The wives and children of Abijah and he reigned three years in Jerusalem This phrase marks the duration of Abijah's reign over the kingdom of Judah. The number "three" in biblical terms often signifies completeness or divine perfection, though in this context, it may simply denote the short span of his rule. Jerusalem, the city of David, holds profound significance as the political and spiritual center of Judah. It is the city where God chose to place His name, and it serves as a symbol of God's covenant with David and his descendants. The brevity of Abijah's reign in such a significant city may suggest a period of transition or divine judgment, reflecting the instability that often characterized the divided monarchy. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel of Gibeah There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.--Now war had arisen. See 1Kings 15:6. "Now war had prevailed [same verb] between Abijam [common Hebrew text incorrectly has Rehoboam] and Jeroboam all the days of his life." The chronicler modifies the sense by omitting the concluding phrase, and then proceeds to give a striking account of a campaign in which Abijah totally defeated his rival (2Chronicles 13:3-20); of all which we find not a word in Kings. . . . Verse 2. - Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. As before noted (2 Chronicles 11:20), and as in the parallel (1 Kings 15:2), this name is one with "Maachah, daughter of Absalom" (parallel, Abishalom). The different alphabetic characters may be attributed to error, and that error the error of transcription merely. As in our note (2 Chronicles 11:20), the word "daughter," as in many similar cases, stands for granddaughter. Thus the father of Maachah was Uriel of Gibeah, and her mother Tamar, daughter of Absalom. Josephus ('Ant.,' 8:10. § 1) proffers us this connecting link of explanation. On the other hand, Rabbi Joseph's Targum on Chronicles says that Uriel means Absalom, but was a name used to avoid the use of Absalom. We have no clue as to which out of many Gibeahs is here intended. The Hebrew word (גִבְעָח) signifies a hill with round top, and hence would easily give name to many places. The following are the chief places of the name (as classified by Dr. Smith's 'Bible Dictionary,' 1:689-691):1. Gibeah in the mountain district of Judah (Joshua 15:57; 1 Chronicles 2:49). 2. Gibeath among the towns of Benjamin (Joshua 18:28). 3. The Gibeah (1 Samuel 7:1; 2 Samuel 6:3, 4). . . .
