Verse 18. The things that his father had dedicated] As it was a custom to dedicate a part of the spoils taken from an enemy to the service and honour of God, it is natural to suppose that Abijah, having so signally overthrown Jeroboam, (2Ch 13:15-19,) had dedicated a part of the spoils to the Lord; but they had not been brought into the temple till this time.
Silver, and gold, and vessels.] The word כלים kelim, which we translate vessels, signifies instruments, utensils, ornaments, &c.

18. the things that his father had dedicated] Probably spoils of war; cp. 1Ch_18:11. The verse seems to say that Abijah had wowed a portion of his spoils, but that Asa first actually presented them in the Temple. May we not take the passage (which occurs also in 1 Kin.) as an indirect confirmation of Abijah’s victory (2 Chronicles 13)?

(18) And he brought into the house of God.—The verse is identical with 1Ki_15:15, substituting God for Jehovah. “The things that his father had dedicated” were, doubtless, taken from the spoils after Abijah’s great victory over Jeroboam (2Ch_13:16-19); and” the things that he himself had dedicated “were a portion of the Cushite booty (2Ch_14:13-15).
The brief reference contained in that single verse of Kings is thus an evident confirmation of the chronicler’s narrative concerning the victories of Abijah and Asa, which he alone records.

Except for an unimportant difference of the Keri and Chethiv kind in one word, this verse is identical with the parallel. (1Ki_15:15) The silver, gold, and vessels were, of course, for the repair, restoration, and replacing of the revered fittings and ornaments of the temple. From what sources and after what victories the father of Asa and Asa himself had drawn these supplies is not given either here or in the parallel, but it is natural to suppose that Abijah"s victory over Jeroboam (2Ch_13:16) and Asa"s over Zerah would have been the chief occasions to finnish them.
