1 Kings 15:1-8

Abijam Reigns in Judah

1 Kings 15:1-8
1
It was in the eighteenth year of King Yarov'am the son of N'vat that Aviyam began his reign over Y'hudah.
2
He ruled three years in Yerushalayim; his mother's name was Ma'akhah the daughter of Avishalom.
3
He committed all the sins his father had committed before him; he was not wholehearted with ADONAI his God, as David his forefather had been.
4
Nevertheless, for David's sake ADONAI his God gave him a lamp burning in Yerushalayim by establishing his son after him and making Yerushalayim secure.
5
For David had done what was right from ADONAI's perspective; he had not turned away from anything he had ordered him to do, as long as he lived, except in the matter of Uriyah the Hitti.
6
There was war between Rechav'am and Yarov'am as long as he lived.
7
Other activities of Aviyam and all his accomplishments are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Y'hudah. But there was war between Aviyam and Yarov'am.
8
Aviyam slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son became king in his place.
