And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took cities from him, Bethel with its villages, and Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages — Abijah's pursuit yielded territorial gains (וַיִּרְדֹּף אַבִּיָּה אַחֲרֵי יָרָבְעָם וַיִּלְכֹּד מִמֶּנּוּ עָרִים אֶת־בֵּית־אֵל): he captured Bethel (בֵּית־אֵל), Jeshanah (יְשָׁנָה), and Ephron (אֶפְרוֹן)—northern cities that had hosted Jeroboam's idolatrous shrines.
