Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam ,
the son of Nebat ,

For three years he was king in Jerusalem :
and his mother '
s name was Maacah ,
the daughter of Abishalom .

And he did the same sins which his father had done before him :
his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God ,
like the heart of David his father .

But because of David ,
the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem ,
making his sons king after him ,
so that Jerusalem might be safe ;

Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord ,
and never in all his life went against his orders ,
but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite .

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam ,
and all he did ,
are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah ?
And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam .

Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers ,
and they put him into the earth in the town of David :
and Asa his son became king in his place .
