מלכים א, פרק ט״ו, פסוק ח׳

The transition of power in the ancient kingdom follows a steady rhythm of life, death, and succession. Upon the passing of Abijam, he was laid to rest in the City of David. This location held deep historical significance, as it served as the traditional burial ground for his royal ancestors, connecting him in death to the kings who ruled before him. Following his passing, the royal lineage continued unbroken. His son Asa inherited the throne, stepping into his father's place to lead the nation.
