Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/1 Kings 15
Abijam becomes king of Judah. He continues the war against Jeroboam. Abijam's son, Asa, succeeds him, and he quickly deposes Maacah, his grandmother, from having any authority, because she supports the Canaanite religious practices. There is a perpetual war between him and King Baasha of Israel, who had support from Ben-hadad, king of Aram. Asa buys Ben-hadad's loyalty by sending him what remained of the treasures of the temple. Jehosaphat succeeds his father, Asa, as king of Judah.
