In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

אֲבִיָּ֖ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

אֲבִיָּ֖ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valour.

אֲבִיָּ֜ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said: 'Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel;
