Civil War against Jeroboam

20Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.21But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
