2 Chronicles 13:17

Compare all

15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God ^astruck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.

17 Then Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; so five hundred thousand choice men of Israel fell slain.

18 Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, ^abecause they relied on the Lord God of their fathers.

19 And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and ^aEphrain with its villages.

2 Chronicles 13:17

Slain - five hundred thousand chosen men - Query, fifty thousand? This was a great slaughter: see the note on II Chronicles 13:3, where all these numbers are supposed to be overcharged.
