“ And now you plan to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods.

“ Now you plan to stand up against the kingdom of the Lord. His kingdom is in the hands of men in David’s family line. It’s true that you have a huge army. You have the statues of the golden calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods.

“ And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made you for gods.

“ Do you really think you can stand against the kingdom of the Lord that is led by the descendants of David? You may have a vast army, and you have those gold calves that Jeroboam made as your gods.

“ And now you are saying you can assert yourselves against the LORD’s kingdom, which is in the hand of one of David’s sons. You are a vast number and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.

“ So now you intend to assert yourselves against the kingdom of the Lord through the sons of David, being a great multitude and having with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods.

And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and with you are the gold calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods.

And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.

耶羅波安王就籌劃，鑄造了兩個金牛犢，對眾百姓說：「你們上耶路撒冷去實在夠久了。以色列啊，看哪，這是領你出埃及地的神明。」

耶羅波安為丘壇，為山羊鬼魔，為自己所造的牛犢設立祭司。

古實人謝拉率領一百萬軍兵，三百輛戰車，出來攻擊猶大人，到了瑪利沙。亞撒出去迎戰，在瑪利沙的洗法谷彼此擺陣。亞撒呼求耶和華－他的神說：「耶和華啊，在強弱之間，惟有你能幫助。耶和華－我們的神啊，求你幫助我們，因為我們仰賴你，奉你的名來抵擋這大軍。耶和華啊，你是我們的神，不要讓人勝過你。」

耶和華－你的神是應當稱頌的！他喜愛你，使你坐他的王位，為耶和華－你的神作王；因為你的神愛以色列，要永遠堅立它，所以立你作他們的王，使你秉公行義。」

列國為甚麼爭鬧？萬民為甚麼圖謀虛妄？世上的君王都站穩，臣宰一同算計，要對抗耶和華，對抗他的受膏者：「我們要掙脫他們的捆綁，脫去他們的繩索。」那坐在天上的必譏笑，主必嗤笑他們。那時，他要在怒中責備他們，在烈怒中驚嚇他們：「我已經在錫安－我的聖山膏立了我的君王。」

他本國的百姓卻恨他，打發使者隨後去，說：『我們不願意這個人作我們的王。』

我們的神啊，你不懲罰他們嗎？因為我們無力抵擋這來攻擊我們的大軍。我們不知道該怎麼做，我們的眼目單仰望你。」

至於我那些仇敵，不要我作他們王的，把他們拉來，在我面前殺了！』」

君王不能因兵多得勝，勇士不能因力大得救。

我們要上去攻擊猶大，擾亂它，攻破它來歸我們，在其中立他比勒的兒子為王。主耶和華如此說：這事必站立不住，也不得成就。

因有一嬰孩為我們而生；有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上；他名稱為「奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君」。他的政權與平安必加增無窮。他必在大衛的寶座上治理他的國，以公平公義使國堅定穩固，從今直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。

說：「耶和華－我們列祖的神啊，你不是天上的神嗎？你不是萬邦萬國的主宰嗎？在你手中有大能大力，無人能抵擋你。

你反倒行惡，比在你之前所有的人更嚴重；你離開了我，為自己立了別神，鑄了偶像，惹我發怒，將我丟在背後。

撒瑪利亞啊，耶和華已拋棄你的牛犢；我的怒氣向拜牛犢的人發作。他們要到幾時方能無罪呢？因這牛犢是出於以色列，是匠人所造的，並不是神。撒瑪利亞的牛犢必被打碎。
