2 Chronicles 13:13-21 Amplified Bible (AMP)

13. But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come around them from behind, so his troops were before Judah and the ambush behind.

14. When Judah looked, behold, the battle was before and behind; and they cried to the Lord, and the priests blew the trumpets.

15. Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as they shouted, God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16. And the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.

17. And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter, so there fell of Israel 500,000 chosen men.

18. Thus the Israelites were brought low at that time, and the people of Judah prevailed because they relied upon the Lord, the God of their fathers.

19. And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took some cities from him, Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephraim (Ephron), with their towns.

20. Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah. And the Lord smote him and he died.

21. But Abijah became mighty. He married fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
