1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. 2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 Abijah launched the attack with 400,000 well-trained warriors, while Jeroboam deployed against him 800,000 well-trained warriors. 4 Abijah ascended Mount Zemaraim, in the Ephraimite hill country, and said: |Listen to me, Jeroboam and all Israel! 5 Don't you realize that the LORD God of Israel has given David and his dynasty lasting dominion over Israel by a formal agreement? 2 Chronicles 13:1-5, New English Translation.
