1 Kings 15:4-6
International Children’s Bible
4 Because the Lord had loved David, the Lord gave Abijam a kingdom in Jerusalem. And the Lord allowed him to have a son to be king after him. The Lord also kept Jerusalem safe. 5 David had always done what the Lord said was right. All his life he had always obeyed the Lord’s commands. There was only one time David did not obey the Lord. This was when he sinned against Uriah the Hittite.
6 Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam during Abijam’s lifetime.

New International Version
4 Nevertheless, for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp(A) in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong. 5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep(B) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah(C) the Hittite.
6 There was war(D) between Abijah[a] and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime.
