2 Chronicles 13:5 in Context — 2 Chronicles 13

3 Abija engagea les hostilités avec une armée de vaillants guerriers, quatre cent mille hommes d’élite; et Jéroboam se rangea en bataille contre lui avec huit cent mille hommes d’élite, vaillants guerriers.

4 Du haut du mont Tsemaraïm, qui fait partie de la montagne d’Éphraïm, Abija se leva et dit: Écoutez-moi, Jéroboam, et tout Israël!

5 Ne devez-vous pas savoir que l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, a donné pour toujours à David la royauté sur Israël, à lui et à ses fils, par une alliance inviolable?

6 Mais Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, serviteur de Salomon, fils de David, s’est levé et s’est révolté contre son maître.

7 Des gens de rien, des hommes pervers, se sont rassemblés auprès de lui et l’ont emporté sur Roboam, fils de Salomon. Roboam était jeune et craintif, et il manqua de force devant eux.
