1 Kings 15:1–8

Now ^ain the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. ²Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. ^bAnd his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. ³And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and ^chis heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father. ⁴Nevertheless for David’s sake did the Lord his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: ⁵because David ^ddid that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, ^esave only in the matter of Urijah the Hittite. ^6fAnd there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. ^7gNow the 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? ^hAnd there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. ⁸ⁱAnd Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
