* And Rehoboam took a wife for himself , Mahalath , the daughter of Jerimoth , the son of David ; Abihail the daughter of Eliab , the son of Jesse . * And she bore to him sons : Jeush , and Shamariah , and Zaham . * And after her , he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom , and she bore to him Abijah , and Attai , and Ziza , and Shelomith . * And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines (for he had taken eighteen wives , and sixty concubines ; and he fathered twenty eight sons and sixty daughters ). * And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maachah the head , as ruler among his brothers , in order to cause him to reign . * And he had understanding , and spread out all his sons to all the lands of Judah and Benjamin , to all the cities of defense , and gave them provision in abundance . And he demanded a multitude of wives .
