Contextual Overview

13 But Jeroboam had made the ambush circle to come in behind them, and they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 14 And Judah turned. And, behold, the battle was against them before and behind. And they cried to Jehovah, and the priests were blowing with trumpets. 15 And the men of Judah shouted. And it was, at the shouting of the men of Judah, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 And the sons of Israel fled from the face of Judah, and God gave them into their hand. 17 And Abijah and his people struck them with a great blow, and five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell slain. 18 And the sons of Israel were humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah were strong. For they leaned on Jehovah the God of their fathers. 19 And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured cities from him: Bethel and its villages, and Jeshanah and its villages, and Ephrain and its villages. 20 And Jeroboam did not regain power any more in Abijah's days. And Jehovah struck him, and he died. 21 And Abijah became mighty, and he took fourteen wives to himself. And he fathered twenty two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the inquiry of the prophet Iddo.
