1 Kings 15:3-5

Living Bible

³ He was as great a sinner as his father was, and his heart was not right with God, as King David’s was. ⁴ But despite Abijam’s sin, the Lord remembered David’s love^[a] and did not end the line of David’s royal descendants. ⁵ For David had obeyed God during his entire life except for the affair concerning Uriah the Hittite.
