1 Kings 15:8

AbijahAsaDavid

6 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
