Contextual Overview

13 But Yarov‘am prepared to ambush them from behind, so that the main body was ahead of Y'hudah, while the ambush was behind them. 14 Thus when Y'hudah looked back, the battle had to be fought in front of them and behind them. They cried to Adonai , and the cohanim sounded the trumpets. 15 Then the men of Y'hudah gave forth a shout, and as the men of Y'hudah shouted, God struck Yarov‘am and all Isra'el before Aviyah and Y'hudah. 16 The people of Isra'el fled before Y'hudah, and God handed them over to them. 17 Aviyah and his army inflicted a great slaughter on them — 500,000 of Isra'el's select soldiers fell dead. 18 Thus the people of Isra'el were subdued that time, and the people of Y'hudah won the victory, because they relied on Adonai the God of their ancestors. 19 Aviyah pursued Yarov‘am, taking from him the towns of Beit-El with its villages, Y'shanah with its villages and ‘Efrayin with its villages. 20 Yarov‘am did not recover his strength during the time of Aviyahu. Finally Adonai struck him, and he died. 21 But Aviyahu grew strong; he married fourteen wives and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 Other activities of Aviyah, together with his ways of doing things and his sayings, are recorded in the commentary of the prophet ‘Iddo. Aviyah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son became king in his place; during his time the land was quiet for ten years.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Israel fled before Judah,.... Were in such a fright and consternation, that they could not stand their ground, or engage at all; but took to flight immediately:

and God delivered them into their hand; to be taken and slain by them.
