Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief, leader among his brothers, intending to make him king.^{(A) 23} Rehoboam also showed discernment by dispersing some of his sons to all the regions of Judah and Benjamin and to all the fortified cities. He gave them plenty of provisions and sought many wives for them.
