2 Chronicles 13:8-18

8“So nowH6258 you intendH559 to assertH2388 yourselves againstH6440 the kingdomH4467 of the LordH3068 1throughH3027 the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732, 2being a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 and having with you 3the goldenH2091 calvesH5695 whichH834 JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 for you as godsH430. 94Have you not drivenH5080 outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LordH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 and the LevitesH3881, and madeH6213 for yourselves priestsH3548 like the peoplesH5971 of other landsH776? WhoeverH3605 comesH935 5to consecrateH4390H3027 himselfH3027 with a bullH6499H1121H1241 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, even he may becomeH1961 a priestH3548 of things that are 6not godsH430. 10But as for us, the LordH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not abandonedH5800 Him; and the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 are ministeringH8334 to the LordH3068 as priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881 7attend to their workH4399. 11EveryH1242 morningH1242 and eveningH6153 8they 9burnH6999 to the LordH3068 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and fragrantH5561 incenseH7004, and 10the showbreadH3899H4635 is set on the cleanH2889 tableH7979, and the goldenH2091 lampstandH4501 with its lampsH5216 is ready to lightH1197 everyH6153 eveningH6153; for we performH8104 our dutyH4931 to the LordH3068 our GodH430, but you have abandonedH5800 Him. 12Now beholdH2009, GodH430 is with us at our headH7218, and 11His priestsH3548 with the signalH8643 trumpetsH2689 to soundH7321 theH7321 warH7321 cryH7321 againstH5921 you. SonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, do not fightH3898 againstH5973 the LordH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, for you will not succeedH6743.”

13But JeroboamH3379 12had setH5437 an ambushH3993 to comeH935 from behindH310, so that Israel was in frontH6440 of JudahH3063 and the ambushH3993 was behindH4480H310 them. 14When JudahH3063 turnedH6437 aroundH6437, beholdH2009, 13they were attackedH4421 both from frontH6440 and rearH268; so 14they criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068, and the priestsH3548 blewH2690 the trumpetsH2689. 15Then the menH376 of JudahH3063 raisedH7321 aH7321 warH7321 cryH7321, and when the menH376 of JudahH3063 raisedH7321 theH7321 warH7321 cryH7321, GodH430 1516defeatedH5062 JeroboamH3379 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH29 and JudahH3063. 16When the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from JudahH3063, 17GodH430 handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to them. 17AbijahH29 and his peopleH5971 defeatedH5221 them with a greatH7227 slaughterH4347, so that fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 of IsraelH3478 fellH5307 slainH2491. 18The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were subduedH3665 at that timeH6256, and the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 18conqueredH553 19becauseH3588 they trustedH8172 in the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1.
