2 Chronicles 11:21
he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines—This royal harem, though far smaller than his father's, was equally in violation of the law, which forbade a king to "multiply wives unto himself" [Deuteronomy 17:17].
19 And she bore him children: Jeush, Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 After her he took aMaachah the granddaughter of bAbsalom; and she bore him cAbijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Now Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his awives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 And Rehoboam aappointed bAbijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.
23 He dealt wisely, and1 dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every afortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.
