15. Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
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.
