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 (13:14)

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 (13:15)

And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand (13:16)

And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men (13:17)

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 (13:18)

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 (13:19)

Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the Lord struck him, and he died (13:20)

But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters (13:21)

And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, [are] written in the story of the prophet Iddo (13:22)
