Context of 2 Chronicles 13:15

13Now Jeroboam had sent some men to ambush the Judahite army from behind. The main army was in front of the Judahite army; the ambushers were behind it. 14The men of Judah turned around and realized they were being attacked from the front and the rear. So they cried out for help to the Lord. The priests blew their trumpets, and the men of Judah gave the battle cry. As the men of Judah gave the battle cry, the Lord struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16The Israelites fled from before the Judahite army, and God handed them over to the men of Judah. 17Abijah and his army thoroughly defeated them; 500,000 well-trained Israelite men fell dead.
