2 Chronicles 11:21-23

[21] And Rehoboam  loved  Maachah  the daughter  of Absalom  above all his wives  and his concubines:  (for he took  eighteen  wives,  and threescore  concubines;  and begat  twenty  and eight  sons,  and threescore  daughters.)  [22] And Rehoboam  made  Abijah  the son  of Maachah  the chief,  to be ruler  among his brethren:  for he thought to make him king.  [23] And he dealt wisely,  and dispersed  of all his children  throughout all the countries  of Judah  and Benjamin,  unto every fenced  city:  and he gave  them victual  in abundance.  And he desired  many  wives.
