Ver. 8. And Asa his son reigned.] This was a good king. But it is wonder how he should be good, of the seed of Abijam, of the soil of Maachah, both wicked, both idolatrous. Thus we have seen, saith a reverend man, a fair flower spring out of dung, and a well-fruited tree rise out of a sour stock.

8. And Abijam slept with his fathers] To this the LXX. adds ‘in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam.’ This statement does not quite agree with the chronology given in 1Ki_15:1-2 of this chapter, and repeated in 2Ch_13:1-2. If Abijam came to the throne in the 18th year of Jeroboam and reigned 3 years, his death would fall in the twenty-first year of Jeroboam, or if the three years of his reign were incomplete at the beginning and end it might occur, as is said immediately in 1Ki_15:9, in the 20th year of Jeroboam.
