2 Chronicles 13:4-7

4Abijah went to stand on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill country of Ephraim. He shouted, ‘Listen to me, Jeroboam and all you Israelites!

5The Lord, Israel's God, has chosen David and his descendants to be kings of Israel for all time. You know that God has promised that must happen.

6Nebat's son Jeroboam was a servant of David's son, King Solomon. But he turned against his master.

7He took some wicked useless men to join his group. They made themselves strong against Solomon's son, Rehoboam. Rehoboam was young and he had not been king for very long. So he was not strong enough to stop them.
