2 Chronicles 11:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ Rehoboam loved Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, more than all his other wives and concubines. He had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

²² Rehoboam appointed Abijah, the son of Maacah, as the chief prince among his brothers, inasmuch as he intended to make him king. ²³ He acted wisely by distributing some of his sons throughout all the districts of Judah and Benjamin in all the fortified cities. He also gave them copious provisions and obtained a number of wives for them.
