*
And now ye think to withstand the kingdom paniym #
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 .
*
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 ben #
bullock and seven rams ,
the same may be a priest of them that are no gods .
*
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 m @

And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense :
the shewbread lechem #
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 .
*
And ,
behold ,
God himself is with us for our captain ro #
sh #,
and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you .
O children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers ;
for ye shall not prosper .

But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them :
so they were before Judah ,
and the ambushment was behind them .
*
And when Judah looked back ,
behold ,
the battle was before and behind :
and they cried unto the LORD ,
and the priests sounded (
8675 )
with the trumpets .
*
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 .
*
And the children of Israel fled before Judah :
and God delivered them into their hand .
*
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter :
so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men .
*
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 .
