The Scriptures 1998

2 Chronicles 13:13-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. But Yaroḇ‛am sent round an ambush to go behind them, so they were in front of Yehuḏah, and the ambush was behind them.

14. And Yehuḏah turned and saw the battle was both in front and behind them. Then they cried out to יהוה, and the priests sounded the trumpets.

15. And the men of Yehuḏah gave a shout. And it came to be, as the men of Yehuḏah shouted, that Elohim smote Yaroḇ‛am and all Yisra’ĕl before Aḇiyah and Yehuḏah.

16. And the children of Yisra’ĕl fled before Yehuḏah, and Elohim gave them into their hand.

17. And Aḇiyah and his people smote them with a great slaughter, and five hundred thousand choice men of Yisra’ĕl fell slain.

18. And the children of Yisra’ĕl were humbled at that time, while the children of Yehuḏah prevailed, because they relied on יהוה Elohim of their fathers.

19. And Aḇiyah pursued Yaroḇ‛am and captured cities from him: Bĕyth Ěl with its villages, and Yeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.

20. And Yaroḇ‛am did not regain power again in the days of Aḇiyahu. And יהוה smote him, and he died.

21. But Aḇiyah grew strong, and took fourteen wives, and brought forth twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
