亞比雅與耶羅波安爭戰
13 耶羅波安王執政第十八年，亞比雅登基做猶大王， 2 在耶路撒冷執政三年。他母親叫米該亞[a]，是基比亞人烏列的女兒。亞比雅和耶羅波安之間常有爭戰。 3 有一次，亞比雅率領四十萬精兵出戰，耶羅波安率領八十萬精兵列陣迎戰。
4 亞比雅站在以法蓮山區的西瑪蓮山上說：「耶羅波安和全體以色列人啊，你們聽我說， 5 你們不知道以色列的上帝耶和華曾經立下永世之約[b]，要把以色列國永遠賜給大衛和他的子孫嗎？ 6 尼八的兒子耶羅波安本是大衛的兒子所羅門的僕人，他卻背叛他的主人， 7 召集一群無賴惡棍，與所羅門的兒子羅波安作對。那時，羅波安年輕怯懦，無力抵抗。
8 「現在你們仗著人多勢眾，又有耶羅波安製造的金牛犢作為你們的神明，便企圖反抗大衛子孫所治理的耶和華的國度。 9 你們趕走了做耶和華祭司的亞倫之後裔和利未人，效法外族人的惡俗為自己設立祭司。任何人牽來一頭公牛犢和七隻公綿羊，就可以自封為假神的祭司。
10 「至於我們，耶和華是我們的上帝，我們沒有背棄祂，我們有亞倫的後裔做祭司事奉耶和華，也有利未人各盡其職。 11 他們每天早晚向耶和華獻燔祭，燒芬芳的金燈臺香，把供餅擺在潔淨[c]的桌子上，每晚點上的燈。我們遵守我們上帝耶和華的吩咐，你們卻背棄祂。 12 上帝與我們同在，祂率領我們。祂的祭司就要吹響向你們進攻的號角。以色列人啊，不要與你們祖先的上帝耶和華作對，因為你們絕不會得勝。」
13 耶羅波安卻在猶大人後面設伏兵，企圖前後夾攻他們。 14 猶大人轉身，發現自己前後受敵，就呼求耶和華。祭司吹響號角， 15 猶大人便吶喊，上帝使耶羅波安和以色列人敗在亞比雅和猶大人面前。 16 以色列人從猶大人面前逃跑，上帝把他們交在猶大人手中。 17 亞比雅和他的軍隊大敗以色列人，殲滅了他們五十萬精兵。 18 這樣，以色列人被擊敗，猶大人因為倚靠他們祖先的上帝耶和華而大獲全勝。
19 亞比雅追趕耶羅波安，攻取了伯特利、耶沙拿和以法拉音各城以及它們周圍的村莊。 20 亞比雅在世之日，耶羅波安再也沒有恢復勢力。後來，耶和華攻擊他，他就死了。 21 亞比雅卻日漸強大，他有十四個妻妾、二十二個兒子、十六個女兒。 22 亞比雅其餘的事及其言行都記在易多先知的史記上。
2 Chronicles 13
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
13 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.
2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
3 And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.
4 And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:
5 Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.
7 And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.
8 And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
9 And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.
10 But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.
11 And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.
12 Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.
13 While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.
14 And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.
15 And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.
17 And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.
18 And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.
19 And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.
20 And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21 But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
