1 Kings 15:1-8

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Nebat's son.

2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah, and she was Abishalom's daughter.

3 Abijam followed all the sinful ways of his father before him. He didn't follow the LORD his God with all his heart like his ancestor David.

4 Even so, on account of David, the LORD his God gave Abijam a lamp in Jerusalem by supporting his son who succeeded him and by preserving Jerusalem.

5 This was because David did the right thing in the LORD's eyes. David didn't deviate from anything the LORD commanded him throughout his life—except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam as long as Abijam lived.

7 The rest of Abijam's deeds and all that he did, aren't they written in the official records of Judah's kings? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Abijam lay down with his ancestors; he was buried in David's City. His son Asa succeeded him as king.

New International Version NIV

1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah became king of Judah,

2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maakah daughter of Abishalom.

3 He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been.

4 Nevertheless, for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong.

5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not failed to keep any of the LORD’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.

6 There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime.

7 As for the other events of Abijah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

8 And Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Asa his son succeeded him as king.
