Abijam was a king of Judah in the 10th century BC. He was also called Abijah.
===Reign===
It is said in [[1 Kings 15:2]] that "his mother's name was [[Maachah]], the daughter of [[Abishalom]]" but in [[Books of Chronicles|2 Chronicles]] 13:2 we read, "his mother's name was [[Michaiah]], the daughter of [[Uriel of Gibeah]]." The explanation is that Maachah is just a variation of the name Michaiah, and that Abishalom is probably the same as [[Absalom]], the son of [[King David|David]]. It is probable that "Uriel of Gibeah" married [[Tamar]], the daughter of Absalom ([[2 Samuel 14:27]]), and by her had Maachah. The word "daughter" in [[1 Kings 15:2]] will thus, as it frequently elsewhere does, mean granddaughter.
