2 Chronicles 13:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ Abijah and his army slaughtered 500,000 of the Israelite warriors. ¹⁸ The Northern Israelites were defeated because the people of Judah trusted in the Eternal One, the True God of their ancestors. ¹⁹ Abijah pursued the fleeing Jeroboam and captured several Northern cities and their surrounding towns and regions: Bethel (one of the Northern Kingdom’s shrine cities), Jeshanah, and Ephron.
