1 Kings 15:1 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 15.
1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
3 And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.
4 Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
