19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereo[illegible: 1+ letters], and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.

Which Jeroboam recovered afterwards, as appears by the course of the History, though it be not pa[illegible: 1+ letters]ticularly mentioned▪ which is the case of many other considerable things. And in the mean time it is very probable that, when Jeroboams Host was discomfited, and he expected that Abijah would purs[illegible: 1+ letters]e his Victory, he removed the Golden Calf from Beth-el, which lay near Abijahs Kingdom to some safer Place.

A City so called, possibly the same which is mentioned, Ioh. 11. 54. or that which is called Ophra, Iudg. 8. 27.
