Contextual Overview

13But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them. 14When [the men of] Judah turned around, they were attacked from both front and rear; so they cried out to the LORD [for help], and the priests blew the trumpets. 15Then the men of Judah raised a war cry; and as they shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel [with defeat] before Abijah and Judah. 16And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God handed over the sons of Israel to them. 17Abijah and his people inflicted on them a great defeat, so that 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain. 18Thus the sons of Israel were subdued (humbled) at that time, and the sons of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers. 19Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured [several] cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephraim (Ephron), with their villages. 20Jeroboam did not recover strength again during the time of [the reign of] Abijah. And the LORD struck him and he died. 21But Abijah became powerful. He took fourteen wives for himself and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are written in the writing of the prophet Iddo.

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 15:7 - the rest 2 Chronicles 20:34 - the rest

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings,.... Not only his warlike actions, and his course of life, but some remarkable sayings of his, he being a man of wisdom and eloquence, as his above speech shows;

are written in the story of the prophet Iddo; who might write the history of his own times; see 1 Kings 15:7.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 13:22. Written in the story — במדרש bemidrash, "in the commentary;" this, as far as I recollect, is the first place where a midrash or commentary is mentioned. The margin is right.

His ways, and his sayings — The commentary of the prophet Iddo is lost. What his sayings were we cannot tell; but from the specimen in this chapter, he appears to have been a very able speaker, and one who knew well how to make the best use of his argument.
