2 Chronicles 13:10-18

“But as for us, the LORD is our God; we have not left him. The priests who serve the LORD are Aaron’s sons, and the Levites help them. They offer burnt offerings and sweet-smelling incense to the LORD every morning and evening. They put the bread on the special table in the Temple. And they light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. We obey the command of the LORD our God, but you have left him. God himself is with us as our ruler. His priests blow the trumpet to call us to war against you. Men of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your ancestors, because you won’t succeed.” But Jeroboam had sent some troops to sneak behind Judah’s army. So while Jeroboam was in front of Judah’s army, Jeroboam’s soldiers were behind them. When the soldiers of Judah turned around, they saw Jeroboam’s army attacking both in front and back. So they cried out to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets. Then the men of Judah gave a battle cry. When they shouted, God caused Jeroboam and the army of Israel to run away from Abijah and the army of Judah. When the army of Israel ran away from the men of Judah, God handed them over to Judah. Abijah’s army struck Israel so that five hundred thousand of Israel’s best men were killed. So at that time the people of Israel were defeated. And the people of Judah won, because they depended on the LORD, the God of their ancestors.
