Commentary on 1 Kings 14:18

Theological / Devotional

They buried him. The mention of the death and burial of Jeroboam’s son Abijah marks the close of the detailed record of Jeroboam’s reign. There were many other servants, such as the war between Jeroboam and Abijah of Judah (2 Chron. 13:2-20), but all this the narrator in Kings passed by. From all the available material he selected one item, the sickness and death of Abijah, in order to bring home the lesson of judgment on the house of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin.
