Commentary on 2 Chronicles 13:2
Theological / DevotionalMichaiah the daughter of Uriel. The parallel account reads: “Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom” (1 Kings 15:2). According to 2 Chron. 11:20-22 Abijah was the son of “Maachah the daughter of Absalom.” It thus seems evident that “Michaiah” is another form of “Maachah.” If Maachah was the granddaughter of Absalom, and a daughter of Tamar, who was the daughter of Absalom (see on 1 Kings 15:2), then Uriel of Gibeah must have been the husband of Tamar.
There was war. Compare 1 Kings 15:7, where this war is mentioned in the closing formula of Abijah’s reign.
