亞比雅作猶大王(A)
13 耶羅波安王第十八年，亞比雅登基作猶大王。 2 他在耶路撒冷作王三年；他母親名叫米該亞（“米該亞”是“瑪迦”的另一種寫法；參王上15:2），是基比亞人烏列的女兒。亞比雅和耶羅波安常有爭戰。
南北之戰
3 有一次，亞比雅帶著精兵四十萬，都是英勇的戰士，準備開戰；耶羅波安也帶著八十萬精兵，都是英勇的戰士，列陣對抗亞比雅。
4 亞比雅起來站在以法蓮山地中的洗瑪臉山上，說：“耶羅波安和以色列眾民哪，你們要聽我的話。 5 耶和華以色列的 神曾經立了鹽約，要把以色列國永遠賜給大衛和他的子孫，你們不知道嗎？ 6 可是大衛的兒子所羅門的僕人，尼八的兒子耶羅波安，卻起來背叛了他的主。 7 有些無賴匪徒結集跟從他，欺負所羅門的兒子羅波安；那時羅波安還年幼，心裡驚怯，所以不能抵擋他們。 8 現在你們有意要反抗大衛子孫手下的耶和華的國；你們人數眾多，你們那裡也有金牛犢，就是耶羅波安為你們所做，當作神的。 9 你們不是驅逐了耶和華的祭司，亞倫的子孫和利未人嗎？你們不是像世上萬民為自己立祭司嗎？無論甚麼人牽來一頭公牛犢和七隻公綿羊，自己授聖職，就可以作那本不是神的祭司。 10 至於我們，耶和華是我們的 神，我們並沒有離棄他；我們有事奉耶和華的祭司，都是亞倫的子孫，並且有利未人負責工作。 11 他們每日早晚向耶和華獻燔祭，焚燒芬芳的香；在清潔的桌子上擺上陳設餅；每天晚上燃點金燈臺的燈盞；我們謹守耶和華我們的 神的吩咐，你們卻離棄了他。
12 “看哪， 神和我們同在，率領我們；他的祭司拿著號筒向你們大聲吹響。以色列人哪，你們不可和耶和華你們列祖的 神作戰，因為你們必不能得勝。”
猶大人戰勝以色列人
13 耶羅波安卻派伏兵繞到猶大人的背後。這樣，猶大人前面有以色列人，他們背後也有伏兵。 14 猶大人轉身，看見自己前後受敵，就呼求耶和華，祭司也都吹號。 15 於是猶大人大聲吶喊；猶大人大聲吶喊的時候， 神就在亞比雅和猶大人面前，使耶羅波安和以色列眾人大敗而逃。 16 以色列人在猶大人面前逃跑； 神把他們交在猶大人手裡。 17 亞比雅和他的人民大大地擊殺以色列人；以色列人中倒斃的精兵共有五十萬。 18 那時，以色列人被擊敗了，猶大人獲得勝利，因為他們倚靠耶和華他們列祖的 神。 19 亞比雅追趕耶羅波安，奪取了他的幾座城，就是伯特利和屬於伯特利的鄉鎮，耶沙拿和屬於耶沙拿的鄉鎮，以法拉音和屬於以法拉音的鄉鎮。 20 亞比雅在世的日子，耶羅波安不再強盛。耶和華擊打他，他就死了。
21 亞比雅卻不斷強盛起來，娶了十四個妻妾，生了二十二個兒子，十六個女兒。 22 亞比雅其餘的事蹟和他的言行，都記在易多先知的傳記上。

Abijah rules Judah
13 Abijah[a] became king over Judah in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam. 2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah; she was Uriel’s daughter from Gibeah. When war broke out between Abijah and Jeroboam, 3 Abijah went to fight with an army of four hundred thousand select troops against Jeroboam’s select forces numbering eight hundred thousand, who were arrayed in battle formation.
4 Abijah stood on the heights of Mount Zemaraim in Ephraim’s highlands and said:
“Listen to me, Jeroboam and all Israel! 5 Surely you know that the Lord, Israel’s God, made an unbreakable covenant[b] with David and his descendants that they would rule Israel forever. 6 It was Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, the servant of Solomon, David’s son, who rebelled against his master. 7 When some useless, worthless people joined his cause, they overpowered Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, who was too young and timid to resist them. 8 And now do you intend to challenge the Lord’s royal rule, entrusted to David’s descendants? You may have a numerical advantage, as well as the gold calves Jeroboam made for you as gods. 9 But you’ve banished the Lord’s priests, Aaron’s sons, along with the Levites, so that you could appoint your own priests as other countries do. Now anyone who shows up with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of these phony gods!
10 “But us? The Lord is our God, and we haven’t abandoned him. Aaron’s descendants serve as the Lord’s priests, assisted in the work by the Levites. 11 Every morning and every evening they offer entirely burned offerings and fragrant incense to the Lord, and set out bread in stacks upon a clean table. At night they light the lamps on the gold lampstand. Yes, while you are abandoning the Lord our God, we are doing what he requires. 12 Listen! God is on our side, at our head, along with his priests, who are ready to sound the battle trumpets against you. So, Israelites, don’t fight against the Lord, the God of your ancestors, for you won’t succeed!”
13 Meanwhile, Jeroboam had sent troops around behind them for an ambush so that the main force was in front of Judah while the ambush was behind. 14 When Judah looked around and suddenly realized that they were surrounded, they cried out to the Lord while the priests sounded the trumpets 15 and raised the battle cry. When they raised the battle cry, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God gave Judah the victory. 17 Abijah and his people struck them severely: five hundred thousand select warriors were killed. 18 Israel was subdued on that occasion, and Judah succeeded because they relied on the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took these cities away from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron,[c] along with their villages. 20 Jeroboam failed to regain power during the time of Abijah. The Lord finally struck him down, and he died. 21 Abijah, however, grew strong. He married fourteen wives; he had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 The rest of Abijah’s deeds, what he did and what he said, are written in the account of the prophet Iddo.

Abijah Reigns over Judah
13 In the eighteenth year of King Jerobo′am Abi′jah began to reign over Judah. 2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micai′ah the daughter of U′riel of Gib′eah.
Now there was war between Abi′jah and Jerobo′am. 3 Abi′jah went out to battle having an army of valiant men of war, four hundred thousand picked men; and Jerobo′am drew up his line of battle against him with eight hundred thousand picked mighty warriors. 4 Then Abi′jah stood up on Mount Zemara′im which is in the hill country of E′phraim, and said, “Hear me, O Jerobo′am and all Israel! 5 Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingship over Israel for ever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt? 6 Yet Jerobo′am the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord; 7 and certain worthless scoundrels gathered about him and defied Rehobo′am the son of Solomon, when Rehobo′am was young and irresolute and could not withstand them.
8 “And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude and have with you the golden calves which Jerobo′am made you for gods. 9 Have you not driven out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what are no gods. 10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to the Lord who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service. 11 They offer to the Lord every morning and every evening burnt offerings and incense of sweet spices, set out the showbread on the table of pure gold, and care for the golden lampstand that its lamps may burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken him. 12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers; for you cannot succeed.”
13 Jerobo′am had sent an ambush around to come on them from behind; thus his troops[a] were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 14 And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the Lord, and the priests blew the trumpets. 15 Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, God defeated Jerobo′am and all Israel before Abi′jah and Judah. 16 The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand. 17 Abi′jah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand picked men. 18 Thus the men of Israel were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord, the God of their fathers. 19 And Abi′jah pursued Jerobo′am, and took cities from him, Bethel with its villages and Jesha′nah with its villages and Ephron[b] with its villages. 20 Jerobo′am did not recover his power in the days of Abi′jah; and the Lord smote him, and he died. 21 But Abi′jah grew mighty. And he took fourteen wives, and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 The rest of the acts of Abi′jah, his ways and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

Reina Valera Revisada
Reinado de Abías
13 A los dieciocho años del rey Jeroboam, reinó Abías sobre Judá,
2 y reinó tres años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Micaía hija de Uriel de Guibeá. Y hubo guerra entre Abías y Jeroboam.
3 Entonces Abías ordenó batalla con un ejército de cuatrocientos mil hombres de guerra, valerosos y escogidos; y Jeroboam ordenó batalla contra él con ochocientos mil hombres escogidos, fuertes y valerosos.
El discurso de Abías
4 Y se levantó Abías sobre el monte de Zemaráyim, que está en los montes de Efraín, y dijo: Oídme, Jeroboam y todo Israel.
5 ¿No sabéis vosotros que Jehová Dios de Israel dio el reino a David sobre Israel para siempre, a él y a sus hijos, bajo pacto de sal?
6 Pero Jeroboam hijo de Nebat, siervo de Salomón hijo de David, se levantó y rebeló contra su señor.
7 Y se juntaron con él hombres vanos y perversos, y pudieron más que Roboam hijo de Salomón, porque Roboam era joven y pusilánime, y no se defendió de ellos.
8 Y ahora vosotros tratáis de resistir al reino de Jehová en mano de los hijos de David, porque sois muchos, y tenéis con vosotros los becerros de oro que Jeroboam os hizo por dioses.
9 ¿No habéis arrojado vosotros a los sacerdotes de Jehová, a los hijos de Aarón y a los levitas, y os habéis designado sacerdotes a la manera de los pueblos de otras tierras, para que cualquiera venga a consagrarse con un becerro y siete carneros, y así sea sacerdote de los que no son dioses?
10 Mas en cuanto a nosotros, Jehová es nuestro Dios, y no le hemos dejado; y los sacerdotes que ministran delante de Jehová son los hijos de Aarón, y los que están en la obra son levitas,
11 los cuales queman para Jehová los holocaustos cada mañana y cada tarde, y el incienso aromático; y ponen los panes sobre la mesa limpia, y el candelero de oro con sus lámparas para que ardan cada tarde; porque nosotros guardamos la ordenanza de Jehová nuestro Dios, mas vosotros le habéis dejado.
12 Y he aquí Dios está con nosotros por jefe, y sus sacerdotes con las trompetas del júbilo para que suenen contra vosotros. Oh hijos de Israel, no peléis contra Jehová el Dios de vuestros padres, porque no prosperaréis.
La batalla
13 Pero Jeroboam hizo tender una emboscada para venir a ellos por la espalda; y estando así delante de ellos, la emboscada estaba a espaldas de Judá.
14 Y cuando miró Judá, he aquí que tenía batalla por delante y a las espaldas; por lo que clamaron a Jehová, y los sacerdotes tocaron las trompetas.
15 Entonces los de Judá gritaron con fuerza; y así que ellos alzaron el grito, Dios desbarató a Jeroboam y a todo Israel delante de Abías y de Judá;
16 y huyeron los hijos de Israel delante de Judá, y Dios los entregó en sus manos.
17 Y Abías y su gente hicieron en ellos una gran matanza, y cayeron heridos de Israel quinientos mil hombres escogidos.
18 Así fueron humillados los hijos de Israel en aquel tiempo, y los hijos de Judá prevalecieron, porque se apoyaban en Jehová el Dios de sus padres.
19 Y siguió Abías a Jeroboam, y le tomó algunas ciudades, a Betel con sus aldeas, a Jesaná con sus aldeas, y a Efraín con sus aldeas.
20 Y nunca más tuvo Jeroboam poder en los días de Abías; y Jehová lo hirió, y murió.
21 Pero Abías se hizo más poderoso. Tomó catorce mujeres, y engendró veintidós hijos y dieciséis hijas.
22 Los demás hechos de Abías, sus caminos y sus dichos, están escritos en la historia de Iddó profeta.
