4. But for David's sake, the Lord his God gave Abijah a son to rule after him in Jerusalem and to keep Jerusalem secure.
5. The Lord did this because David had done what pleased him and had never disobeyed any of his commands, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
6. The war which had begun between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continued throughout Abijah's lifetime.
7. And everything else that Abijah did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
8. Abijah died and was buried in David's City, and his son Asa succeeded him as king.
