16. And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
17. Then Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; so five hundred thousand choice men of Israel fell slain.
18. Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the Lord God of their fathers.
19. And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephrain with its villages.
20. So Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21. But Abijah grew mighty, married fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22. Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the annals of the prophet Iddo.
