Abijah in the Bible

And the king hath not hearkened unto the people, for the revolution hath been from God, for the sake of Jehovah's establishing His word that He spake by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.

And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

And Rehoboam established Abijah the son of Maachah at the head, to be ruler among his brethren; for he thought to make him king.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, - and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, began Abijah to reign over Judah:

three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and, the name of his mother, was Maacah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah, - and there was, war, between Abijah and Jeroboam.

And Abijah began the war with a force of heroes of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, - and, Jeroboam, set in array against him to battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, heroes of valour.

And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, - and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!

Then the men of Judah gave a shout, - and it came to pass, when the men of Judah shouted, then, God himself, smote Jeroboam and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah.

And Abijah and his people smote among them with a great smiting, - and there fell down slain, of Israel, five hundred thousand chosen men.

And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and captured from him, cities, even Bethel, with the villages thereof, and Jeshanah, with the villages thereof, - and Ephron, with the villages thereof;

neither was Jeroboam strong any more, in the days of Abijah, - and Yahweh smote him that he died.

And Abijah strengthened himself, and took him, fourteen wives, - and begat twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

And, the rest of the story of Abijah, both his ways and his words, - are written, in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in iris stead, - in his days, the land rested ten years.

He brought the things that his father [Abijah] had dedicated and those things that he had dedicated into the house of God—silver and gold and utensils.

Hezekiah began to reign being twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.
