11:17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they ^f walked in the way of David and Solomon.

(f) As long as they feared God, and set forth his word, they prospered.

11:22 And Rehoboam made ^g Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for [he thought] to make him king.

(g) Called also Abijam, who reigned three years, (1 Kings 15:2).
