“ 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.

王打定了主意，就做了兩個金牛犢，對眾民說：“以色列人哪，你們上耶路撒冷去實在夠了。看哪，這是你們的神，就是從埃及地領你們上來的那位。”

耶羅波安為邱壇、公山羊神，以及他鑄造的牛犢，自己設立了祭司。

那時有古實人謝拉率領一百萬軍隊，戰車三百輛，前來攻打猶大人；他來到了瑪利沙。於是亞撒出去迎戰；他們就在瑪利沙的洗法谷列陣相對。亞撒呼求耶和華他的神說：“耶和華啊，強弱懸殊，除你以外沒有別的幫助。耶和華我們的神啊，求你幫助我們。因為我們倚靠你，奉你的名去對抗這大軍。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，因他喜悅你，使你坐在他的王位上，為耶和華你的神作王；因為你的神愛以色列人，要永遠堅立他們，所以立你作他們的王，好秉公行義。”

列國為甚麼騷動？萬民為甚麼空謀妄想？世上的君王起來，首領聚在一起，敵對耶和華和他所膏立的，說：“我們來掙斷他們給我們的束縛，擺脫他們的繩索！”那坐在天上的必發笑，主必譏笑他們。那時，他必在烈怒中對他們講話，在震怒中使他們驚慌，說：“我已經在錫安我的聖山上，立了我的君王。”

他本國的人卻恨他，就派使者跟著去說：‘我們不願意這個人作王統治我們。’

我們的神啊，你不懲罰他們嗎？因為我們沒有力量抵擋這來攻打我們的大軍；我們也不知道該作甚麼；我們的眼睛只有仰望你。”

至於我那些仇敵，就是不願意我作王統治他們的，把他們拉到這裡來，在我面前殺掉！’”

君王不是因兵多得勝，勇士不是因力大得救。

“我們可以上去攻打猶大，擾亂她，把她攻佔過來，歸我們所有，又在其中立他比勒的兒子作王。”因此，主耶和華這樣說：“這計謀必立不住，也不能成就，

因為有一個嬰孩為我們而生，有一個兒子賜給我們；政權必擔在他的肩頭上；他的名必稱為“奇妙的策士、全能的神、永恆的父、和平的君”。他的政權與平安必無窮無盡地增加，他在大衛的寶座上治理他的國，以公平和公義使國堅立穩固，從現在直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成全這事。

說：“耶和華我們列祖的神啊，你不是天上的神嗎？你不是統治列邦萬國的嗎？你手中有大能大力，沒有人能抵擋你。

你反倒行惡，比那些在你以前的更壞；又去為自己製造了別的神和鑄造偶像惹我發怒，把我丟在背後。

撒瑪利亞啊！我要除掉你的牛犢，我的怒氣要向撒瑪利亞人發作，他們要到幾時才能無罪免罰呢？這牛犢是出於以色列，是匠人所做的，它並不是神，撒瑪利亞的牛犢必被粉碎。
