2 Cronache 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.''

2 Cronache 13:5 In-Context

3 Abija entrò in guerra con un esercito di prodi guerrieri, quattrocentomila uomini scelti; e Geroboamo si dispose in ordine di battaglia contro di lui con ottocentomila uomini scelti, tutti forti e valorosi.
4 Ed Abija si levò e disse, dall’alto del monte Tsemaraim, ch’è nella contrada montuosa d’Efraim: "O Geroboamo, e tutto Israele, ascoltatemi!
5 Non dovreste voi sapere che l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, ha dato per sempre il regno sopra Israele a Davide, a Davide ed ai suoi figliuoli, con un patto inviolabile?
6 Eppure, Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, servo di Salomone, figliuolo di Davide, s’è levato, e s’è ribellato contro il suo signore;
7 e della gente da nulla, degli uomini perversi, si son raccolti attorno a lui, e si son fatti forti contro Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, allorché Roboamo era giovane, e timido di cuore, e non potea tener loro fronte.
