Divine Intervention in the Battle
2 Chronicles 13:13-18
13
But Yarov'am prepared to ambush them from behind, so that the main body was ahead of Y'hudah, while the ambush was behind them.
14
Thus when Y'hudah looked back, the battle had to be fought in front of them and behind them. They cried to ADONAI, and the cohanim sounded the trumpets.
15
Then the men of Y'hudah gave forth a shout, and as the men of Y'hudah shouted, God struck Yarov'am and all Isra'el before Aviyah and Y'hudah.
16
The people of Isra'el fled before Y'hudah, and God handed them over to them.
17
Aviyah and his army inflicted a great slaughter on them - 500,000 of Isra'el's select soldiers fell dead.
18
Thus the people of Isra'el were subdued that time, and the people of Y'hudah won the victory, because they relied on ADONAI the God of their ancestors.
