Lessons on Abijah (1)â€”Walking Humbly With God

Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: Should you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons, by a covenant of salt?"
2 Chronicles 13:4-5

Lessons on Abijah (1)â€”Walking Humbly With God
The only thing we read about the three-year reign of Abijah is that he made war with Jeroboam. It appears that he was the one initiating it, and he gave a discourse at the outset. We see at the beginning of his speech that Abijah had high pretensions concerning the kingdom of Israel and presents facts in a way very advantageous to himself. He starts by saying that "the Lord God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever," which is totally right. But then he goes on to say that Jeroboam "rose up and rebelled against his lord" and that "Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not withstand them" ).
