THE REIGNS OF ABIJAM AND ASA , KINGS OF JUDAH .

The Reign of Abijam .

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, reigned Abijam [see note on 1 Kings 14:31 . It is implied in 2 Chronicles 11:20-22 that he was not the firstborn among Rehoboam's twenty-eight sons, but the eldest son of the favourite wife. As he left behind him thirty-eight children ( 2 Chronicles 13:21 ) at his decease, some three years later, he must have been of considerable age at his accession. This consideration rather favours the idea that Rehoboam was " forty and one years old when he began to reign" ( 2 Chronicles 12:13 )] over Judah.
