Exegesis
The appositional title ʾĕlōhê ʾăbōtêhem {אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבוֹתֵיהֶֽם | ʾĕlōhê ʾăbōtêhem} ‘God of their fathers’ links Judah’s dependence to continuity with ancestral allegiance, so the English renderings preserve both the contrastive parallel outcomes and the explicit causal link.
Root and etymology
consonantsaleph–lamed–heh
“mighty one, God”
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:18
The sons of Israel were subdued in that time; the sons of Judah prevailed, because they leaned on the LORD , the God of their fathers.
