 13:5 Ought you not x3808 to know, 3045 z8800 that x3588 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 gaue 5414 z8804 the kingdome 4467 ouer x5921 Israel 3478 to Dauid 1732 for euer, 5769 [euen] to him and to his sonnes 1121 by a couenant 1285 of salt? 4417

 13:7 And there are gathered 6908 z8735 vnto x5921 him vaine 7386 men y582 x376 the children 1121 of Belial, 1100 and haue strengthened y553 z8691 themselues x553 against x5921 Rehoboam 7346 the sonne 1121 of Solomon, 8010 when Rehoboam 7346 was x1961 young, 5288 & tender hearted, 7390 3824 and could not x3808 withstand 2388 z8694 x6440 them. y6440

 13:8 And now x6258 ye x859 thinke 559 z8802 to withstand 2388 z8692 the kingdome 4467 y6440 of the LORD, 3068 in the hand 3027 of the sonnes 1121 of Dauid, 1732 and ye x859 [be] a great 7227 multitude, 1995 and [there are] with x5973 you golden 2091 calues, 5695 which x834 Ieroboam 3379 made 6213 z8804 you for gods. 430

 13:9 Haue yee not x3808 cast out 5080 z8689 x853 the Priests 3548 of the LORD 3068 x853 the sonnes 1121 of Aaron, 175 and the Leuites, 3881 and haue made 6213 z8799 you priests 3548 after the maner of the nations 5971 of [other] lands? 776 so that whosoeuer x3605 commeth 935 z8802 to consecrate 4390 3027 z8763 himselfe with a young 1121 1241 bullocke 6499 and seuen 7651 rammes, 352 the same may be x1961 a priest 3548 of [them] that are no 3808 gods. 430

 13:10 But as for vs, x587 the LORD 3068 [is] our God, 430 and wee haue not x3808 forsaken 5800 z8804 him, and the Priests 3548 [which] minister 8334 z8764 vnto the LORD, 3068 [are] the sonnes 1121 of Aaron, 175 and the Leuites 3881 [waite] vpon [their] businesse. 4399

 13:11 And they burne 6999 z8688 vnto the LORD 3068 euery morning, 1242 and euery euening, 6153 burnt sacrifices 5930 and sweete 5561 incense: 7004 the [shew] -bread 3899 4635 also [set they] in order vpon x5921 the pure 2889 table, 7979 and the Candlesticke 4501 of golde 2091 with the lampes 5216 therof, to burne 1197 z8763 euery euening: 6153 for x3588 we x587 keepe 8104 z8802 x853 the charge 4931 of the LORD 3068 our God, 430 but yee x859 haue forsaken 5800 z8804 him.

 13:12 And behold, x2009 God 430 [himselfe is] with x5973 vs for [our] captaine, 7218 and his Priests 3548 with sounding 8643 trumpets 2689 to cry alarme 7321 z8687 against x5921 you: O children 1121 of Israel, 3478 fight 3898 z8735 ye not x408 against x5973 the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers, 1 for x3588 you shall not x3808 prosper. 6743 z8686

 13:13 ¶ But Ieroboam 3379 caused x5437 x853 an ambushment 3993 to come y935 z8800 about y5437 z8689 x935 behinde 310 x4480 them: so they were x1961 before 6440 Iudah, 3063 and the ambushment 3993 [was] behind 310 x4480 them.

 13:14 And when Iudah 3063 looked backe, 6437 z8799 behold, x2009 the battel 4421 [was] before 6440 and behind; 268 and they cried 6817 z8799 vnto the LORD, 3068 and the Priests 3548 sounded 2690 z8688 z8675 z8764 with the trumpets. 2689

 13:15 Then the men 376 of Iudah 3063 gaue a shout: 7321 z8686 and as the men 376 of Iudah 3063 shouted, 7321 z8687 it came to passe x1961 that God 430 smote 5062 z8804 x853 Ieroboam 3379 and all x3605 Israel, 3478 before 6440 Abiiah 29 and Iudah. 3063

 13:16 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 fled 5127 z8799 before 6440 x4480 Iudah: 3063 and God 430 deliuered 5414 z8799 them into their hand. 3027

 13:17 And Abiiah 29 and his people 5971 slew 5221 z8686 them with a great 7227 slaughter: 4347 so there fel downe 5307 z8799 slaine 2491 of Israel, 3478 x4480 fiue 2568 hundred 3967 thousand 505 chosen 977 z8803 men. 376

 13:18 Thus the children 1121 of Israel 3478 were brought y3665 z8735 vnder x3665 at that x1931 time, 6256 and the children 1121 of Iudah 3063 preuailed, 553 z8799 because x3588 they relied 8172 z8738 vpon x5921 the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers. 1

 13:19 And Abiiah 29 pursued 7291 z8799 after 310 Ieroboam, 3379 & tooke 3920 z8799 cities 5892 from x4480 him, x853 Beth-el 1008 with x854 the townes 1323 thereof, and Ieshanah 3466 with x854 the townes 1323 thereof, and Ephrain 6085 with the townes 1323 thereof.

 13:20 Neither x3808 did Ieroboam 3379 recouer 6113 z8804 strength 3581 againe x5750 in the dayes 3117 of Abiiah: 29 and the LORD 3068 strooke 5062 z8799 him, & he died. 4191 z8799

 13:21 ¶ But Abiiah 29 waxed mighty, 2388 z8691 and married 5375 z8799 fourteene 702 6240 wiues, 802 and begate 3205 z8686 twentie 6242 and two 8147 sonnes, 1121 and sixteene 8337 6240 daughters. 1323

 13:22 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Abiiah, 29 and his waies, 1870 and his sayings, 1697 [are] written 3789 z8803 in the story 4097 of the Prophet 5030 Iddo. 5714
