Abijah Reigns in Judah

(1 Kings 15:1–8)

13 In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah [fn] became king of Judah, 2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah [fn] daughter [fn] of Uriel; she was from Gibeah.

And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
