15:1-3
Things now progress, though the nation regresses.Abijah becomes king of Judah and reigns for three years.His mother was the daughter of abishalom (possibly Absalom).
15:3-5
“He committed all the sins of his father” we are nor given a good picture of Abijah.David is used as the standard of comparison, though the Bible is also fully aware of David’s shortcomings. We are also told that God remembered\his promise to David. David’s failing with Uriah is noted.
15:6-8
There was no peace for there was war between AAbijah and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime. Abijah was succeeded by his son Asa. Asa was a fairly good king, and reigned for forty one years.
