Divrey Hayamim Bais 13:11-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. And they burn unto Hashem baboker baboker and baerev baerev olot and ketoret sammim; the array of lechem is also set in order upon the shulchan hatahor; and the menorah hazahav with the nerot thereof is lit erev ba'erev, for we are the Shomrim of the Mishmeret Hashem Eloheinu; but ye have forsaken Him.

12. And, hinei, HaElohim Himself is with us as Rosh, and His Kohanim have their chatzotzerot to sound the alarm against you. O Bnei Yisroel, fight ye not against Hashem Elohei Avoteichem; for ye shall not prosper.

13. But Yarov'am caused a ma'arav to come about behind them so that they were before Yehudah, and the ma'arav was behind them.

14. And when Yehudah turned, hinei, the milchamah was before and behind, and they cried unto Hashem, and the Kohanim sounded the battle trumpets.

15. Then the Ish Yehudah gave a shout, and as the Ish Yehudah shouted, it came to pass, that HaElohim routed Yarov'am and kol Yisroel before Aviyah and Yehudah.

16. And the Bnei Yisroel fled before Yehudah, and Elohim delivered them into their yad.

17. And Aviyah and his army slaughtered them with a makkah rabbah (great slaughter); so there fell down slain of Yisroel five hundred thousand ish bachur.

18. Thus the Bnei Yisroel were subdued at that time, and the Bnei Yehudah prevailed, because they relied upon Hashem Elohei Avoteihem.

19. And Aviyah pursued after Yarov'am, and took cities from him: Beit-El with the towns thereof, and Yeshanah with the villages thereof, and Ephrayim with the villages thereof.

20. Neither did Yarov'am recover ko'ach again in the days of Aviyah; and Hashem struck him, and he died.

21. But Aviyah grew strong, and married fourteen nashim, and fathered twenty and two banim, and sixteen banot.

22. And the rest of the acts of Aviyah, and his deeds, and his words, are written in the Midrash HaNavi Iddo.
