12 Beholde, God is the captayne of oure hoost, and with vs are his prestes, and the blowynge trompettes, to trompe agaynst you. Ye children of Israel, fight not agaynst the LORDE God of yor fathers: for ye shal not prospere.

13 Neuertheles Ieroboam made a preuy watch on euery syde, to come vpon them behynde, so that they were before Iuda, and ye preuy watch behynde.

14 Now wha Iuda turned them, beholde, there was battayll before the & behynde. Then cryed they vnto ye LORDE, & the prestes tromped with the trompettes,

15 & wha euery man in Iuda gaue a shoute, God plaged Ieroboam and Israel before Abia and Iuda.

16 And the children of Israel fled before Iuda, and God gaue them in to their handes,

17 so that Abia & his people dyd a greate slaughter vpon them, and there fell wounded of Israel fyue hundreth thousande chosen men.

18 Thus were the children of Israel subdued at that tyme, but the children of Iuda were comforted, for they put their trust in ye LORDE God of their fathers.

19 And Abia folowed vpon Ieroboam, and wanne cities fro him, Bethel with the vyllages therof, Iesana wt hir vyllages, and Ephron with the villages therof,

20 so that Ieroboam came nomore to strength, as longe as Abia lyued. And the LORDE smote him that he dyed.

21 Now whan Abia was strengthed, he toke fourtene wyues, and begat two and twentye sonnes and sixtene daughters.

22 What more there is to saye of Abia, and of his wayes and his doynges, it is wrytten in the storye of the prophet Iddo.
