1 Kings 15:4-6
The Voice
4 Nevertheless, the Eternal One his God left the lamp of His presence in Jerusalem for David’s sake, so that He might allow his son to grow up there and to make a strong foundation for Jerusalem. 5 David did what was good in the eyes of the Eternal, for he did not abandon the commands of the Eternal during his lifetime, with the exception of the incident with Uriah the Hittite.[a] 6 The war between Rehoboam’s and Jeroboam’s people continued during Abijam’s entire lifetime.

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.
