16. The Israelites fled from Judah’s ⌊army⌋, and God handed them over to Judah.
17. So Abijah and his men defeated them decisively, and 500,000 of the best men of Israel were killed.
18. So the Israelites were humbled at that time, and the men of Judah won because they trusted the Lord God of their ancestors.
19. Abijah pursued Jer o boam and captured some of his cities: Bethel and its villages, Jeshanah and its villages, and Ephron and its villages.
20. Jer o boam never regained power during Abijah’s time. The Lord caused Jer o boam to become sick, and Jer o boam died.
21. But Abijah became strong. He married 14 wives and fathered 22 sons and 16 daughters.
22. Everything else about Abijah—how he lived and what he said—is written in the history by the prophet Iddo.
