2 Chronicles 13 · Grade 5

Outnumbered but Not Alone

Name Date

Read and Think

Abijah reigned only three years, but the Chronicler records one great moment. Facing an army twice his size, he stood on a mountain and preached. The kingdom belonged to David's line by a covenant of salt, a covenant meant to last. Jeroboam's rebellion was not just against Judah, but against Yahweh's kingdom.

Abijah contrasted two ways of worship. Israel had golden calves and priests anyone could become by bringing an offering. Judah kept the priests of Aaron, the morning and evening offerings, the show bread, and the lamps. Then he warned the children of Israel not to fight against Yahweh, for they would not prosper.

When the ambush closed around them, Judah cried to Yahweh, and God delivered them. The key line explains why: they relied on Yahweh, the God of their fathers. Jeroboam never recovered strength, while Abijah grew mighty. In the New Testament, Paul asks, if God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31).
