Bible Verses About Maachah: 4. Called Michaiah, mother of Abijam and grandmother of Asa

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)

Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.

He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. He sought for them many wives.
