Context of 1 Kings 15:7

5because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of [the betrayal of] Uriah the Hittite. 6There was war between Rehoboam [Abijam’s father] and Jeroboam all the days of Rehoboam’s life. Now as for the rest of the acts of Abijam and everything that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8Abijam slept with his fathers [in death] and they buried him in the City of David. Asa his son became king in his place. 9So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign as king over Judah.
