2 Reinou três anos em Jerusalém. Era o nome de sua mãe Maacá, filha de Absalão.

1 Reis 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 Reis 15:2 In-Context

1 No décimo oitavo ano do rei Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, começou Abião a reinar sobre Judá.

2 Reinou três anos em Jerusalém. Era o nome de sua mãe Maacá, filha de Absalão.

3 Ele andou em todos os pecados que seu pai tinha cometido antes dele; o seu coração não foi perfeito para com o Senhor seu Deus como o coração de Davi, seu pai.

4 Mas por amor de Davi o Senhor lhe deu uma lâmpada em Jerusalém, levantando a seu filho depois dele, e confirmando a Jerusalem;

5 porque Davi fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, e não se desviou de tudo o que lhe ordenou em todos os dias da sua vida, a não ser no caso de Urias, o heteu.
