15 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.
16 And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 Thus the sons of Israel were humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah prevailed because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns and Jeshanah with its towns and Ephron with its towns.
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21 But Abijah waxed mighty and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
