1 Kings 15:1-8

Abijam Reigns over Judah

^aNow in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was ¹^aMaacah the daughter of ²^bAbishalom. 3 And he walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and ^ahis heart was not ¹wholly devoted to Yahweh his God, like the heart of his father David. 4 But for David’s sake Yahweh his God gave him a ^alamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem; 5 ^abecause David did what was right in the sight of Yahweh, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, ^bexcept in the case of Uriah the Hittite. 6 ^aNow there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 Now ^athe rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ^bAnd there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8 ^aAnd Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son became king in his place.
