And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, those that he did before him, and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as was the heart of his father David.

But for David's sake Jehovah his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem.

For David did that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

And Abijam lay with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place.
