2<\/strong>. Three years reigned he<\/em> ] If he began his reign in the eighteenth year of Jeroboam, and was succeeded by Asa (1Ki 15:9<\/span>) in the twentieth year of the same king, the three years cannot have been complete. But this must frequently be noted in the chronological records of the two kingdoms, and imports an element of uncertainty into them.<\/p>\n Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom<\/em> ] In 2Ch 13:2<\/span> Abijah’s mother is called ‘Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.’ But in 2Ch 11:20<\/span> it is said that Rehoboam married ‘Maachah the daughter of Absalom, which bare him Abijah.’ Abishalom<\/em> is only another form of Absalom<\/em> and the person here meant may be the well-known son of David. ‘Daughter’ is sometimes used for ‘grand-daughter. Absalom had one daughter, called Tamar (2Sa 14:27<\/span>) who may have married Uriel, and have had a daughter Maachah. The (Michaiah) of 2Ch 13:2<\/span> must then be an error of the scribe for (Maachah), which is the name found in all other places.<\/p>\n Three years – <\/B>More strictly, not much more than two years (compare 1Ki 15:1<\/span>, 1Ki 15:9<\/span>). Any part of a year may, however, in Jewish reckoning, be taken as a year.<\/P> His mothers name was Maachah – <\/B>Or Michaiah, according to the present reading of marginal reference.<\/P> The daughter of Abishalom – <\/B>Absalom seems to have had but one daughter, Tamar 2Sa 14:27<\/span>, so that Maachah must have been, not his daughter, but his grand-daughter. Her father (see the margin) was Uriel of Gibeah whom, therefore, Tamar married. Maachah took her name from her great-grandmother 2Sa 3:3<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Three years: <\/B>See Poole “1Ki 15:1<\/span>“. <\/P> Of Abishalom, <\/B>or, of Absalom<\/I>, as he is called, 2Ch 11:21<\/span>. And because he is here mentioned as a known person, without any addition of his kindred or quality, some conceive that this was Absaloms daughter, called properly Tamar<\/I>, 2Sa 14:27<\/span>, and from her royal grandmother, 2Sa 3:3<\/span> Maachah<\/I>; and that she is called Michaiah<\/I> (which differs not much from Maachah<\/I>) the daughter of Uriel<\/I>, 2Ch 13:2<\/span>, because she was first married to Uriel, as Josephus affirms, Antiq. viii. 3, and afterwards to Rehoboam. Others think this was another person, and that both she and her father had each of them several names, which was not unusual among the Hebrews. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2. Three years reigned he<\/B>(compare1Ki 15:1<\/span>; 1Ki 15:9<\/span>).Parts of years are often counted in Scripture as whole years. Thereign began in Jeroboam’s eighteenth year, continued till thenineteenth, and ended in the course of the twentieth. <\/P> his mother’s name wasMaachah<\/B>or Michaiah (2Ch13:2<\/span>), probably altered from the one to the other on her becomingqueen, as was very common under a change of circumstances. She iscalled the daughter of Abishalom, or Absalom (2Ch11:21<\/span>), of Uriel (2Ch 13:2<\/span>).Hence, it has been thought probable that Tamar, the daughter ofAbsalom (2Sa 14:27<\/span>; 2Sa 18:18<\/span>),had been married to Uriel, and that Maachah was their daughter.<\/P><\/p>\n Three years reigned he in Jerusalem<\/strong>,…. And three only; his reign was short, and indeed not three full years, only one whole year and part of two others; for Asa his son began to reign in the twentieth of Jeroboam, 1Ki 15:9<\/span> so that he reigned part of his eighteenth, this whole nineteenth, and part of his twentieth:<\/p>\n and his mother’s name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom<\/strong>; called Absalom, 2Ch 11:20<\/span>, generally supposed by the Jews to be Absalom the son of David, and which may seem not improbable, since his other two wives were of his father’s family, 2Ch 11:18<\/span>. Josephus says q she was the daughter of Tamar the daughter of Absalom, and so his granddaughter; and which may account for her being called Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah, 2Ch 13:2<\/span> since the difference between Maachah and Michaiah is not very great; and Uriel might he the name of Tamar’s husband; though it is most likely that both father and daughter had two names; she seems to be mentioned here, to observe that she was the cause and means of her son’s disagreeable walk, as follows, see<\/p>\n 1Ki 15:13<\/span>.<\/p>\n q Antiqu. l. 8. c. 10. sect. 1.<\/p>\n (2) Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.<\/strong>The Abishalom<\/em> of this passage, called, in 2Ch. 11:20<\/span>, Absalom<\/em>, is in all probability the rebel son of David, whose mother (2Sa. 3:3<\/span>) was also named Maachah. In 2Ch. 11:21-22<\/span>, it seems that of all the wives (eighteen wives and threescore concubines) whom ehoboam, following the evil traditions of his father, took, she was the favourite, and that even in his lifetime Rehoboam exalted Abijam to be ruler among his brethren. In 2Ch. 13:2<\/span> she is called Michaiah, and said to be the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. This shows that, as indeed chronological considerations would suggest, she must have been the granddaughter of Absalom. She is mentioned below (1Ki. 15:13<\/span>) as prominent in the evil propensity to idolatry.<\/p>\n 1Ki 15:2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
