2 Chronicles 11:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

²¹ Rehoboam loved Absalom's daughter Maakah better than he loved any of his other wives. He had 18 wives and 60 slave wives. He was the father of 28 sons and 60 daughters.

²² Rehoboam chose Maakah's son Abijah to be the leader over his other sons. He wanted Abijah to become the next king. ²³ He did a wise thing with his other sons. He sent many of them to the different regions of Judah and Benjamin, to live in all the strong cities. He supplied them with plenty of food. He also found many women to become their wives.
