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.  
6 aAnd there was war between1 Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.  
7 aNow the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
