1 Kings 14:29-15:5

New International Version

²⁹ As for the other events of Rehoboam’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? ³⁰ There was continual warfare^(A) between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. ³¹ And Rehoboam rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.^(B) And Abijah^[a] his son succeeded him as king.

Abijah King of Judah^(C)

15 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah^[b] became king of Judah, ² and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maakah^(D) daughter of Abishalom.^[c]

³ He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted^(E) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been. ⁴ Nevertheless, for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp^(F) in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong. ⁵ For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep^(G) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah^(H) the Hittite.
