  • 1 Kgs 15:1-8 : 1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah. 2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom. 3 He committed all the sins his father had done before him, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been. 4 Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by establishing Jerusalem. 5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 6 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 7 The rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? There was also war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8 Abijam rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa became king in his place.
