2 Chronicles 13:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:21

But Abijah waxed mighty
In his kingdom, increasing in riches and numbers, power and authority, and in his family:

and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons and sixteen
daughters;
not after the above battle, nor since he began to reign; for he reigned but three years; but he, no doubt, married wives and had children before he came to the throne, as he might have others after.
