God's Inescapable Judgment
All commentators agree that the phrase "Jehovah smote him" signifies a direct, judicial act of God. Matthew Henry powerfully states that while Jeroboam escaped Abijah's sword, "there is no escaping His sword." This verse serves as a solemn reminder that God's judgment is ultimate and cannot be avoided, even if earthly consequences are delayed or averted.
