1 Kings 15:2-10

2ThreeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was MaachahH4601, the daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53.12 3And he walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of his fatherH1, which he had doneH6213 beforeH6440 him: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with YhwhH3068 his GodH430, as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 4Nevertheless for David’sH1732 sake did YhwhH3068 his GodH430 giveH5414 him a lampH5216 in JerusalemH3389, to set upH6965 his sonH1121 afterH310 him, and to establishH5975 JerusalemH3389:3 5Because DavidH1732 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of YhwhH3068, and turned not asideH5493 from any thing that he commandedH6680 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, save only in the matterH1697 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. 6And there was warH4421 between RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416. 7Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AbijamH38, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? And there was warH4421 between AbijamH38 and JeroboamH3379. 8And AbijamH38 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

9And in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 reignedH4427 AsaH609 over JudahH3063. 10And fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was MaachahH4601, the daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53.4
