15. And the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16. And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
17. And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18. And the children of Israel were humbled at that time, and the children of Judah were strengthened, because they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers.
19. And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its dependent villages, and Jeshanah with its dependent villages, and Ephron with its dependent villages.
20. And Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and Jehovah smote him, and he died.
21. But Abijah strengthened himself, and took fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22. And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are written in the treatise of the prophet Iddo.
