2 Chronicles 11:18-23 - Rehoboam's Harem And Family

18 And Rehoboam took Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David as a wife for himself, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse, 19 who bore him sons, Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. 20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom, who bore Abijah to him, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines (for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and had twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters).

22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brothers, in order to make him king. 23 And he dealt wisely and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities. And he gave them food in abundance. And he demanded many wives.
