2 Chronicles 13:16

2 Chronicles 13:16 In-Context

14 When the soldiers of Judah turned around, they saw Jeroboam's army attacking both in front and back. So they cried out to the Lord, and the priests blew the trumpets.

15 Then the men of Judah gave a battle cry. When they shouted, God caused Jeroboam and the army of Israel to run away from Abijah and the army of Judah.

16 When the army of Israel ran away from the men of Judah, God handed them over to Judah.

17 Abijah's army struck Israel so that five hundred thousand of Israel's best men were killed.

18 So at that time the people of Israel were defeated. And the people of Judah won, because they depended on the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
