם לאלהים׃
- הלא הדחתם את־כהני יהוה את־בני אהרן והלוים ותעשו לכם כהנים כעמי הארצות כל־הבא למלא ידו בפר בן־בקר ואילם שבעה והיה כהן ללא אלהים׃ ס
- ואנחנו יהוה אלהינו ולא עזבנהו וכהנים משרתים ליהוה בני אהרן והלוים במלאכת׃
- ומקטרים ליהוה עלות בבקר־בבקר ובערב־בערב וקטרת־סמים ומערכת לחם על־השלחן הטהור ומנורת הזהב ונרתיה לבער בערב בערב כי־שמרים אנחנו את־משמרת יהוה אלהינו ואתם עזבתם אתו׃
- והנה עמנו בראש האלהים וכהניו וחצצרות התרועה להריע עליכם בני ישראל אל־תלחמו עם־יהוה אלהי־אבתיכם כי־לא תצליחו׃
- וירבעם הסב את־המארב לבוא מאחריהם ויהיו לפני יהודה והמארב מאחריהם׃
- ויפנו יהודה והנה להם המלחמה פנים ואחור ויצעקו ליהוה והכהנים בחצצרות׃
- ויריעו איש יהודה ויהי בהריע איש יהודה והאלהים נגף את־ירבעם וכל־ישראל לפני אביה ויהודה׃
- וינוסו בני־ישראל מפני יהודה ויתנם אלהים בידם׃
- ויכו בהם אביה ועמו מכה רבה ויפלו חללים מישראל חמש־מאות אלף איש בחור׃
- ויכנעו בני־ישראל בעת ההיא ויאמצו בני יהודה כי נשענו על־יהוה אלהי אבותיהם׃
- וירדף אביה אחרי ירבעם וילכד ממנו ערים את־בית־אל ואת־בנותיה ואת־ישנה ואת־בנותיה ואת־ ובנתיה׃
- ולא־עצר כח־ירבעם עוד בימי אביהו ויגפהו יהוה וימת׃ ף
- ויתחזק אביהו וישא־לו נשים ארבע עשרה ויולד עשרים ושנים בנים ושש עשרה בנות׃ ס
- ויתר דברי אביה ודרכיו ודבריו כתובים במדרש הנביא עדו׃

- Anno octavodecimo regis Jeroboam, regnavit Abia super Judam.
- Tribus annis regnavit in Jerusalem, nomenque matris ejus Michaia, filia Uriel de Gabaa : et erat bellum inter Abiam et Jeroboam.
- 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.
- Stetit ergo Abia super montem Semeron, qui erat in Ephraim, et ait : Audi, Jeroboam, et omnis Israël.
- Num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israël dederit regnum David super Israël in sempiternum, ipsi et filiis ejus in pactum salis ?
- et surrexit Jeroboam filius Nabat, servus Salomonis filii David : et rebellavit contra dominum suum.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Noster autem Dominus, Deus est, quem non relinquimus, sacerdotesque ministrant Domino, de filiis Aaron, et Levitæ sunt in ordine suo :
- 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.
- 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.
- Hæc illo loquente, Jeroboam retro moliebatur insidias. Cumque ex adverso hostium staret, ignorantem Judam suo ambiebat exercitu.
- Respiciensque Judas, vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum, et clamavit ad Dominum ; ac sacerdotes tubis canere cœperunt.
- Omnesque viri Juda vociferati sunt : et ecce illis clamantibus, perterruit Deus Jeroboam, et omnem Israël qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Juda.
- Fugeruntque filii Israël Judam, et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum.
- Percussit ergo eos Abia et populus ejus plaga magna : et corruerunt vulnerati ex Israël quingenta millia virorum fortium.
- Humiliatique sunt filii Israël in tempore illo, et vehementissime confortati filii Juda, eo quod sperassent in Domino Deo patrum suorum.
- Persecutus est autem Abia fugientem Jeroboam, et cepit civitates ejus, Bethel et filias ejus, et Jesana cum filiabus suis, Ephron quoque et filias ejus :
- nec valuit ultra resistere Jeroboam in diebus Abia : quem percussit Dominus, et mortuus est.
- Igitur Abia, confortato imperio suo, accepit uxores quatuordecim : procreavitque viginti duos filios, et sedecim filias.
- Reliqua autem sermonum Abia, viarumque et operum ejus, scripta sunt diligentissime in libro Addo prophetæ.

- 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.
- And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
- 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 nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
- 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:
- And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread 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.
- 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 shall not prosper.
- But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
- 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.

- 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.
- And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshnah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
- Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
- But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
- And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
