1 La dix-huitième année du règne de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, Abijam régna sur Juda.

2 Il régna trois ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Maaca, fille d’Abisalom.

3 Il se livra à tous les péchés que son père avait commis avant lui; et son cœur ne fut point tout entier à l’Éternel, son Dieu, comme l’avait été le cœur de David, son père.
