Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 15:25-34

NADAB; BAASHA; ELAH1 Kings 15:25-34; 1 Kings 16:1-10"Wheresoever the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together."- Matthew 24:28JEROBOAM slept with his fathers and went to his own place, leaving behind him his dreadful epitaph upon the sacred page. His son Nadab succeeded him. In his reign of twenty-two years the first king of Israel had outlived Rehoboam and his son Abijah. Asa, the great grandson of Solomon, was already on the throne of Judah. Of Nadab we are told next to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 15:1-34

ABIJAM'S MUCH SHORTER REIGN (vs.1-8) Though Rehoboam's reign was short, that of Abijam was much shorter, only three years (v.2). His mother's name was Maacah, who must have had no good influence over him, for Abijam followed his father's example in practicing the same sins of disobedience to God (v.3). In spite of the sins of Abijam, however, the Lord honored his great grandfather David by allowing Abijam to reign this short time in Judah (v.4). Thus, though the Lord often visits the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 15:1-34

ASA TO AHAB ABIJAM’S BRIEF REIGN IN JUDAH (1 Kings 15:1-8 ) This commentary will permit but the briefest treatment of the less important reigns of Judah and Israel, that more attention may be given to the others. “Abijam” is called “Abijah” in 2 Chronicles 12:16 . Verse 5, referring to David, is to be taken in the comparative sense spoken of in the lesson preceding. Verse 6 is a mistake, as some copies of the text read “Abijam” for “Rehoboam.’ Since Abijam began to reign in the eighteenth... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 15:1-34

Old Material for New Buildings 1Ki 15:22 In order to understand the text we shall have to remind ourselves of two or three historical circumstances. Baasha was king of Israel, Asa was the king of Judah. There was war between Baasha and Asa all their days. The king of Israel went up against Judah and built the strong fortress of Ramah, but the king of Judah strengthened himself by calling in, on the basis of an ancient treaty, the assistance of Benhadad, the king of Syria. Benhadad and Asa... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 15:25-34

(25) ¶ And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. (26) And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. (27) And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. (28) Even in the third... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 15:25-34

25-34 During the single reign of Asa in Judah, the government of Israel was in six or seven different hands. Observe the ruin of the family of Jeroboam; no word of God shall fall to the ground. Divine threatenings are not designed merely to terrify. Ungodly men execute the just judgments of God upon each other. But in the midst of dreadful sins and this apparent confusion, the Lord carries on his own plan: when it is fully completed, the glorious justice, wisdom, truth, and mercy therein... read more

The Rule of Nadad and Baasha in Israel v. 25. And Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years, it being necessary here once more to regard parts of years as whole ones. v. 26. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, in stubbornness and idolatry, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. v. 27. And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 15:16-34

Warring Brethren 1 Kings 15:16-34 We obtain a fuller view of the events described in the earlier part of this passage by reference to 2 Chronicles 16:1-6 . Asa’s early piety, which shone out in his drastic purging of idolatry and the corruptions which sprang up like fungi on a damp soil, cannot be questioned. Strange that such a man, who, by faith in God, had driven back Zerah’s formidable invasion, should in later years succumb to the craven methods of mere expediency in his conflict with... read more
