Solomon's son was Rehoboam, Abijah his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son,

אֲבִיָּ֥ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

אֲבִיָּה֙ 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, [ergänzt: even] the prince among his brothers; for [ergänzt: he was minded] to make him king.

אֲבִיָּ֥ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place.

אֲבִיָּ֥ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

אֲבִיָּ֖ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

אֲבִיָּ֖ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.

אֲבִיָּ֜ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:

אֲבִיָּ֗ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

אֲבִיָּ֖ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

אֲבִיָּ֥ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns of it, and Jeshanah with the towns of it, and Ephron with the towns of it.

אֲבִיָּה֮ 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Yahweh struck him, and he died.

אֲבִיָּ֑הוּ 'a.vi.Ya.hu “Abijah”

But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

אֲבִיָּ֔הוּ 'a.vi.Ya.hu “Abijah”

The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

אֲבִיָּ֔ה 'a.vi.Yah “Abijah”

So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
