In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah.
Then after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom. And she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Now, are not the acts of Rehoboam written from beginning to end in the annals of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer, according to genealogy? And there were battles between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and Abijah ruled in his place.
