First named in Scripture at 1 Chronicles 3:10 — read the chapter.

From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)

my father is the Lord, the Greek form of Abijah, or Abijam (Matthew 1:7), instead of Abiah (1 Chronicles 7:8). In Luke 1:5, the name refers to the head of the eighth of the twenty-four courses into which David divided the priests (1 Chronicles 24:10).
