14:013:004 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount
           Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;

14:013:005 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?

14:013:006 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son
           of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

14:013:007 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.

14:013:008 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 your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for
           gods.

14:013:009 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.

14:013:010 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: 

14:013:011 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.

14:013:012 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.

14:013:013 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: 
           so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.

14:013:014 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.

14:013:015 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.

14:013:016 And the children of Israel fled before Judah:  and God
           delivered them into their hand.
