1 Kings 15:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 Abijah ruled in Jerusalem as king for three years. His mother's name was Maakah. She was the daughter of Abishalom.[a] 3 Abijah did the same bad things that his father had done before him. He did not serve the Lord his God faithfully, as his ancestor King David had done. 4 But the Lord his God gave Abijah a son to rule after him in Jerusalem. He also made Jerusalem a strong city. The Lord did that because of his promise to David.

- 15:2 Abishalom may be another way to write Absalom, who was King David's son. So maybe Maakah was the granddaughter of King David.
