 [1 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/13/1) Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/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.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/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.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/13/4) ¶ And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which *is* in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/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?
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/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.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/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.
