Verse 7

And Solomon begat Roboam ,.... Called Rehoboam, 1 Kings 11:43 of Naamah an Ammonitess, 1 Kings 14:21 .

And Roboam begat Abia , sometimes called Abijam, as in 1 Kings 14:31 , sometimes Abijah, 2 Chronicles 12:16 and sometimes, as here, Abia, 1 Chronicles 3:10 . Him Rehoboam begat of Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom, 1 Kings 15:2 called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, 2 Chronicles 13:2 . Maachah and Michaiah being the same name; or else she went by two names, as her father did.

And Abia begat Asa , who was a good king; his mother's name is the same with the name of his father's mother; and perhaps it is not his proper mother, but his grandmother who is meant in 1 Kings 15:10 . He is wrongly called Asaph in the Persic and Ethiopic versions, and in one copy.
