Context of 1 Kings 15:7

5The Lord did this because David did what the Lord considered right: David never failed to do anything the Lord commanded him to do his entire life (except in the matter concerning Uriah the Hittite). 6There was war between Abijam and Rehoboam throughout their lives. Isn’t everything else about Abijam—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8Abijam lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king. 9In Jeroboam’s twentieth year as king of Israel, Asa began to rule as king of Judah.
