2 Chronicles 11:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ Rehoboam loved Maacah, Absalom’s granddaughter, more than all his other wives and concubines.^[a] (He had 18 wives and 60 concubines. He fathered 28 sons and 60 daughters.)

²² Rehoboam appointed Abijah, son of Maacah, as family head and prince among his brothers. By doing this, Rehoboam could make him king. ²³ He wisely placed his sons in every region of Judah and Benjamin, in every fortified city. He gave them allowances and obtained many wives for them.
