14 The men of Judah turned around and realized they were being attacked from the front and the rear. So they cried out for help to the Lord. The priests blew their trumpets,
15 and the men of Judah gave the battle cry. As the men of Judah gave the battle cry, the Lord struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 The Israelites fled from before the Judahite army, and God handed them over to the men of Judah.
17 Abijah and his army thoroughly defeated them; 500,000 well-trained Israelite men fell dead.
18 That day the Israelites were defeated; the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the Lord God of their ancestors.
19 Abijah chased Jeroboam; he seized from him these cities: Bethel and its surrounding towns, Jeshanah and its surrounding towns, and Ephron and its surrounding towns.
20 Jeroboam did not regain power during the reign of Abijah. The Lord struck him down and he died.
