2 Chronicles 13:17-22 ▼

17 Abijah and his army defeated them in a tremendous slaughter that resulted in 500,000 special forces from Israel being slain.

18 And so the descendants of Israel were defeated at that time. The descendants of Judah were victorious because they trusted in the LORD God of their ancestors.

19 After this Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured Bethel and its villages, Jeshanah and its villages, and Ephron and its villages.

20 Jeroboam never recovered his strength for the rest of Abijah's life. The LORD struck Jeroboam, and he died,

21 but Abijah continued to grow more powerful. He took fourteen wives for himself and fathered 22 sons and sixteen daughters.

22 The rest of Abijah's accomplishments, his lifestyle and his memoirs are recorded in the Midrash of the Prophet Iddo.
