Death of Jeroboam

20 Jeroboam did not again recover strength in the days of Abijah; and the (A)Lord struck him and (B)he died.

21 But Abijah became powerful, and he took fourteen wives for himself, and fathered 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)Iddo the prophet.
