1 Kings 15
Bible version
Commentary
1 Kings 15 is a chapter that focuses on the reign of King Abijam of Judah. Abijam was the son of King Rehoboam and the grandson of King Solomon. He was the third king of Judah and reigned for three years. The chapter begins with a brief overview of Abijam's reign. It is noted that he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, but that he did not remove the high places of worship that his father had set up. This is significant because it shows that Abijam was not as devoted to the Lord as his father had been. The chapter then goes on to describe the reign of King Asa, Abijam's son. Asa was a righteous king who removed the high places of worship and destroyed the idols that had been set up by his father. He also made a covenant with the Lord and sought to lead the people of Judah in righteousness. The chapter ends with a brief description of the reign of King Jehoshaphat, Asa's son. Jehoshaphat was a righteous king who followed in the footsteps of his father and sought to lead the people of Judah in righteousness. Overall, 1 Kings 15 provides a brief overview of the reigns of three kings of Judah. It shows that Abijam was not as devoted to the Lord as his father had been, but that his son Asa and grandson Jehoshaphat were both righteous kings who sought to lead the people of Judah in righteousness.
