2 Chronicles 13:13-18 ▼

13 But Jeroboam had encircled an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them.

14 So Judah turned around, and behold, they were attacked both front and rear; so they cried to Yahweh, and the priests blew the trumpets.

15 Then the men of Judah raised a shout of war, and when the men of Judah raised the shout of war, then it was that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16 So the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand.

17 And Abijah and his people struck them down with a great slaughter, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.

18 Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah were strong because they leaned upon Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
