12 And behold, with us God for head, and his priests and trumpets of loud noise to cry against you. O ye sons of Israel, ye shall not wage war with Jehovah God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper. 13 And Jeroboam turned about an ambush to come from behind them: and they will be before Judah, and the ambush from behind them. 14 And Judah will turn, and behold, to them the war before and behind: and they will cry out to Jehovah and the priests trumpeting with the trumpets. 15 And the men of Judah will shout: and it will be in the shouting of the men of Judah, and God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 And the sons of Israel will flee from the face of Judah: and God will give them into their hand. 17 And Abijah and his people will strike upon them a great blow: and there will fall wounded from Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. 18 And the sons of Israel will be subdued in that time, and the sons of Judah will be strong, for they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers. 19 And Abijah will pursue after Jeroboam, and he will take cities from him, the house of God and its daughters, and Jeshanah and its daughters, and Ephraim and its daughters. 20 And Jeroboam retained no more strength in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah will smite him and he will die. 21 And Abijah will be strengthened, and he will take to him fourteen wives, and he will beget twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. 22 And the rest of the words of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, being written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo. 2 Chronicles 13:12-22, Smith's Literal Translation.
