1 Kings 14:31–15:8

³¹And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

Chapter 15

¹And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah. ²He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Maachah, a daughter of Abishalom. ³And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father. ⁴But for David’s sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem; ⁵because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite. ⁶And there had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. ⁷And 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? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. ⁸And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.
