The Reign Of Abijam In Judah

³ He was not completely loyal to Jehovah his God as his great-grandfather David had been. He committed the same sins as his father did. ⁴ But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem; ⁵ Jehovah did this because David had done what was right in Jehovah's eyes. He obeyed his commandments, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
