19. Abijah pursued Jeroboam and seized cities from him: Bethel and its dependencies, Jeshanah and its dependencies, and Ephron and its dependencies.
20. Jeroboam did not regain power during Abijah’s time; the Lord struck him down and he died,
21. while Abijah continued to grow stronger. He married fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22. The rest of the acts of Abijah, his deeds and his words, are recorded in the midrash of the prophet Iddo.
