2 Chronicles 11:18-23
18Then Rehoboam took as a wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of 1Eliab the son of Jesse,
19and she bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham.
20After her he took 2Maacah the daughter of 3Absalom, and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith.
21Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines. For 4he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines and fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
225Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as head and leader among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23He acted wisely and distributed 6some of his sons through all the territories of Judah and Benjamin to all the fortified cities, and he gave them food in abundance. And he sought many wives for them.
