20 Jeroboam did not regain power during the reign of Abijah.[a] The Lord struck him down and he died. 21 Abijah’s power grew; he had[b] fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

22 The rest of the events of Abijah’s reign, including his deeds and sayings,[c] are recorded in the writings of the prophet Iddo.

14 (13:23)[d] Abijah passed away[e] and was buried in the City of David.[f] His son Asa replaced him as king. During his reign[g] the land had rest for ten years.

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.
