3And Abijam walkedH1980 in allH3605 the sinsH2403 that his fatherH1 before himH6440 had committedH6213, and his heartH3824 wasH1961 notH3808 as fully devotedH8003 toH5973 the LORDH3068 his GodH430 as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his forefatherH1 had been. 4NeverthelessH3588, for the sakeH4616 of DavidH1732, the LORDH3068 his GodH430 gaveH5414 him a lampH5216 in JerusalemH3389 by raising upH6965 a sonH1121 to succeed himH310 and to makeH5975 Jerusalem strongH3389. 5ForH834 DavidH1732 had doneH6213 what was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 and had notH3808 turned asideH5493 from anythingH3605 the LORD commandedH6680 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, exceptH7535 in the matterH1697 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.
6And there wasH1961 warH4421 betweenH996 the houses of RehoboamH7346H9962 and JeroboamH3379 allH3605 the daysH3117 of Abijam’s lifeH2416.3
7As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AbijamH38, along with allH3605 his accomplishmentsH834H6213, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? And there wasH1961 warH4421 betweenH996 AbijamH38H996 and JeroboamH3379.
8And AbijamH38 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732, and his sonH1121 AsaH609 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.
9In the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of Jeroboam’sH3379 reignH4428 over IsraelH3478, AsaH609 became kingH4427H4428 of JudahH3063, 10and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 forty-oneH705H259 yearsH8141. His grandmother’sH5174 nameH8034 was MaacahH4601 daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53.
