Melachim Alef 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 ) .

Melachim Alef 15:6 In-Context

4 Nevertheless l’ma’an Dovid (for the sake of Dovid) did Hashem Elohav give him a ner (lamp) in Yerushalayim, to raise up Bno after him, and to establish Yerushalayim;
5 Because Dovid did that which was yashar in the eyes of Hashem, and turned not aside from any thing that He commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriyah HaChitti (the Hittite).
6 And there was milchamah between Rechav‘am and Yarov‘am all the days of his life.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Aviyam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yehudah? And there was milchamah between Aviyam and Yarov‘am.
8 And Aviyam slept with his avot; and they buried him in Ir Dovid; and Asa Bno reigned in his place.
