2 Chronicles 13:20

Compare all

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.

20 So Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the Lord ^astruck him, and ^bhe died.

21 But Abijah grew mighty, married fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

22 Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in ^athe annals of the prophet Iddo.

2 Chronicles 13:20

The Lord struck him , and he died - Who died? Abijah or Jeroboam? Some think it was Jeroboam; some, that it was Abijah. Both rabbins and Christians are divided on this point; nor is it yet settled. The prevailing opinion is that Jeroboam is meant, who was struck then with that disease of which he died about two years after; for he did not die till two years after Abijah: see I Kings 14:20; I Kings 15:9. It seems as if Jeroboam was meant, not Abijah.
