In context

2 three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and, the name of his mother, was Maacah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah,—and there was, war, between Abijah and Jeroboam.

3 And Abijah began the war with a force of heroes of war, four hundred thousand chosen men,—and, Jeroboam, set in array against him to battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, heroes of valour.

4 And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim,—and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!

5 Is it not yours to know, that, Yahweh God of Israel gave the kingdom to David, over Israel, unto times age-abiding,—to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?

6 Yet hath Jeroboam son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, risen up,—and rebelled against his lord.

7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of the Abandoned One, who emboldened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon,-when, Rehoboam, was young and tender of heart, and had not strengthened himself to meet them.

8 Now, therefore, ye, are thinking to strengthen yourselves against the kingdom of Yahweh, in the hand of the sons of David,—and, ye, are a great multitude, and, with you, are calves of gold, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
