³¹and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother is Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.

Chapter 15

¹And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat, reigned hath Abijam over Judah; ²three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Maachah daughter of Abishalom; ³and he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father; ⁴but for David’s sake hath Jehovah his God given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem, ⁵in that David did that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him all days of his life—only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite; ⁶and war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. ⁷And the rest of the matters of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam and Jeroboam; ⁸and Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead.
