However, the name may appear in Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, where it is transliterated into Greek characters. Usage: The name Abijam is used in the context of a king of Judah. It appears in the historical narratives of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Kings and Chronicles. Context: Abijam was the son of Rehoboam and the grandson of Solomon, making him a member of the Davidic line of kings. He reigned as the king of Judah for three years, as recorded in 1 Kings 15:1-8 and 2 Chronicles 13:1-22. His reign is noted for its continuation of the practices of his father, Rehoboam, which were not fully aligned with the worship of Yahweh. Despite this, the biblical narrative acknowledges that for David's sake, God allowed his lineage to continue. Abijam's reign was marked by conflict with Jeroboam, the king of Israel, and he is remembered for a significant battle against Jeroboam's forces, which is detailed in 2 Chronicles 13. The account in Chronicles presents Abijam (referred to as Abijah in Chronicles) as a king who, despite his shortcomings, called upon the Lord and achieved victory over Israel due to divine intervention. His reign was relatively short, and he was succeeded by his son Asa, who is noted for his reforms and return to the worship of Yahweh.
