2 Crônicas 13:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:19

And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam
As he and his army fled:

and took cities from him;
the following ones:

Bethel with the towns thereof;
the villages adjoining to it; here one of the calves was set up, which either Jeroboam took care to remove before this place fell into the hands of Abijah, or Abijah let it remain, and did not destroy it:

and Jeshanah with the towns thereof;
which Reland ^F24 thinks is the same that is called by Jerom ^F25 Jethaba:

and Ephraim with the towns thereof;
a city so called, thought to be the same that is mentioned in the passage, (See Gill on John 11:54); it is here called, in the Targum, Ephron; so Jerom ^F26 calls it, and says it was Sichem.

2 Crônicas 13:19 In-Context

17 Abias e os seus soldados lhes infligiram grande derrota; quinhentos mil excelentes guerreiros de Israel foram mortos.

18 Os israelitas foram subjugados naquela ocasião, e os homens de Judá tiveram força para vencer, pois confiaram no SENHOR, o Deus dos seus antepassados.

19 Abias perseguiu Jeroboão e tomou-lhe as cidades de Betel, Jesana e Efrom, com os seus povoados.

20 Durante o reinado de Abias, Jeroboão não recuperou o seu poder; até que o SENHOR o feriu, e ele morreu.

21 Abias, ao contrário, fortaleceu-se. Ele se casou com catorze mulheres e teve vinte e dois filhos e dezesseis filhas.
