3.亞比央行他父親在他以前所行的一切惡,他的心不像他祖大衛的心,誠誠實實地順服耶和華他的 神。
He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been.
4.然而耶和華他的 神因大衛的緣故,仍使他在耶路撒冷有燈光,叫他兒子接續他作王,堅立耶路撒冷。
Nevertheless, for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong.
5.因為大衛除了赫人烏利亞那件事,都是行耶和華眼中看為正的事,一生沒有違背耶和華一切所吩咐的。
For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not failed to keep any of the LORD’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
6.羅波安在世的日子常與耶羅波安爭戰。
There was war between Abijah[c] and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime.

c. 1 Kings 15:6 Some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac Abijam (that is, Abijah); most Hebrew manuscripts Rehoboam
7.亞比央其餘的事,凡他所行的,都寫在猶大列王記上。亞比央常與耶羅波安爭戰。
As for the other events of Abijah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
8.亞比央與他列祖同睡,葬在大衛的城裏。他兒子亞撒接續他作王。
And Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Asa his son succeeded him as king.
