2 Chronicles 13:12-22
-
12 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
-
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
-
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
-
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote 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 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
-
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
-
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
-
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
-
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
-
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
