The king chapter 15

In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah.

He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Absalom.

Abigail was in charge of all the evil things his father had done before him, and his heart was not like his father David's, and he listened to the Lord his God sincerely.

However, for David's sake, the LORD his God gave him a light in Jerusalem, and made his son king in his place and established Jerusalem.

David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord except Uriah the Hittite, and did not violate all the commandments of the Lord all his life.

There was always war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during their lifetime.

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah? Abijam went to war with Jeroboam.

Abijam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David.

Although he is not a good king, "the Lord his God gave him light in Jerusalem because of David, and made his son succeed him as king and build Jerusalem."
