Abijam
Abijam ("father of the sea" or "my father is the sea" or "my father is the god Yam") was the fourth king of the House of David and the second of the Kingdom of Judah. He was the grandson of Solomon and the great-grandson of David. The Chronicler refers to him as "Abijah ("my father is Yahweh"). William F. Albright has dated his reign to 915 BC-913 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 913 BC-911 BC. The Hebrew Bible gives his reign length as three years. His mother's name was Maacah, or Micaiah, the granddaughter of the infamous Abishalom (Absalom).
