1 Kings 15:3 WBT

¹  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

²  Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

³  And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

⁴  Nevertheless, for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

⁵  Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any [thing] that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
