13
But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
14
When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16
The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
17
Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
