Then the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when the men of Judah raised the battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah — Judah's battle-cry (וַיָּרִיעוּ בְנֵי־יְהוּדָה רוּעָה) triggered divine action (אֱלֹהִים וַיִּגֶּף אֶת־יָרָבְעָם וְאֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי אַבִּיָּה וִיהוּדָה). God routed (נגף—struck down) Israel. The numerical inferiority was overcome through divine intervention.
