2 Crónicas 13:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:5

Ought you not to know
They did know what he afterwards says, but he would have them consider and acknowledge it:

that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for
ever;
to him and his seed, particularly to the Messiah, that should spring from him; but whether Abijah had this in view is a question, see ( 2 Samuel 7:13 2 Samuel 7:16 )

even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
that is, a perpetual one, which was inviolable, and never to be made void; called so, because salt preserves from corruption and putrefaction, and because made use of in sacrifices offered when covenants were made; the Targum is,

``as salt waters, which never lose their saltness.''

5 ¿No saben que el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, concedió para siempre el reino de Israel a David y a sus descendientes mediante un pacto inalterable?
6 Sin embargo, Jeroboán hijo de Nabat, oficial de Salomón hijo de David, se rebeló contra su señor.
7 Unos hombres ociosos y malvados se unieron a Roboán hijo de Salomón, cuando este era joven y débil de carácter, y se le impusieron, de modo que no pudo hacerles frente.
