2 Chronicles 11:18-23

18Rehoboam married Mahalath. Her father was David's son Jerimoth. Her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Jesse's son Eliab.

19She gave birth to three sons for Rehoboam. Their names were Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham.

20Then Rehoboam married Absalom's daughter Maakah. She gave birth to Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith for him.

21Rehoboam loved Absalom's daughter Maakah better than he loved any of his other wives. He had 18 wives and 60 slave wives. He was the father of 28 sons and 60 daughters.

22Rehoboam chose Maakah's son Abijah to be the leader over his other sons. He wanted Abijah to become the next king.

23He did a wise thing with his other sons. He sent many of them to the different regions of Judah and Benjamin, to live in all the strong cities. He supplied them with plenty of food. He also found many women to become their wives.
