2 Chronicles 11:20

The Family of Rehoboam

18 Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of ^aEliah the son of Jesse.

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.
