1 Kings 15:1-8 - The Reign Of Abijam In Judah

1 The eighteenth year of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, king Abijam reigned over Judah, 2 and ruled three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father which he did before him, and his heart was not whole with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father. 4 Nevertheless, for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a light in Jerusalem; that he set up his son after him to continue Jerusalem, 5 because that David did which pleased the LORD and turned from nothing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam as long as he lived. 7 And the rest of the deeds of Abijam and all that he did, are written in the book of the deeds that were done in the days of the kings of Judah. And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8 And Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.
