2 Chronicles 13:8-18
8And nowH6258 ye think to shew yourselves strongH2388 against the kingdomH4467 of Jehovah in the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732; and ye are a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and ye have with you the golden calvesH5695 that JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 you for 1godsH430.
9Have ye not cast out the priestsH3548 of Jehovah, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and madeH6213 you priestsH3548 as the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776? whoever comesH935 to consecrate himself with a youngH1121 bullock and sevenH7651 ramsH352, he becomesH1961 a priestH3548 of what is not 2GodH430.
10But as for us, Jehovah is our 3GodH430, and we have not forsaken him; and the priestsH3548 that serveH8334 Jehovah are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 are at their workH4399:
11and they burn to Jehovah every morningH1242 and every eveningH6153 burnt-offerings and sweet incenseH7004; the loaves also are set in order upon the pureH2889 tableH7979; and the candlestick of goldH2091 with its lampsH5216 to burn every eveningH6153: for we keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of Jehovah our 4GodH430; but ye have forsaken him.
12And behold, we have 5GodH430 with us at our headH7218, and his priestsH3548, and the loud-sounding trumpetsH2689 to soundH7321 an alarmH8643 against you. ChildrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, do not fightH3898 with Jehovah the 6GodH430 of your fathersH1; for ye shall not prosperH6743.
13But JeroboamH3379 caused an ambushH3993 to comeH935 about behind them; and they wereH1961 before JudahH3063, and the ambushH3993 behind them.
14And JudahH3063 looked backH268, and behold, they had the battleH4421 in front and behind; and they criedH6817 to Jehovah, and the priestsH3548 sounded with the trumpetsH2689.
15And the menH376 of JudahH3063 gaveH7321 a shoutH7321; and as the menH376 of JudahH3063 shoutedH7321, it came to pass that 7GodH430 smote JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 before AbijahH29 and JudahH3063.
16And the children of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 before JudahH3063; and 8GodH430 delivered them into their handH3027.
17And AbijahH29 and his peopleH5971 slew them with a greatH7227 slaughterH4347; and there fellH5307 downH5221 slain of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosen menH376.
18And the children of IsraelH3478 were humbledH3665 at that timeH6256, and the children of JudahH3063 were strengthenedH553, because they relied upon Jehovah the 9GodH430 of their fathersH1.
