In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
After her he took Maacah daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of the prophet Shemaiah and of the seer Iddo, recorded by genealogy? There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David, and his son Abijah succeeded him.
