13. So Jeroboam went around them with an ambush to come from behind them. Those from Israel were in front of Judah, while the ambush was behind them.
14. Then Judah turned and saw that the battle was both in front of and behind them. Then they cried out to the Lord, and the priests sounded their trumpets.
15. Then the men from Judah shouted out; and it happened when Judah shouted out, God struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16. The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand.
17. Abijah and his people struck them down with a great slaughter, and the slain from Israel who fell that day were five hundred thousand choice men.
18. So the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the people of Judah were strong for they depended on the Lord God of their fathers.
19. And Abijah chased after Jeroboam and captured cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron with their surrounding villages.
20. And Jeroboam did not again recover his strength in the days of Abijah, and the Lord struck down Jeroboam, and he died.
21. So Abijah grew strong and took fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22. And the remainder of the acts of Abijah, both his ways and words, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
