| 13:1 | Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. |
| 13:2 | He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. |
| 13:3 | And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. |
| 13:4 | And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; |
| 13:5 | Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? |
| 13:6 | Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. |
| 13:7 | And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. |
| 13:8 | And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. |
| 13:9 | Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. |
| 13:10 | But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: |
| 13:11 | And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him. |
| 13:11 | 每日早晚向耶和華獻燔祭、燒美香、又在精金的桌子上擺陳設餅．又有金燈臺和燈盞、每晚點起、因為我們遵守耶和華我們 神的命．惟有你們離棄了他。 |
| 13:11 | 每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼。又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华我们神的命。惟有你们离弃了他。 |
| 2ch:2:4 | Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. |
| lev:24:5 | And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. |
| lev:24:6 | And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. |
| lev:24:7 | And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD. |
| lev:24:8 | Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. |
| lev:24:9 | And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute. |
| exo:25:31 | And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. |
| exo:25:32 | And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: |
| exo:25:33 | Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. |
| exo:25:34 | And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. |
| exo:25:35 | And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. |
| exo:25:36 | Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. |
| exo:25:37 | And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. |
| exo:25:38 | And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. |
| exo:25:39 | Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. |
| exo:27:20 | And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. |
| exo:27:21 | In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel. |
| lev:24:2 | Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. |
| lev:24:3 | Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. |
| lev:24:4 | He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. |

| 13:12 | And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. |
| 13:13 | But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. |
| 13:14 | And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. |
| 13:15 | Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. |
| 13:16 | And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. |
| 13:17 | And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. |
| 13:18 | Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. |
| 13:19 | And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. |
| 13:20 | Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. |
| 13:21 | But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. |
| 13:22 | And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo. |
