International Standard Version

Jeroboam’s Death and Asa’s Reign in Judah

²⁰ Jeroboam never recovered his strength for the rest of Abijah’s life. The Lord struck Jeroboam,^[a] and he died, ²¹ but Abijah continued to grow more powerful. He took fourteen wives for himself and fathered 22 sons and sixteen daughters. ²² The rest of Abijah’s accomplishments, his lifestyle and his memoirs are recorded in the Midrash^[b] of the Prophet Iddo. 14 ^1 [c]Then Abijah died, as had his ancestors, and he was buried in the City of David. Abijah’s^[d] son Asa reigned in his place, and during his lifetime the land enjoyed rest for ten years.
