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 [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.
