1 Könige 15:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:2

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem
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, ( 1 Kings 15:9 ) so that he reigned part of his eighteenth, this whole nineteenth, and part of his twentieth:

and his mother's name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom;
called Absalom, ( 2 Chronicles 11:20 2 Chronicles 11:21 ) , 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, ( 2 Chronicles 11:18 ) . Josephus says ^F17 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, ( 2 Chronicles 13:2 ) 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 ( 1 Kings 15:13 ) .

1 Könige 15:2 In-Context

1 Im achtzehnten Jahr des Königs Jerobeam, des Sohnes Nebats, ward Abiam König in Juda,

2 und regierte drei Jahre zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Maacha, eine Tochter Abisaloms.

3 Und er wandelte in allen Sünden seines Vaters, die er vor ihm getan hatte, und sein Herz war nicht rechtschaffen an dem HERRN, seinem Gott, wie das Herz seines Vaters David.

4 Denn um Davids willen gab der HERR, sein Gott, ihm eine Leuchte zu Jerusalem, daß er seinen Sohn nach ihn erweckte und Jerusalem erhielt,

5 darum daß David getan hatte, was dem HERRN wohl gefiel, und nicht gewichen war von allem, was er ihm gebot sein Leben lang, außer dem Handel mit Uria, dem Hethiter.
