亚比雅与耶罗波安争战
13 耶罗波安王执政第十八年，亚比雅登基做犹大王， 2 在耶路撒冷执政三年。他母亲叫米该亚[a]，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。亚比雅和耶罗波安之间常有争战。 3 有一次，亚比雅率领四十万精兵出战，耶罗波安率领八十万精兵列阵迎战。
4 亚比雅站在以法莲山区的西玛莲山上说：“耶罗波安和全体以色列人啊，你们听我说， 5 你们不知道以色列的上帝耶和华曾经立下永世之约[b]，要把以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙吗？ 6 尼八的儿子耶罗波安本是大卫的儿子所罗门的仆人，他却背叛他的主人， 7 召集一群无赖恶棍，与所罗门的儿子罗波安作对。那时，罗波安年轻怯懦，无力抵抗。
8 “现在你们仗着人多势众，又有耶罗波安制造的金牛犊作为你们的神明，便企图反抗大卫子孙所治理的耶和华的国度。 9 你们赶走了做耶和华祭司的亚伦之后裔和利未人，效法外族人的恶俗为自己设立祭司。任何人牵来一头公牛犊和七只公绵羊，就可以自封为假神的祭司。
10 “至于我们，耶和华是我们的上帝，我们没有背弃祂，我们有亚伦的后裔做祭司事奉耶和华，也有利未人各尽其职。 11 他们每天早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧芬芳的香，把供饼摆在洁净[c]的桌子上，每晚点上金灯台的灯。我们遵守我们上帝耶和华的吩咐，你们却背弃祂。 12 上帝与我们同在，祂率领我们。祂的祭司就要吹响向你们进攻的号角。以色列人啊，不要与你们祖先的上帝耶和华作对，因为你们绝不会得胜。”
13 耶罗波安却在犹大人后面设伏兵，企图前后夹攻他们。 14 犹大人转身，发现自己前后受敌，就呼求耶和华。祭司吹响号角， 15 犹大人便吶喊，上帝使耶罗波安和以色列人败在亚比雅和犹大人面前。 16 以色列人从犹大人面前逃跑，上帝把他们交在犹大人手中。 17 亚比雅和他的军队大败以色列人，歼灭了他们五十万精兵。 18 这样，以色列人被击败，犹大人因为倚靠他们祖先的上帝耶和华而大获全胜。
19 亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了伯特利、耶沙拿和以法拉音各城以及它们周围的村庄。 20 亚比雅在世之日，耶罗波安再也没有恢复势力。后来，耶和华攻击他，他就死了。 21 亚比雅却日渐强大，他有十四个妻妾、二十二个儿子、十六个女儿。 22 亚比雅其余的事及其言行都记在易多先知的史记上。
2 Chronicles 13
Revised Geneva Translation
13 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 And Abijah set the battle in formation with the army of valiant men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men. Jeroboam also set the battle in formation against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men who were strong and valiant.
4 And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is on Mount Ephraim, and said, “O Jeroboam and all Israel! Hear me!
5 “Ought you not to know that the LORD God of Israel has given the kingdom over Israel to David forever, to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
6 “And Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, the son of David, has risen up and has rebelled against his lord!
7 “And vain men and wicked have gathered to him and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon! For Rehoboam was a child and tender-hearted and could not resist them!
8 “Now, therefore, do you think that you are able to resist against the kingdom of the LORD, in the hands of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude? And the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you?
9 “Have you not driven away the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made yourselves priests like the people of other countries? Whoever comes to consecrate with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of those who are not gods!
10 “But we belong to the LORD our God and have not forsaken Him! And the priests, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, minister to the LORD in office!
11 “And they burn Burnt Offerings and sweet incense to the LORD every morning and every evening. And the Bread is set in order upon the pure Table, and the Candlestick of gold with its Lamps, to burn every evening! For we keep the watch of the LORD our God! But you have forsaken Him!
12 “And behold! This God is with us as a Captain! And His Priests are with the sounding trumpets, to cry an alarm against you! O, you children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers! For you shall not prosper!”
13 But while they were before Judah, Jeroboam sent an ambush around, to come up behind them. And the ambush was now behind them.
14 Then Judah looked, and behold, the battle was in front and behind them. And they cried to the LORD. And the priests blew with the trumpets.
15 And the men of Judah gave a shout. And as the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam (and also Israel) before Abijah and Judah.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah. And God delivered them into their hand.
17 And Abijah and his people killed them in a great slaughter, so that five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down wounded.
18 So, the children of Israel were subjugated at that time. And the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel and its villages, and Jeshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.
20 And Jeroboam regained no strength in the days of Abijah. But the LORD plagued him, and he died.
21 So, Abijah grew mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his manners and his sayings, are written in the story of the Prophet Iddo.
