1 Kings 15:2-4
New Living Translation
2 He reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.[a]
3 He committed the same sins as his father before him, and he was not faithful to the Lord his God, as his ancestor David had been. 4 But for David’s sake, the Lord his God allowed his descendants to continue ruling, shining like a lamp, and he gave Abijam a son to rule after him in Jerusalem.
