1 Kings 15:2-4

Common English Bible

² He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, and she was Abishalom’s daughter. ³ Abijam followed all the sinful ways of his father before him. He didn’t follow the Lord his God with all his heart like his ancestor David. ⁴ Even so, on account of David, the Lord his God gave Abijam a lamp in Jerusalem by supporting his son who succeeded him and by preserving Jerusalem.
