Bible in Basic English
"And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns."
— 2 Chronicles 13:19, Bible in Basic English
And the children of Israel went in flight before Judah, and God gave them up into their hands.
And Abijah and his people put them to death with great destruction: five hundred thousand of the best of Israel were put to the sword.
So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.
And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.
And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.
But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are recorded in the account of the prophet Iddo.
