    12 Now look, God is with us at our head, and His priests with their trumpets are ready to sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.

    13 But Jeroboam deployed an ambush to come from behind them, so Judah was in front and the ambushers were behind them.

    14 When Judah turned, they saw that the battle was in front of them and behind them. They cried out to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

    15 Then the men of Judah raised a battle cry, and as they shouted, God struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

    16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.

    17 Abijah and his army inflicted a severe defeat on them, and five hundred thousand of Israel’s chosen men were killed.
