* Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah . * Three years reigned he in Jerusalem . And his mother 's name was Maachah , the daughter of Abishalom . * 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 . * Nevertheless for David 's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem , to set up his son after him , and to establish Jerusalem : * Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD , and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life , save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite . * And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life . * Now the rest of the acts of Abijam , and all that he did , are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam . * And Abijam slept with his fathers ; and they buried him in the city of David : and Asa his son reigned in his stead .
