Death of Jeroboam

20 Now Jeroboam did not again recover power in the days of Abijah; and (A)Yahweh smote him and (B)he died.

21 But Abijah became stronger; and he took fourteen wives to himself, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his words are written in (C)the [a]treatise of (D)the prophet Iddo.
