Abijam Reigns in Judah
1 aIn the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. aHis mother’s name was bMaachah the granddaughter of cAbishalom.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; ahis heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.
4 Nevertheless afor David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem;
5 because David adid what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, bexcept in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
