   “And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah,....

4. 2 Chronicles 14:1

   Then Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place, and in his days the land was at peace for ten years.

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 14:12 voices

   “So Abijah slept with his fathers, 1Ki 15:8. and Asa his son reigned in his stead; in his days the land was quiet ten years; the Targum is, the land of Israel; but much better the Septuagint, the land of Judah; these ten years, in which it had rest from war, were the first three years of Asa's reign, and the first seven of Baasha's, according to Jarchi, and which seems right; after which there was war between them all their days, see 1Ki 15:32.

   “Asa his son reigned - If Rehoboam was (1Ki 12:8 note) not more than 21 years old at his accession, Asa, when he mounted the throne, must have been a mere boy, not more than 10 or 11 years of age. The land was quiet ten years - The great blow struck by Abijah 2Ch 13:15-19, his alliance with Syria 1Ki 15:19, and the rapid succession of sovereigns in Israel during the earlier part of Asa’s reign 1Ki 15:25-33, would naturally prevent disturbance on the part of the northern kingdom.

5. 2 Chronicles 15:1

   Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 15:12 voices

   “Azariah the son of Oded--This prophet, who is mentioned nowhere else, appears at this stage of the sacred story in the discharge of an interesting mission. He went to meet Asa, as he was returning from his victorious pursuit of the Ethiopians, and the congratulatory address here recorded was publicly made to the king in presence of his army.

   “Oded is by some identified with Iddo, the prophet and historian of the two preceding reigns. In the Hebrew the two names differ very slightly.

6. 2 Chronicles 16:1

   In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 16:12 voices

   “In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah,.... How this is to be reconciled with the reign of Baasha, which was but twenty four years, and was begun in the third of Asa, and therefore must have been dead nearly ten years before this year of Asa's reign; see Gill on 1Ki 15:17 where, and in the following verses, are the same things related as here, to the end of the sixth verse; the explanation of which the reader is referred to.

   “The six and thirtieth year - After the division of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah; according to Usher. This opinion is followed in our margin; see the note on 1Ki 15:16, where this subject is farther considered. Concerning Baasha’s building of Ramah, see the note on 1Ki 15:17.

7. Matthew 1:7

   Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

   ›Commentary on Matthew 1:72 voices

   “And Solomon begat Roboam,.... Called Rehoboam, 1Ki 11:43 of Naamah an Ammonitess, 1Ki 14:21. And Roboam begat Abia, sometimes called Abijam, as in 1Ki 14:31, sometimes Abijah, 2Ch 12:16 and sometimes, as here, Abia, 1Ch 3:10. Him Rehoboam begat of Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom, 1Ki 15:2 called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, 2Ch 13:2. Maachah and Michaiah being the same name; or else she went by two names, as her father did.

   “Grace does not run in the blood, neither does reigning sin. God's grace is his own, and he gives or withholds it as he pleases. The captivity of Babylon is mentioned as a remarkable period in this line,
