1 Kings 15:3

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.

He walked in all the sins of his father - Yet Abijam prepared precious offerings for the temple service I Kings 15:15, probably to replace vessels which Shishak had carried off, and in his war with Jeroboam professed himself a faithful servant of Yahweh II Chronicles 13:10-12.
