Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)

But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
