Context of 2 Chronicles 13:15

13But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them. 14When [the men of] Judah turned around, they were attacked from both front and rear; so they cried out to the Lord [for help], and the priests blew the trumpets. Then the men of Judah raised a war cry; and as they shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel [with defeat] before Abijah and Judah. 16And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God handed over the sons of Israel to them. 17Abijah and his people inflicted on them a great defeat, so that 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
