1 Kings 15:3–6

3 Abijam walked in all the sins his father before him had committed,ah and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the Lord his God as his ancestor David had been.ai 4 But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave him a lampE in Jerusalem by raising up his son after him and by preserving Jerusalem.aj 5 For David did what was right in the Lord’s sight, and he did not turn aside from anything he had commanded him all the days of his life,a except in the matter of Uriahb the Hethite.

6 There had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Rehoboam’s life.c
