20 Jeroboam no longer retained his power[a] during Abijah’s reign; ultimately, the Lord struck him(A) and he died.(B)

21 However, Abijah grew strong, acquired fourteen wives, and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 The rest of the events of Abijah’s reign, along with his ways and his sayings, are written in the Writing(C) of the Prophet Iddo.(D)

14 Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David. His son Asa became king in his place.(E) During his reign the land experienced peace for ten years.
