2 Chronicles 13:5-16

13:5

Ought ye not to know
<03045> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

gave
<05414> (8804)

the kingdom
<04467>

over Israel
<03478>

to David
<01732>

for ever
<05769>_,

[even] to him and to his sons
<01121>

by a covenant
<01285>

of salt
<04417>_?

13:6

Yet Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

the servant
<05650>

of Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>_,

is risen up
<06965> (8799)_,

and hath rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against his lord
<0113>_.

13:7

And there are gathered
<06908> (8735)

unto him vain
<07386>

men
<0582>_,

the children
<01121>

of Belial
<01100>_,

and have strengthened
<0553> (8691)

themselves against Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

when Rehoboam
<07346>

was young
<05288>

and tenderhearted
<07390> <03824>_,

and could not withstand
<02388> (8694)

them
<06440>_.

13:8

And now ye think
<0559> (8802)

to withstand
<02388> (8692)

the kingdom
<06440> <04467>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the hand
<03027>

of the sons
<01121>

of David
<01732>_;

and ye [be] a great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>_,

and [there are] with you golden
<02091>

calves
<05695>_,

which Jeroboam
<03379>

made
<06213> (8804)

you for gods
<0430>_.

13:9

Have ye not cast out
<05080> (8689)

the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and have made
<06213> (8799)

you priests
<03548>

after the manner of the nations
<05971>

of [other] lands
<0776>_?

so that whosoever cometh
<0935> (8802)

to consecrate
<04390> (8763) <03027>

himself with a young
<01121> <01241>

bullock
<06499>

and seven
<07651>

rams
<0352>_,

[the same] may be a priest
<03548>

of [them that are] no
<03808>

gods
<0430>_.

{to consecrate...: Heb. to fill his hand}

13:10

But as for us, the LORD
<03068>

[is] our God
<0430>_,

and we have not forsaken
<05800> (8804)

him; and the priests
<03548>_,

which minister
<08334> (8764)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

[are] the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_,

and the Levites
<03881>

[wait] upon [their] business
<04399>_:

13:11

And they burn
<06999> (8688)

unto the LORD
<03068>

every morning
<01242>

and every evening
<06153>

burnt sacrifices
<05930>

and sweet
<05561>

incense
<07004>_:

the shewbread
<03899> <04635>

also [set they in order] upon the pure
<02889>

table
<07979>_;

and the candlestick
<04501>

of gold
<02091>

with the lamps
<05216>

thereof, to burn
<01197> (8763)

every evening
<06153>_:

for we keep
<08104> (8802)

the charge
<04931>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_;

but ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

him.

13:12

And, behold, God
<0430>

himself [is] with us for [our] captain
<07218>_,

and his priests
<03548>

with sounding
<08643>

trumpets
<02689>

to cry alarm
<07321> (8687)

against you. O children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

fight
<03898> (8735)

ye not against the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_;

for ye shall not prosper
<06743> (8686)_.

13:13

But Jeroboam
<03379>

caused an ambushment
<03993>

to come
<0935> (8800)

about
<05437> (8689)

behind
<0310>

them: so they were before
<06440>

Judah
<03063>_,

and the ambushment
<03993>

[was] behind
<0310>

them.

13:14

And when Judah
<03063>

looked back
<06437> (8799)_,

behold, the battle
<04421>

[was] before
<06440>

and behind
<0268>_:

and they cried
<06817> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and the priests
<03548>

sounded
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)

with the trumpets
<02689>_.

13:15

Then the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

gave a shout
<07321> (8686)_:

and as the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

shouted
<07321> (8687)_,

it came to pass, that God
<0430>

smote
<05062> (8804)

Jeroboam
<03379>

and all Israel
<03478>

before
<06440>

Abijah
<029>

and Judah
<03063>_.

13:16

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

Judah
<03063>_:

and God
<0430>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into their hand
<03027>_.
