O ye children of Israel, fight not against the Lorde God of your fathers: for it wyll not prosper with you. 13 But for all that, Ieroboam conuayed men priuyly about, to come behinde the: and so they were before Iuda, and the layers in wayte were behinde them. 14 And when they of Iuda loked about, beholde the battaile was before and behinde, and they cryed vnto the Lorde, and the priestes blewe with the trumpettes, 15 And the men of Iuda gaue a showte: And as the men of Iuda showted, it came to passe that God smote Ieroboam and all Israel before Abia and Iuda. 16 And the children of Israel fled before Iuda, and God delyuered them into their hande. 17 And Abia and his people slue a great slaughter of them: There fell downe wounded of Israel fiue hundred thousand chosen men. 18 And so the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time, & the children of Iuda preuayled, because they leaned vnto the Lorde God of their fathers. 19 And Abia folowed after Ieroboam, and toke cities from him, Bethel with the townes belonging thereto, Iesana with the townes that belonged thereto, and Ephron with her townes. 20 And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abia: And the Lorde plagued him, and he dyed. 21 But Abia waxed mightie, and maryed foureteene wiues, and begat twentie and two sonnes, and sixteene daughters. 22 The rest of the actes of Abia, his maners and his sayinges, are written in the story of the prophete Iddo.
