1 Kings 15:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 In spite of this, the Lord, his God, gave him a lamp in Jerusalem for the sake of David, raising up his son to succeed him and making Jerusalem strong.[a] 5 He did this because of David who had done what was right in the sight of the Lord, and he had not turned away from anything that he had been commanded throughout his entire life with the exception of what happened with Uriah the Hittite. 6 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during their entire reign.
