In the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.
He later married Maacah the daughter of Absalom. She bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
The events of Rehoboam’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded in the Annals of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer that include genealogical records.
Then Rehoboam passed away and was buried in the City of David. His son Abijah replaced him as king.
