And Hezekiah
<03169>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to all Israel
<03478>

<03063>_,

and wrote
<03789> (8804)

that they should come
<0935> (8800)

to the house

of the LORD
<03068>

the passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel

11:1

And when Rehoboam
<07346>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

he gathered
<06950> (8686)

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

an hundred
<03967>

and fourscore
<08084>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

[men], which were warriors
<06213> (8802) <04421>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Israel
<03478>_,

that he might bring
<07725> (0)

the kingdom
<04467>

again
<07725> (8687)

to Rehoboam
<07346>_.

11:2

But the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Shemaiah
<08098>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

11:3

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and to all Israel
<03478>

in Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

11:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,

nor fight
<03898> (8735)

against your brethren
<0251>_:

return
<07725> (8798)

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_:

for this thing
<01697>

is done
<01961> (8738)

of me. And they obeyed
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

from going
<03212> (8800)

against Jeroboam
<03379>_.

11:5

And Rehoboam
<07346>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

cities
<05892>

for defence
<04692>

in Judah
<03063>_.

11:6

He built
<01129> (8799)

even Bethlehem
<01035>_,

and Etam
<05862>_,

and Tekoa
<08620>_,

11:7

And Bethzur
<01049>_,

and Shoco
<07755>_,

and Adullam
<05725>_,

11:8

And Gath
<01661>_,

and Mareshah
<04762>_,

and Ziph
<02128>_,

11:9

And Adoraim
<0115>_,

and Lachish
<03923>_,

and Azekah
<05825>_,

11:10

And Zorah
<06881>_,

and Aijalon
<0357>_,

and Hebron
<02275>_,

which [are] in Judah
<03063>

and in Benjamin
<01144>

fenced
<04694>

cities
<05892>_.

11:11

And he fortified
<02388> (8762)

the strong holds
<04694>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

captains
<05057>

in them, and store
<0214>

of victual
<03978>_,

and of oil
<08081>

and wine
<03196>_.

11:12

And in every several city
<05892>

[he put] shields
<06793>

and spears
<07420>_,

and made them exceeding
<07235> (8687) <03966>

strong
<02388> (8762)_,

having Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

on his side.

11:13

And the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

that [were] in all Israel
<03478>

resorted
<03320> (8694)

to him out of all their coasts
<01366>_.

{resorted...: Heb. presented themselves to him}

11:14

For the Levites
<03881>

left
<05800> (8804)

their suburbs
<04054>

and their possession
<0272>_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for Jeroboam
<03379>

and his sons
<01121>

had cast them off
<02186> (8689)

from executing the priest's office
<03547> (8763)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

11:15

And he ordained
<05975> (8686)

him priests
<03548>

for the high places
<01116>_,

and for the devils
<08163>_,

and for the calves
<05695>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_.

11:16

And after
<0310>

them out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

such as set
<05414> (8802)

their hearts
<03824>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

11:17

So they strengthened
<02388> (8762)

the kingdom
<04438>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and made Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>

strong
<0553> (8762)_,

three
<07969>

years
<08141>_:

for three
<07969>

years
<08141>

they walked
<01980> (8804)

in the way
<01870>

of David
<01732>

and Solomon
<08010>_.

11:18

And Rehoboam
<07346>

took
<03947> (8799)

him Mahalath
<04258>

the daughter
<01323> (8675) <01121>

of Jerimoth
<03406>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

to wife
<0802>_,

[and] Abihail
<032>

the daughter
<01323>

of Eliab
<0446>

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_;

11:19

Which bare
<03205> (8799)

him children
<01121>_;

Jeush
<03266>_,

and Shamariah
<08114>_,

and Zaham
<02093>_.

11:20

And after
<0310>

her he took
<03947> (8804)

Maachah
<04601>

the daughter
<01323>

of Absalom
<053>_;

which bare
<03205> (8799)

him Abijah
<029>_,

and Attai
<06262>_,

and Ziza
<02124>_,

and Shelomith
<08019>_.

{Maachah: she is also called Michaiah the daughter of Uriel}

11:21

And Rehoboam
<07346>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Maachah
<04601>

the daughter
<01323>

of Absalom
<053>

above all his wives
<0802>

and his concubines
<06370>_:

(for he took
<05375> (8804)

eighteen
<08083> <06240>

wives
<0802>_,

and threescore
<08346>

concubines
<06370>_;

and begat
<03205> (8686)

twenty
<06242>

and eight
<08083>

sons
<01121>_,

and threescore
<08346>

daughters
<01323>.)

11:22

And Rehoboam
<07346>

made
<05975> (8686)

Abijah
<029>

the son
<01121>

of Maachah
<04601>

the chief
<07218>_,

[to be] ruler
<05057>

among his brethren
<0251>_:

for [he thought] to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.

11:23

And he dealt wisely
<0995> (8799)_,

and dispersed
<06555> (8799)

of all his children
<01121>

throughout all the countries
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

unto every fenced
<04694>

city
<05892>_:

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

them victual
<04202>

in abundance
<07230>_.

And he desired
<07592> (8799)

many
<01995>

wives
<0802>_.

{many wives: Heb. a multitude of wives}

2 Chronicles 13:1-22

13:1

Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Jeroboam
<03379>

began Abijah
<029>

to reign
<04427> (8799)

over Judah
<03063>_.

13:2

He reigned
<04427> (8804)

three
<07969>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

His mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

also [was] Michaiah
<04322>

the daughter
<01323>

of Uriel
<0222>

of Gibeah
<01390>_.

And there was war
<04421>

between Abijah
<029>

and Jeroboam
<03379>_.

13:3

And Abijah
<029>

set
<0631> (0)

the battle
<04421>

in array
<0631> (8799)

with an army
<02428>

of valiant men
<01368>

of war
<04421>_,

[even] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>_:

Jeroboam
<03379>

also set the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8804)

against him with eight
<08083>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>_,

[being] mighty men
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_.

{Abijah set: Heb. Abijah bound together}

13:4

And Abijah
<029>

stood up
<06965> (8799)

upon mount
<02022>

Zemaraim
<06787>_,

which [is] in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

me, thou Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and all Israel
<03478>_;

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>_.

13:17

And Abijah
<029>

and his people
<05971>

slew
<05221> (8686)

them with a great
<07227>

slaughter
<04347>_:

so there fell down
<05307> (8799)

slain
<02491>

of Israel
<03478>

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>_.

13:18

Thus the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were brought
<03665> (8735)

under at that time
<06256>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

prevailed
<0553> (8799)_,

because they relied
<08172> (8738)

upon the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

13:19

And Abijah
<029>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

cities
<05892>

from him, Bethel
<01008>

with the towns
<01323>

thereof, and Jeshanah
<03466>

with the towns
<01323>

thereof, and Ephrain
<06085>

with the towns
<01323>

thereof.

13:20

Neither did Jeroboam
<03379>

recover
<06113> (8804)

strength
<03581>

again in the days
<03117>

of Abijah
<029>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

struck
<05062> (8799)

him, and he died
<04191> (8799)_.

13:21

But Abijah
<029>

waxed mighty
<02388> (8691)_,

and married
<05375> (8799)

fourteen
<0702> <06240>

wives
<0802>_,

and begat
<03205> (8686)

twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

and sixteen
<08337> <06240>

daughters
<01323>_.

13:22

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Abijah
<029>_,

and his ways
<01870>_,

and his sayings
<01697>_,

[are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the story
<04097>

of the prophet
<05030>

Iddo
<05714>_.
