2 Chronicles 13

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.	1 ܒܫܢܬ ܬܡܢܥܣܪܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܐܒܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ
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.	2 ܘܬܠܬ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܫܡܐ ܕܐܡܗ ܡܥܟܐ ܒܪܬ ܐܘܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ
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.	3 ܘܐܣܪ ܐܒܝܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥ̇ܒܕ̈ܝ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܪܒܥܡܐܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥܠܝ̈ܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܥܡ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ ܘܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ ܟܢܫ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܩܪܒܐ ܒܬܡܢܡܐܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥܠܝܡ̈ܐ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;	4 ܘܩܡ ܐܒܝܐ ܥܠ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܡܪܝܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܥ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ ܘܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
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?	5 ܟܒܪ ܝܕ̇ܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܝܗܒ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܗ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.	6 ܘܩܡ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ ܥܒ̣ܕܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܡܪܕ ܥܠ ܡܪܗ
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.	7 ܘܟܢܫ ܠܘܬܗ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܘܐܬܥܫܢ ܥܠ ܪܚܒܥܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܪܚܒܥܡ ܛܠܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܛܠܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܘܠܐ ܒܝܐܗ ܠܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܫܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܐܒܘܗܝ
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.	8 ܘܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܙܠܬܘܢ ܐܦܪܩܬܘܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܙܠܬܘܢ ܘܦܠܚܬܘܢ ܠܐܠܗ̈ܐ ܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܫܒܛܐ ܚܕ ܩܐ̇ܡ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܘܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܥܓ̈ܠܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ
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.	9 ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦܪܩܬܘܢ ܠܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܒܢܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܘܠܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܘܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܥܐ̇ܠ ܠܡܩܪܒܘ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܫܩ̇ܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܬܘܪܐ ܒܪ ܒܩܪܐ ܘܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܠܕܠܐ ܐܠܗ̈ܝܢ
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:	10 ܘܚܢܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܠܐ ܫܒܩܢ ܘܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܕܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܢܘ̈ܗܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܘܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܒܥܒܝܕ̈ܬܗܘܢ
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.	11 ܘܡܣܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܒ̈ܚܐ ܒܟܠ ܨܦܪ ܘܨܦܪ ܘܒܟܠ ܪܡܫ ܘܪܡܫ ܘܩܛܪ̈ܘܩܐ ܕܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܘܣܕܪ̈ܐ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܟ̈ܝܐ ܘܡܢܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܫܪ̈ܓܝܗܝܢ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܫܪܓܬܢܐ ܡܢܗܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܪܡܫ ܘܪܡܫ ܘܚܢܢ ܢܛ̇ܪܝܢ ܢܛܘܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܩܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܐܙܠܬܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܐܠܗ̈ܐ ܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܘܦܠܚܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܣܓܕܬܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ
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.	12 ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܟܫܪܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
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.
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.	15 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܪܝܡܘ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܬܒܪ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܢܒܛ ܘܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܩܕܡ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܩܕܡ ܐܒܝܐ
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.	16 ܘܥܪܩܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܝܗܘܕܐ
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.	17 ܘܚܪܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܒܝܐ ܚܪܒܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥܠܝ̈ܡܐ
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.	18 ܘܐܬܬܒܪܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܘܐܬܓܒܪܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܣܘܡܟܢܢ ܥܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܬܢ
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshnah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.	19 ܘܪܕܦ ܐܒܝܐ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܟܒܫ ܡܢܗ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܘܡܐܟ̈ܠܬܗ̇ ܫܠܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܟܠܬܗ̇ ܘܥܦܪܘܢ ܘܡܐ̈ܟܠܬܗ̇
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.	20 ܘܙܥܪ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܬܘܒ ܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܗ ܕܐܒܝܐ ܘܡܚܝܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܡܝܬ
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.	21 ܘܐܬܓܒܪ ܐܒܝܐ ܘܢܣܒ ܠܗ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܣܪܐ ܘܐܬܝܠܕܘ ܠܗ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܫܬܐ ܘܒܢ̈ܬܐ ܢܩܒ̈ܬܐ ܫܬܬܥܣܪܐ
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.	22 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܦܬܓ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܝܐ ܘܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܒܡܕܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܥܕܘ ܢܒܝܐ
