2 CHRONICLES 11:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;”
Rehoboam took as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse — Rehoboam married within the Davidic line (וַיִּשֵּׂא שְׁלֹמֹה לוֹ אִשָּׁה מַחֲלַת בַּת־יְרִימוֹת בֶּן־דָּוִד)—a marriage to Davidic descendants, presumably to strengthen dynastic bonds.
