2 Chronicles 13
Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible
ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ιεροβοαμ ἐβασίλευσεν Αβια ἐπὶ Ιουδαν
In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah (note: Abijah is a variant of Abijam; see 1 Kings 14:31.) became king of Judah,
ἔτη τρία ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Μααχα θυγάτηρ Ουριηλ ἀπὸ Γαβαων καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον Αβια καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιεροβοαμ
and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah (note: Hebrew; most LXX manuscripts and Syriac Maacah; see 2 Chronicles 11:20 and 1 Kings 15:2.) daughter (note: Or granddaughter) of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
καὶ παρετάξατο Αβια τὸν πόλεμον ἐν δυνάμει πολεμισταῖς δυνάμεως τετρακοσίαις χιλιάσιν ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν καὶ Ιεροβοαμ παρετάξατο πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον ἐν ὀκτακοσίαις χιλιάσιν δυνατοὶ πολεμισταὶ δυνάμεως
Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
καὶ ἀνέστη Αβια ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους Σομορων ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ εἶπεν ἀκούσατε Ιεροβοαμ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ
Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
οὐχ ὑμῖν γνῶναι ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἔδωκεν βασιλείαν ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ διαθήκην ἁλός
Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt (note: That is, a perpetual covenant)?
καὶ ἀνέστη Ιεροβοαμ ὁ τοῦ Ναβατ ὁ παῖς Σαλωμων τοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ
Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
καὶ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄνδρες λοιμοὶ υἱοὶ παράνομοι καὶ ἀντέστη πρὸς Ροβοαμ τὸν τοῦ Σαλωμων καὶ Ροβοαμ ἦν νεώτερος καὶ δειλὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ καὶ οὐκ ἀντέστη κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ
Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
καὶ νῦν λέγετε ὑμεῖς ἀντιστῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον βασιλείας κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς υἱῶν Δαυιδ καὶ ὑμεῖς πλῆθος πολύ καὶ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν μόσχοι χρυσοῖ οὓς ἐποίησεν ὑμῖν Ιεροβοαμ εἰς θεούς
And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
ἦ οὐκ ἐξεβάλετε τοὺς ἱερεῖς κυρίου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ααρων καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας καὶ ἐποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς πᾶς ὁ προσπορευόμενος πληρῶσαι τὰς χεῖρας ἐν μόσχῳ ἐκ βοῶν καὶ κριοῖς ἑπτὰ καὶ ἐγίνετο εἰς ἱερέα τῷ μὴ ὄντι θεῷ
But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
καὶ ἡμεῖς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐγκατελίπομεν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ λειτουργοῦσιν τῷ κυρίῳ οἱ υἱοὶ Ααρων καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ταῖς ἐφημερίαις αὐτῶν
But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
θυμιῶσιν τῷ κυρίῳ ὁλοκαυτώματα πρωὶ καὶ δείλης καὶ θυμίαμα συνθέσεως καὶ προθέσεις ἄρτων ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης τῆς καθαρᾶς καὶ ἡ λυχνία ἡ χρυσῆ καὶ οἱ λυχνοὶ τῆς καύσεως ἀνάψαι δείλης ὅτι φυλάσσομεν ἡμεῖς τὰς φυλακὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετε αὐτόν
Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him.
καὶ ἰδοὺ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀρχῇ κύριος καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες τῆς σημασίας τοῦ σημαίνειν ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ισραηλ πολεμήσετε πρὸς κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ὅτι οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεται ὑμῖν
Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”
καὶ Ιεροβοαμ ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ ἔνεδρον ἐλθεῖν αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν καὶ ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθεν Ιουδα καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν
Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ιουδας καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτοῖς ὁ πόλεμος ἐκ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς κύριον καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν
When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
καὶ ἐβόησαν ἄνδρες Ιουδα καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ βοᾶν ἄνδρας Ιουδα καὶ κύριος ἐπάταξεν τὸν Ιεροβοαμ καὶ τὸν Ισραηλ ἐναντίον Αβια καὶ Ιουδα
and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ιουδα καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν
So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς Αβια καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ πληγὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι ἀπὸ Ισραηλ πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἄνδρες δυνατοί
Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα ὅτι ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν
Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
καὶ κατεδίωξεν Αβια ὀπίσω Ιεροβοαμ καὶ προκατελάβετο παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ πόλεις τὴν Βαιθηλ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Ισανα καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Εφρων καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς
Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
καὶ οὐκ ἔσχεν ἰσχὺν Ιεροβοαμ ἔτι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Αβια καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν κύριος καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν
Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.
καὶ κατίσχυσεν Αβια καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκας δέκα τέσσαρας καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς εἴκοσι δύο καὶ θυγατέρας δέκα ἕξ
But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Αβια καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ τοῦ προφήτου Αδδω
Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise (note: Or Exposition or Study) of the Prophet Iddo.
καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αβια μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ασα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ασα ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ Ιουδα ἔτη δέκα
