1 Kings 15:3-5

3Abijah did the same bad things that his father had done before him. He did not serve the Lord his God faithfully, as his ancestor King David had done.

4But the Lord his God gave Abijah a son to rule after him in Jerusalem. He also made Jerusalem a strong city. The Lord did that because of his promise to David.

5David had always done things that pleased the Lord. David had obeyed the Lord's commands in his whole life, except what he did to Uriah, the Hittite man.
