Taking heart at the sound of the trumpets, and in order to encourage one another, and intimidate the enemy; (See Gill on 1 Samuel 17:20),

13 While Abijah was speaking, Jeroboam had sent men around to take them by surprise from the rear: Jeroboam in front of Judah and the ambush behind.

15 At the battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 The army of Israel scattered before Judah; God gave them the victory.
