In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah,
Then he married Maakah daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith.
As for the events of Rehoboam’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer that deal with genealogies? There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Rehoboam rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son succeeded him as king.
