1 Kings 15:4 in Context — 1 Kings 15
2 Reinó tres años en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Maachâ, hija de Abisalom.
3 Y anduvo en todos los pecados de su padre, que había éste hecho antes de él; y no fué su corazón perfecto con Jehová su Dios, como el corazón de David su padre.
4 Mas por amor de David, dióle Jehová su Dios lámpara en Jerusalem, levantándole á su hijo después de él, y sosteniendo á Jerusalem:
5 Por cuanto David había hecho lo recto ante los ojos de Jehová, y de ninguna cosa que le mandase se había apartado en todos los días de su vida, excepto el negocio de Uría Hetheo.
6 Y hubo guerra entre Roboam y Jeroboam todos los días de su vida.
