Whoever comes with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of what are not gods. 10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him. The priests who serve the LORD are the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites carry out their responsibilities. 11 Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set the rows of bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the golden lampstand and its lamps each evening. We are keeping the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him. 12 Now look, God is with us at our head, and His priests with their trumpets are ready to sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed. 13 But Jeroboam deployed an ambush to come from behind them, so Judah was in front and the ambushers were behind them. 14 When Judah turned, they saw that the battle was in front of them and behind them. They cried out to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets. 15 Then the men of Judah raised a battle cry, and as they shouted, God struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. 17 Abijah and his army inflicted a severe defeat on them, and five hundred thousand of Israel’s chosen men were killed. 18 So the Israelites were humbled at that time, and the men of Judah were victorious because they relied on the LORD, the God of their ancestors.
