2 Chronicles - Chapter: 13


13:1	Nowe in the eighteenth yeere of king Ieroboam, began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.
13:2	He reigned three yeres in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibea:) and there was warre between Abiiah and Ieroboam.
13:3	And Abiiah set the battel in aray with an army of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundred thousand chosen men: Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mightie men of valour.
13:4	And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, Heare mee thou Ieroboam, and all Israel:
13:5	Ought you not to know, that the Lord God of Israel gaue the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?
13:6	Yet Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, the seruant of Solomon the sonne of Dauid, is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his Lord.
13:7	And there are gathered vnto him vaine men the children of Belial, and haue strengthened themselues against Rehoboam the sonne of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young, & tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
13:8	And now ye thinke to withstand the kingdome of the Lord, in the hand of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calues, which Ieroboam made you for gods.
13:9	Haue yee not cast out the Priests of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites, and haue made you priests after the maner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoeuer commeth to consecrate himselfe with a young bullocke and seuen rammes, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
13:10	But as for vs, the Lord is our God, and wee haue not forsaken him, and the Priests which minister vnto the Lord, are the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites waite vpon their businesse.
13:11	And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning, and euery euening, burnt sacrifices and sweete incense: the shew-bread also set they in order vpon the pure table, and the Candlesticke of golde with the lampes therof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the charge of the Lord our God, but yee haue forsaken him.
13:12	And behold, God himselfe is with vs for our captaine, and his Priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarme against you: O children of Israel, fight ye not against the Lord God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper.
13:13	But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to come about behinde them: so they were before Iudah, and the ambushment was behind them.
13:14	And when Iudah looked backe, behold, the battel was before and behind; and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests sounded with the trumpets.
13:15	Then the men of Iudah gaue a shout: and as the men of Iudah shouted, it came to passe that God smote Ieroboam and all Israel, before Abiiah and Iudah.
13:16	And the children of Israel fled before Iudah: and God deliuered them into their hand.
13:17	And Abiiah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fel downe slaine of Israel, fiue hundred thousand chosen men.
13:18	Thus the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time, and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they relied vpon the Lord God of their fathers.
13:19	And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, & tooke cities from him, Beth-el with the townes thereof, and Ieshanah with the townes thereof, and Ephrain with the townes thereof.
13:20	Neither did Ieroboam recouer strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah: and the Lord strooke him, & he died.
13:21	But Abiiah waxed mighty, and married fourteene wiues, and begate twentie and two sonnes, and sixteene daughters.
13:22	And the rest of the acts of Abiiah, and his waies, and his sayings, are written in the story of the Prophet Iddo.


13:1	In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.
13:2	He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.
13:3	And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.
13:4	And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,
13:5	Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?
13:6	And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:
13:7	And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.
13:8	Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.
13:9	Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.
13:10	But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.
13:11	And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.
13:12	And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.
13:13	But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.
13:14	Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,
13:15	And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.
13:16	And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.
13:17	And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.
13:18	So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.
13:19	And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.
13:20	And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.
13:21	So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.
13:22	The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.


13:1	The .xviii. yere of kynge Ieroboam began Abia to raygne ouer Iuda,
13:2	& he raygned thre yere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Michaiahu the daughter of Uriel of Gibea. And there was warre betwene Abia & Ieroboam.
13:3	And Abia made prouisyon for the warre, hauyng valeaunt & expert men of warre, euen .iiii.C.M. chosen men. And Ieroboam set him selfe in araye to fyght agaynst hym, wt .viii.C.M. picte men which were stronge & men of armes.
13:4	And Abia stode vp vpon Zemaraim an hill which is in mount Ephraim, & sayd: heare me thou Ieroboam and all Israel.
13:5	Do not you knowe, howe that the Lorde God of Israel gaue the kyngdome, ouer them of Israel, to Dauid for euer, euen to hym and to hys sonnes with a salted couenaunt?
13:6	And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruaunt of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is rysen vp, & hath rebelled agaynst his lorde.
13:7	And ther gathered to hym lewde men the chyldren of Belial, & preuayled agaynst Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: when Rehoboam was yong & tender hearted, & coulde not stande before them.
13:8	And nowe ye saye, that ye be able to preuayle agaynst the kyngdome of the Lorde, which is in the hande of the sonnes of Dauid, & ye be a greate multitude, & haue the golden calues which Ieroboam made you for gods.
13:9	And haue ye not cast out the prestes of the Lorde the sonnes of Aaron, and the leuites, and haue made you prestes after the maner of the nacions of other landes? so that whosoeuer commeth, & consecrateth his hande with a yonge oxe & seuen rammes, the same maye be a preste of them that are no gods.
13:10	But we belonge vnto the Lord our God whom we haue not forsaken, and the prestes are the sonnes of Aaron, which ministre vnto the Lorde, and the leuites wayte vpon theyr office.
13:11	They burne vnto the Lorde euery mornynge & euenynge, burnt sacrifyces & swete incense: the shewe breed set they in ordre vpon a pure table: & prepare the candelstick of gold wt the lampes of the same to burne euer at euen. And truly we kepe the watche of the Lorde oure God: but ye haue forsaken him.
13:12	And behold, God hym selfe is our captayne, & hys prestes blowe wt the trompettes, & crye alarum agaynst you. O ye chyldren of Israel, fyght not agaynst the Lord God of your fathers: for it wyll not prospere with you.
13:13	But for all that, Ieroboam conuayed men preuely about, to come behynde them: & so they were before Iuda, & the layers in wayte were behynde them.
13:14	And when they of Iuda loked about, behold the battayll was before & behynde, & they cryed vnto the Lord & the prestes blewe wt the trompetes,
13:15	& the men of Iuda gaue a showte. And as the men of Iuda showted, it came to passe, that God smote Ieroboam and all Israel before Abia and Iuda.
13:16	And the children of Israel fled before Iuda, and God delyuered them into theyr hande.
13:17	And Abia & hys people slue a great slaughter of them: there fell downe wounded of Israel .v.C.M. chosen men.
13:18	And so the chyldren of Israel were brought vnder, at that tyme, and the chyldren of Iuda preuayled: because they leaned vnto the Lorde God of theyr fathers.
13:19	And Abia folowed after Ieroboam, and toke cities from hym, Bethel wt the townes belongyng therto, Iesana with the townes that longed therto, and Ephron with her townes.
13:20	And Ieroboam recouered no strength agayne in the daies of Abia. And the Lorde plaged him, & he dyed.
