Exegesis
{וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין … וּבֵין … | u-mi-ḥā-māh hā-yə-tāh bēn… u-bēn…} employs a verbless clause to assert the existence of war and sets up adversarial relations between Abijah and Jeroboam. The repeated vav + relational phrases create a measured, annalistic rhythm.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:2
And he reigned in Jerusalem three years. The name of his mother was Micaiah , daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
