Reign of Abijam

because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and didn’t turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.

Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
