18 Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of kEliah the son of Jesse. 19 And she bore him children: Jeush, Shamariah, and Zaham. 20 After her he took lMaachah the 3granddaughter of mAbsalom; and she bore him nAbijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. 21 Now Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his owives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. 22 And Rehoboam pappointed qAbijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king. 23 He dealt wisely, and 4dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every rfortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
