21st Century King James Version

²² and Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief to be ruler among his brethren, for he thought to make him king.

²³ And he dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victuals in abundance. And he desired many wives.
