2 Chronicles 13:20-14:1
World English Bible
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died. 21 But Abijah grew mighty, and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
14 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years.
2 Chronicles 13:20-14:1
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.
