* And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife , and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse ; * Which bare him children ; Jeush , and Shamariah , and Zaham . * And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom ; which bare 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 took eighteen wives , and threescore concubines ; and begat twenty and eight sons , and threescore daughters .) * And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief , to be ruler among his brethren : for he thought to make him king . * And he dealt wisely , and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin , unto every fenced city : and he gave them victual in abundance . And he desired many wives .
