And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom, who bore Abijah to him, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam lasted all their days.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
