Abijam (Abijah) Son of Rehoboam, King of Judah
15 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam[a] became king over Judah. 2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Ma’akah, granddaughter of Abishalom.[b] 3 He walked in all the sins which his father had practiced before him, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord as the heart of his grandfather David had been.

- 1 Kings 15:1 He is called Abijah in 2 Chronicles 13.
- 1 Kings 15:2 Abishalom is a variant spelling of Absalom. Literally, the Hebrew reads daughter of Abishalom. Data in 2 Chronicles 13:2 implies that Ma’a kah was Absalom’s granddaughter rather than his daughter.
