1 Kings 15:1-8
1599 Geneva Bible
15 1 Abijam reigneth over Judah. 9 Asa succeedeth in his room. 16 The battle between Asa and Baasha. 24 Jehoshaphat succeedeth Asa. 25 Nadab succeedeth Jeroboam. 28 Baasha killeth Nadab.
1 And in the eighteenth year of King (A)Jeroboam the son of Nebat, reigned Abijam over Judah.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Maachah the daughter of [a]Abishalom.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father.
4 But for David’s sake did the Lord his God give him a [b]light in Jerusalem, and set up his son after him, and established Jerusalem,
5 Because David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commanded him all the days of his life, (B)save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam as long as he lived.
7 The rest also of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the (C)book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? there was also war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
