In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam Abijah reigned upon Judah;
Also after this wife he took Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, and she childed to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
And the first and the last works of Rehoboam be written, and diligently declared, in the books of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the prophet. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought in all days against themselves.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah, his son, reigned for him.
