Tak pernah lagi Yerobeam mendapat kekuatan di zaman Abia. TUHAN memukul dia, sehingga ia mati.
Maka Yerobeampun tiada beroleh kuat lagi seumur hidup Abia, tambahan pula dipalu Tuhan akan dia, sehingga matilah ia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah,.... So as to bring an army into the field against him, and fight him:
and the Lord struck him; by some Jewish writers a, this is interpreted of Abijah; and the reason of his being stricken, they say, was because he did not destroy the calf when he took Bethel; but it is best to understand it of Jeroboam, since Abijah is afterwards said to wax mighty:
and he died; not immediately, for he lived two years after Abijah, 1 Kings 14:20, but continued under a lingering disease he was smitten with, and which issued in his death.
a Bereshit Rabba, sect. 65. fol. 58. 8. Seder Olam Rabba, c. 16.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeroboam’s death was a judgment upon him for his sins. Chronologically speaking, his death is here out of place, for he outlived Abijah at least two years (compare the marginal reference and 1 Kings 15:9); but the writer, not intending to recur to his history, is naturally led to carry it on to its termination.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 13:20. The Lord struck him, and he died. — Who died? Abijah or Jeroboam? Some think it was Jeroboam; some, that it was Abijah. Both rabbins and Christians are divided on this point; nor is it yet settled. The prevailing opinion is that Jeroboam is meant, who was struck then with that disease of which he died about two years after; for he did not die till two years after Abijah: see 1 Kings 14:20; 1 Kings 15:9. It seems as if Jeroboam was meant, not Abijah.
