1 Kings 15:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ But for David’s sake the Lord his God made Abijam a lamp in Jerusalem. He appointed David’s descendant to rule after him and protected Jerusalem. ⁵ The Lord did this because David did what the Lord considered right: David never failed to do anything the Lord commanded him to do his entire life (except in the matter concerning Uriah the Hittite).

⁶ There was war between Abijam ^[a] and Rehoboam throughout their lives.
