2 Chronicles 13:13-18

2 Chronicles 13:13-18 AMP

But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them. When [the men of] Judah turned around, they were attacked from both front and rear; so they cried out to the LORD [for help], and the priests blew the trumpets. Then the men of Judah raised a war cry; and as they shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel [with defeat] before Abijah and Judah. And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God handed over the sons of Israel to them. Abijah and his people inflicted on them a great defeat, so that 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain. Thus the sons of Israel were subdued (humbled) at that time, and the sons of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
