“As for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests who serve the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites assist them. Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. We are observing the requirements of the LORD our God. But you have forsaken him. God is with us; he is our leader. His priest with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”
2 Chroncles 13:10-12
Announcement by Abijah, King of Judah, from Mount Zemaraim to King Jeroboam of Israel and his army, as he both warns and appeals to them. The army of Judah numbered 400,000 fighting men, while the army of Israel had 800,000. Guess who won.
