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 for David's sake the LORD his God made Abijam a lamp in Jerusalem. He appointed David's descendant to rule after him and protected Jerusalem.

5 The LORD did this because David did what the LORD considered right: David never failed to do anything the LORD commanded him to do his entire life (except in the matter concerning Uriah the Hittite).

6 There was war between Abijam and Rehoboam throughout their lives.

7 Isn't everything else about Abijam--everything he did--written in the official records of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Abijam lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
