Abijam — king of Judah, son and successor of Rehoboam, also spelled Abijah
Aviyam is the form used in 1 Kings for the king of Judah who succeeded Rehoboam and reigned briefly (ca. 913-911 BC). The same king is called Aviyyahu in Chronicles and Aviyyah elsewhere, reflecting variant spellings of a name meaning 'Yah(u) is my father.' His five occurrences in 1 Kings (14:31; 15:1, 7, 7, 8) frame a reign described as continuing the sins of his father. The Greek Septuagint renders it Abiou or Abia, and the multilingual glosses — English 'Aviyam,' Spanish 'Aviyam' — consistently transliterate this specific royal figure.

1. sense 1 — The proper name Aviyam, designating the king of Judah who succeeded Rehoboam and preceded Asa. This spelling appears exclusively in 1 Kings (14:31; 15:1, 7, 8), while the parallel Chronicles account uses the longer forms Aviyyahu and Aviyyah. The Septuagint renders the name as Abiou, and all five occurrences in this lemma's scope refer to this single Davidic monarch, whose brief reign is summarized in the Deuteronomistic framework of Kings. 5×
