The Syriac has "Abia, the son of Rehoboam;" and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate has Abia. This is doubtless the true reading, as otherwise it would be an unnecessary repetition of 1 Kings 14:30, and a repetition which interrupts the history of Abijah. - See note on 2 Chronicles 13:3, etc. 1 Kings 14:30Reciprocal15:16 - General; 1 Chronicles 3:10 - Rehoboam; 2 Chronicles 13:2 - And there was Verse 7the rest1 Kings 14:29; 2 Chronicles 13:2, 13:21, 13:22 there was war13:3-20Reciprocal1 Kings 14:30 - General; 15:16 - General; 15:23 - rest of all; 2 Kings 20:20 - the book Verse 8 amAbijam1 Kings 14:1, 14:31; 2 Chronicles 14:1 Asa1 Chronicles 3:9; Matthew 1:7, 1:8Reciprocal1 Kings 11:43 - slept; 15:23 - rest of all; 1 Chronicles 3:10 - Asa Verse 9Reciprocal2 Chronicles 13:20 - he died Verse 10 ammother'sthat is, grandmother's. 1 Kings 15:2, 15:13; 2 Chronicles 11:20, 11:21, 13:2Reciprocal1 Kings 22:42 - And his mother's; 2 Chronicles 15:16 - the mother Verse 11Asa1 Kings 15:3; 2 Chronicles 14:2, 14:11, 15:17, 16:7-10Reciprocal1 Kings 22:43 - he walked; 2 Kings 18:3 - according; 2 Chronicles 20:32 - the way; 21:12 - in the ways of Asa Verse 12the sodomites1 Kings 14:24, 22:46; Romans 1:26, 1:27; Jude 1:7 all the idols1 Kings 15:3, 11:7, 11:8, 14:23; 2 Chronicles 14:2-5; Ezekiel 20:18, 20:19; Zechariah 1:2-6; 1 Peter 1:18ReciprocalDeuteronomy 23:17 - sodomite; 2 Kings 18:4 - brake; 23:7 - the sodomites; 2 Chronicles 14:3 - the high places; Hosea 4:14 - and they Verse 13Maachah1 Kings 15:2, 15:10; 2 Chronicles 15:15, 15:16-19 his motherDeuteronomy 13:6-11, 33:9; Zechariah 13:3; Matthew 10:37, 12:46-50; 2 Corinthians 5:16; Galatians 2:5, 2:6, 2:14 destroyedHeb. cut off, Leviticus 26:30; Deuteronomy 7:5; 2 Kings 18:4, 23:12-15; 2 Chronicles 34:4 and burntExodus 32:20; Deuteronomy 9:21; Joshua 6:24 the brook2 Samuel 15:23; 2 Kings 23:6; John 18:1, CedronReciprocalDeuteronomy 12:3 - and burn; 1 Kings 2:37 - over the; 18:19 - prophets of the groves; 2 Kings 17:16 - a grove Verse 14the high places1 Kings 22:43; 2 Kings 12:3, 14:4, 15:4; 2 Chronicles 14:3, 14:5 was perfect1 Kings 15:3, 8:61, 11:4; 2 Chronicles 15:17, 15:18, 16:9, 25:2Reciprocal1 Kings 3:3 - only he; 2 Kings 18:4 - removed; 20:3 - a perfect heart; 2 Chronicles 14:2 - good and right; 15:16 - cut down; Isaiah 38:3 - a perfect Verse 15he brought1 Kings 7:51; 1 Chronicles 26:26-28; 2 Chronicles 14:13, 15:18 thingsHeb. holyReciprocal1 Kings 15:18 - Asa; 2 Kings 18:15 - General; 1 Chronicles 28:12 - the treasuries Verse 161 Kings 15:6, 15:7, 15:32, 14:30; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6Reciprocal2 Samuel 3:1 - long war; 1 Kings 15:27 - Baasha the son; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth Verse 17 amBaasha1 Kings 15:27; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6 RamahBy building Ramah is here meant fortifying it, in order to prevent all intercourse with the kingdom of Judah, lest his subjects should cleave to the house of David: for Ramah was a city of Benjamin, situated on the confines of both kingdoms, probably on a hill, as the name imports, commanding a narrow defile between the mountains, through which lay the principal road to Jerusalem; so that a fortification being erected here, no communication could be held between the people of Israel and Judah, without Baasha's permission. 1 Kings 15:21; Joshua 18:25; 1 Samuel 15:34; Jeremiah 31:15 he might not suffer1 Kings 12:27; 2 Chronicles 11:13-17Reciprocal1 Kings 12:25 - built; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth; Jeremiah 41:9 - for fear Verse 18Asa1 Kings 15:15, 14:26; 2 Kings 12:18, 18:15, 18:16; 2 Chronicles 15:18, 16:2-6 Benhadad1 Kings 20:1-5, 20:33, 20:34; 2 Kings 8:7-15 Damascus1 Kings 11:23, 11:24; Genesis 14:15, 15:2; Jeremiah 49:27; Amos 1:4Reciprocal2 Kings 14:14 - all the gold; 1 Chronicles 26:20 - treasures; 28:12 - the treasuries; 2 Chronicles 12:9 - took away Verse 19There is a league2 Chronicles 19:2; Isaiah 31:1 break thy league2 Samuel 21:2; 2 Chronicles 16:3; Ezekiel 17:13-16; Romans 1:31, 3:8 departHeb. go upReciprocalGenesis 43:11 - carry down; 1 Kings 5:12 - they two; 2 Kings 18:15 - General; Ecclesiastes 2:4 - I builded; Isaiah 9:1 - when Verse 20IjonProbably the same as Hazar-enan, a frontier town to Damascus - Ezekiel 48:1

Chronologers endeavour to reconcile this, by saying that the years should be reckoned, not from the beginning of Asa's reign, but from the separation of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. We must either adopt this mode of solution, or admit that there is a mistake in some of the numbers, probably in the parallel places in Chronicles, but which we have no direct means of correcting. 15:16Reciprocal2 Samuel 3:1 - long war; 2 Chronicles 16:9 - henceforth Verse 33twenty and four years1 Kings 16:8Reciprocal14:17 - Tirzah; 16:1 - Hanani; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth; Song of Songs 6:4 - as Tirzah Verse 34he did evil1 Kings 15:26 walked15:26, 12:28, 12:29, 13:33, 13:34, 14:16; Isaiah 1:4ReciprocalDeuteronomy 12:13 - General; 1 Kings 14:9 - hast done; 16:2 - thou hast walked; 16:19 - in his; 21:22 - made Israel to sin; 22:52 - and in the way; 2 Kings 3:3 - which made Verse 1 amJehu1 Kings 16:7; 2 Chronicles 19:2, 20:34 Hanani1 Kings 15:33; 2 Chronicles 16:7-10Reciprocal1 Kings 16:12 - according; Jeremiah 32:18 - recompensest Verse 2I exalted thee1 Kings 14:7; 1 Samuel 2:8, 2:27, 2:28, 15:17-19; 2 Samuel 12:7-11; Psalm 113:7, 113:8; Luke 1:52 thou hast walked1 Kings 13:33, 13:34, 15:34 hast made my people14:16, 15:26; Exodus 32:21; 1 Samuel 2:24, 26:19; Matthew 5:19Reciprocal1 Kings 16:7 - the hand; 16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 9:6 - over the people Verse 3will make thy house1 Kings 16:11, 16:12, 14:10, 15:29, 15:30, 21:21-24; Isaiah 66:24; Jeremiah 22:19ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:59 - General; 1 Kings 11:26 - Jeroboam; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; Job 27:15 - Those Verse 4shall the dogs eat1 Kings 14:11ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:59 - General; 1 Kings 21:24 - that dieth; Job 27:15 - Those; Isaiah 5:25 - torn; Jeremiah 34:20 - and their Verse 5 amthe rest1 Kings 14:19, 15:31; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6Reciprocal1 Kings 16:14 - they not written; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest; 22:39 - the rest Verse 6 amBaasha1 Kings 14:20, 15:25 Tirzah14:17, 15:21 Elah16:8, 16:13, 16:14Reciprocal11:43 - slept; 16:28 - So Omri slept; Psalm 49:19 - to the generation Verse 7the hand1 Kings 16:1, 16:2 and against his houseExodus 20:5 in provoking1 Kings 16:13 with the workPsalm 115:4; Isaiah 2:8, 44:9-20 because he killed himThis the Vulgate understands of Jehu the prophet; some think Baasha is intended; others Nadab the son of Jeroboam; and others Jeroboam, whom Baasha destroyed in his posterity by cruelly murdering them all. 1 Kings 14:14, 15:27-29; 2 Kings 10:30, 10:31; Isaiah 10:6, 10:7; Hosea 1:4; Acts 2:23, 4:27, 4:28ReciprocalGenesis 4:15 - Therefore; 1 Kings 15:26 - he did evil; 16:12 - by Jehu the prophet; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - he walked; 20:16 - Benhadad; 22:53 - provoked; 2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu; 20:34 - Jehu the son of Hanani; Jeremiah 37:2 - the prophet Verse 8 amIn the twentyBaasha began to reign in the third year of Asa, and reigned 24 years; yet he died and was succeeded by Elah in the 26th year of Asa; and, in like manner, Elah, who began to reign in the 26th year of Asa, and was killed in the 27th, is said to have reigned two years. Thus it is evident that a part of a year is calculated as a whole year. In the Chinese annals, the whole year in which a king dies is ascribed to his reign, the years of the succeeding king being reckoned only from the beginning of the following year. 1 Kings 16:8Reciprocal14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 15:33 - twenty and four years; 16:6 - Elah; 16:15 - seven; 16:21 - divided; 16:23 - twelve years; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 15:23 - and reigned two years; 21:19 - two years; Proverbs 28:2 - the transgression Verse 9his servant2 Kings 9:31 conspired1 Kings 15:27; 2 Kings 9:14, 12:20, 15:10, 15:25, 15:30 drinking1 Kings 20:16; 1 Samuel 25:36-38; 2 Samuel 13:28, 13:29; Proverbs 23:29-35; Jeremiah 51:57; Daniel 5:1-4, 5:30; Nahum 1:10; Habakkuk 2:15, 2:16; Matthew 24:49-51; Luke 21:34 steward ofHeb. which was over, Genesis 15:2, 24:2, 24:10, 39:4, 39:9Reciprocal2 Samuel 4:5 - lay on a bed; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 20:12 - drinking; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 21:23 - General; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Esther 2:21 - and sought; Proverbs 23:34 - thou; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 10Zimri2 Kings 9:31 reigned1 Kings 16:15Reciprocal16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 15:10 - slew him; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Jeremiah 41:7 - slew; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 11he slew1 Kings 15:29; Judges 1:7 he left him1 Kings 14:10; 1 Samuel 25:22, 25:34 neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friendsor, both his kinsmen and his friendsReciprocal1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 10:11 - he left Verse 12according1 Kings 16:1-4 by Jehu the prophetHeb. by the hand of Jehu the prophet, 16:1, 16:7, 14:18; 2 Kings 14:25; 2 Chronicles 10:15; Proverbs 26:6Reciprocal1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 17:16 - by Elijah; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu Verse 13in provoking1 Kings 15:30 vanitiesDeuteronomy 32:21; 1 Samuel 12:21; 2 Kings 17:15; Isaiah 41:29; Jeremiah 10:3-5, 10:8, 10:15; Jonah 2:8; Romans 1:21-23; 1 Corinthians 8:4, 10:19, 10:20Reciprocal1 Kings 16:6 - Elah; 16:7 - in provoking; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - their vanities; Acts 14:15 - from Verse 14they not written1 Kings 16:5Reciprocal14:19 - book; 15:31 - are they not written; 16:6 - Elah; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest Verse 15seven1 Kings 16:8; 2 Kings 9:31; Job 20:5; Psalm 37:35 And the people were encamped1 Kings 15:27; Joshua 19:44, 21:23Reciprocal1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:21 - Tirzah; 16:10 - reigned; 16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 15:13 - a full month; 15:14 - Tirzah; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 16Omri1 Kings 16:30; 2 Kings 8:26; 2 Chronicles 22:2; Micah 6:16Reciprocal2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 17besieged TirzahJudges 9:45, 9:50, 9:56, 9:57; 2 Kings 6:24, 6:25, 18:9-12, 25:1-4; Luke 19:43, 19:44Reciprocal1 Kings 15:27 - Gibbethon; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah Verse 18and burnt the king's houseJudges 9:54; 1 Samuel 31:4, 31:5; 2 Samuel 17:23; Job 2:9, 2:10; Matthew 27:5Reciprocal2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 10:4 - Saul took; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Acts 16:27 - he drew Verse 19in doing1 Kings 16:7, 16:13, 15:30; Psalm 9:16, 58:9-11 in his1 Kings 12:28, 14:16, 15:26, 15:34Reciprocal16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 3:2 - General; 21:11 - made Judah; Jeremiah 32:35 - to cause Verse 20the rest1 Kings 16:5, 16:14, 16:27, 14:19, 15:31, 22:39Reciprocal1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 21divided1 Kings 16:8, 16:29, 15:25, 15:28; Proverbs 28:2; Isaiah 9:18-21, 19:2; Matthew 12:25; 1 Corinthians 1:12, 1:13; Ephesians 4:3-5

Verse 22ReciprocalHosea 7:7 - devoured Verse 23 amthe thirtyAs it is stated in 1 Kings 16:10 and 16:15, that Zimri began to reign in the 27th year of Asa; and as he reigned only seven days, and Omri immediately succeeded him, this could not be the 31st, but in the 27th year of Asa. Jarchi, from Sedar Olam, reconciles this, by stating that Tibni and Omri began to reign jointly in the 27th year of Asa; and that Tibni dying about five years afterwards, Omri began to reign alone in the 31st year of Asa. 2 Chronicles 22:2 twelve years1 Kings 16:8, 16:29ReciprocalJoshua 12:24 - Tirzah; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah Verse 24the name of the city1 Kings 13:32, 18:2, 20:1, 22:37; 2 Kings 17:1, 17:6, 17:24; John 4:4, 4:5; Acts 8:5-8 SamariaHeb.

Many learned men have raised doubts on those parts of the Inspired Word, which may, by the perverseness of their argument and the ingenuity of their surmise, be made to appear inconsistent with fact. In this case, they are not satisfied with being expressly told by God that the ravens supplied Elijah with food, while the brook gave him drink, but apparently to mystify a manifest miracle, they suggest whether these ravens might not be merchantmen, or the inhabitants of a neighbouring town. Let any unprejudiced reader and lover of the Bible take the whole history of Elijah, and he will find that his life was almost a daily illustration of the power of God in his miraculous interpositions. Instance the supply of provision in the unwasting barrel of meal and cruse of oil, after the prophet had removed to Zarephath: the power communicated to him to raise the widow's son from death: the wonderful interposition of the Lord to prove the folly of Baal's worshippers, in sending down fire from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice and lick up the water, although the sacrifice had been saturated therewith, and the altar surrounded by a deep trench to prevent its running away. The prayer for rain is another instance: the sojourn in Horeb forty days and forty nights, after having eaten of the cake: the destruction of Ahaziah's messengers twice: the smiting of the waters at Jordan: the fall of the mantle on Elisha, and finally, in the closing scene of life, he was taken to glory without tasting the pains of death, the sting was taken away.ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:16 - in the field; 1 Kings 18:10 - they found thee not

one of its principal points advancing considerably into the Mediterranean, and forming an elevated promontory. It is described as a flattened cone, about 2,000 feet (some say 1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and the soil neither deep nor rich. Capt. Mangles says its is now quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are some pretty olive-grounds. 1 Kings 18:42, 18:43; Joshua 19:26; 1 Samuel 15:12; 2 Kings 2:25; Jeremiah 46:18; Amos 1:2, 9:3 the prophets of Baal1 Kings 22:6; 2 Peter 2:1; Revelation 19:20 prophets of the groves1 Kings 15:13, 16:33; 2 Kings 13:6

"Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel."
