Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 15:13

She had made an idol in a grove - The original word, מפלצת miphletseth , is variously understood. I shall give its different views in the versions: - "Besides, he removed his mother Maacha from being chief in the sacred rites of Priapus, and in his grove which she had consecrated." - Vulgate. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 15:14

The high places were not removed - He was not able to make a thorough reformation; this was reserved for his son Jehoshaphat. Asa ' s heart was perfect - He worshipped the true God, and zealously promoted his service; see on 1 Kings 15:3 ; (note). And even the high places which he did not remove were probably those where the true God alone was worshipped; for that there were such high places the preceding history amply proves, and Jarchi intimates that these were... read more

Which his father had dedicated - On what account he and his father dedicated the things mentioned below, we know not; but it appears that Asa thought himself bound by the vow of his father. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 15:9

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Ass [Gesen. interprets the name to mean "physician"] over Judah. [This reign is related at much greater length in 2 Chronicles 14:1-15 .—16. We are there told of the Ethiopian invasion, of the prophecies of Azariah and Hanani, of the league with Syria, etc.] read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 15:9-15

Reformation. The moral condition of Judah was fearful when Asa came to the throne. The apostasy of Solomon had inaugurated a retrogression which was aggravated in the reigns following, so that for three generations the abominations of the heathens were increasing. The condition of Israel was even worse, under the system introduced by Jeroboam, to which the successors of that monarch tenaciously held. When the Holy Land was in such a state of degeneracy, what was the condition of the world... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 15:9-24

Zeal without trust. AN OPPORTUNITY RECOGNIZED AND USED . The need of the time was manfully met. Brought up in an idolatrous home, he nevertheless saw that this sin was sapping the foundation of the nation's stability and strength, and he set himself to root it out. 1 . The land was cleansed from . filthy abomination, from legalized, and even sanctified, sin ("And he took away the Sodomites," etc.) The nation that legalizes sin will reap corruption and shame: that which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 15:10

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem [Corn. a Lapide points out that Ass saw eight kings of Israel on the throne, Jeroboam, Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Tibni, Omri, and Ahab]. And his mother's [or grandmother's, as margin] name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. [The same words as in 1 Kings 15:2 , and the reference can hardly be to a different person. Bähr indeed questions whether אֵם can here stand for grandmother, read more

And Ass did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. ["It is a wonder how Ass should be good, of the seed of Abijam, of the son of Maachah" (Hall). ] read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 15:11-26

The Reign of Asa. Though this prince reigned forty and one years—a longer period than any of his predecessors, and, with two exceptions, a longer period than any of the kings who came after him—yet his reign, so far as it is recorded here, may be summed up in few words. "Happy is the nation," it has been said, "which has no history." But happier still the nation whose history, like that of Judah in the time of Asa, may be comprehended under these two heads— internal reforms, and ... read more

And he took away the Sodomites [see on 1 Kings 14:24 , and Romans 1:23-27 . It appears from 1 Kings 22:46 that this abomination was not wholly suppressed] out of the land, and removed all the idols [ גִּלֻּלִים from גָּלַל volvit A term of contempt (see Deuteronomy 29:17 , where it is coupled with "abominations; " Ezekiel 23:37 ); but whether the word is to be interpreted by גֵּלֶל a ball of dung, in which case these idols ( Dei stereorei ) would have a... read more
