1 Kings 15:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:6

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of
his life.
] Not the days of Rehoboam, though that was true, and is observed, ( 1 Kings 14:30 ) , but all the days of Abijam, before he came to the throne, and in which, when a young man, he was concerned, and which still continued between him and Jeroboam; though some think he is called by his father's name, as Rehoboam is called David, ( 1 Kings 12:16 ) .

1 Kings 15:6 In-Context

4 But despite that, out of respect for David, his God graciously gave him a lamp, a son to follow him and keep Jerusalem secure.

5 For David had lived an exemplary life before God all his days, not going off on his own in willful defiance of God's clear directions (except for that time with Uriah the Hittite).

6 But war continued between Abijah and Jeroboam the whole time.

7 The rest of Abijah's life, everything he did, is written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. But the war with Jeroboam was the dominant theme.

8 Abijah died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Asa was king after him.
