The wives and children of Abijah and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. Abijah's reign over Judah was relatively short, lasting only three years. This brief period suggests a time of instability and transition following the division of the united monarchy after Solomon's reign. Jerusalem, the capital city, remained the political and spiritual center of Judah, housing the Temple built by Solomon. The short reign may reflect the challenges Abijah faced, including internal strife and external threats, particularly from the northern kingdom of Israel. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. Persons / Places / Events 1. AbijahThe king of Judah who reigned in Jerusalem for three years. He is noted for his conflict with Jeroboam, the king of Israel. 2. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, where Abijah reigned. It holds significant religious and political importance in the history of Israel and Judah. 3. Maacah The mother of Abijah, identified as the daughter of Abishalom. Her lineage is significant in understanding the royal family dynamics. 4. Abishalom Mentioned as Maacah's father, providing insight into the familial connections within the royal lineage. 5. Jeroboam The king of Israel who was in constant conflict with Abijah. His reign represents the divided kingdom period in Israel's history. 6. War between Abijah and Jeroboam A significant event that highlights the ongoing conflict between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Teaching Points The Importance of Godly LeadershipAbijah's reign, though short, was marked by conflict. This highlights the need for leaders who seek God's guidance and wisdom in times of strife. Family Influence and Legacy The mention of Maacah and Abishalom underscores the impact of family heritage and upbringing on one's leadership and decisions. The Consequences of Division The war between Abijah and Jeroboam serves as a reminder of the destructive nature of division within God's people and the importance of unity. Trust in God's Sovereignty Despite the political turmoil, God's plan for His people continued. Believers can trust in God's sovereignty even amidst conflict and uncertainty. The Role of Conflict in Spiritual Growth The ongoing war can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual battles, encouraging believers to rely on God's strength and promises.(2) His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.--Kings reads for the names "Maachah the daughter of Abishalom"; and as the chronicler has himself already designated Abijah as son of Maachah, daughter of Absalom (2Chronicles 11:20-22), there can be no doubt that this is correct, and that "Michaiah," which is elsewhere a man's name, is a corruption of Maachah. This is confirmed by the LXX., Syriac, and Arabic, which read Maachah. As we have already stated (2Chronicles 11:20), Maachah was granddaughter to Absalom, being a daughter of Tamar the only daughter of Absalom. Uriel of Gibeah, then, must have been the husband of Tamar. (See on 2Chronicles 15:16. Uriel of Gibeah is otherwise unknown.) And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.--Now war had arisen. See 1Kings 15:6. "Now war had prevailed [same verb] between Abijam [common Hebrew text incorrectly has Rehoboam] and Jeroboam all the days of his life." The chronicler modifies the sense by omitting the concluding phrase, and then proceeds to give a striking account of a campaign in which Abijah totally defeated his rival (2Chronicles 13:3-20); of all which we find not a word in Kings. . . . Verse 2. - Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. As before noted (2 Chronicles 11:20), and as in the parallel (1 Kings 15:2), this name is one with "Maachah, daughter of Absalom" (parallel, Abishalom). The different alphabetic characters may be attributed to error, and that error the error of transcription merely. As in our note (2 Chronicles 11:20), the word "daughter," as in many similar cases, stands for granddaughter. Thus the father of Maachah was Uriel of Gibeah, and her mother Tamar, daughter of Absalom. Josephus ('Ant.,' 8:10. § 1) proffers us this connecting link of explanation. On the other hand, Rabbi Joseph's Targum on Chronicles says that Uriel means Absalom, but was a name used to avoid the use of Absalom. We have no clue as to which out of many Gibeahs is here intended. The Hebrew word (גִבְעָח) signifies a hill with round top, and hence would easily give name to many places. The following are the chief places of the name (as classified by Dr. Smith's 'Bible Dictionary,' 1:689-691):1. Gibeah in the mountain district of Judah (Joshua 15:57; 1 Chronicles 2:49). 2. Gibeath among the towns of Benjamin (Joshua 18:28). 3. The Gibeah (1 Samuel 7:1; 2 Samuel 6:3, 4). . . .
