2 Chronicles 13:8-18

8“And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude and have with you bthe golden calves that Jeroboam made you for gods. 9 cHave you not driven out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes dfor ordination ▼
▼Hebrew to fill his hand
 with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what are fnot gods. 10But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to the Lord who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service. 11They offer to the Lord gevery morning and every evening burnt offerings and incense of sweet spices, set out hthe showbread on the table of pure gold, iand care for the golden lampstand that its lamps may jburn every evening. For we kkeep the charge of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken him. 12Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests lwith their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, mdo not fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers, for you cannot succeed.”

13Jeroboam had sent nan ambush around to come upon them from behind. Thus his troops ▼
▼Hebrew they
 were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 14And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was in front of and behind them. pAnd they cried to the Lord, and the priests qblew the trumpets. 15Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, rGod defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16The men of Israel fled before Judah, sand God gave them into their hand. 17Abijah and his people struck them with great force, so there fell slain of Israel 500,000 chosen men. 18Thus the men of Israel were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed, tbecause they relied on the Lord, the God of their fathers.
