2 Chronicles 13:20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Jeroboam did not recover his power in the days of Abijah; the Lord struck him down, and he died.

See the chapter Copy

The time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; then he slept with his ancestors, and his son Nadab succeeded him.

In the twentieth year of King Jeroboam of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;

Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages and Jeshanah with its villages and Ephron with its villages.

But Abijah strengthened himself. He took fourteen wives and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

Mortal, with one blow I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes, yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down.

And immediately, because he had not given the glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

David said, “As the Lord lives, the Lord will strike him down, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish.
