The Syriac has "Abia, the son of Rehoboam;" and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate has Abia. This is doubtless the true reading, as otherwise it would be an unnecessary repetition of 1 Kings 14:30, and a repetition which interrupts the history of Abijah. - See note on 2 Chronicles 13:3, etc. 1 Kings 14:30 Reciprocal 15:16 - General; 1 Chronicles 3:10 - Rehoboam; 2 Chronicles 13:2 - And there was Verse 7 the rest 1 Kings 14:29; 2 Chronicles 13:2, 13:21, 13:22 there was war 13:3-20 Reciprocal 1 Kings 14:30 - General; 15:16 - General; 15:23 - rest of all; 2 Kings 20:20 - the book Verse 8 am Abijam 1 Kings 14:1, 14:31; 2 Chronicles 14:1 Asa 1 Chronicles 3:9; Matthew 1:7, 1:8 Reciprocal 1 Kings 11:43 - slept; 15:23 - rest of all; 1 Chronicles 3:10 - Asa Verse 9 Reciprocal 2 Chronicles 13:20 - he died Verse 10 am mother'sthat is, grandmother's. 1 Kings 15:2, 15:13; 2 Chronicles 11:20, 11:21, 13:2 Reciprocal 1 Kings 22:42 - And his mother's; 2 Chronicles 15:16 - the mother Verse 11 Asa 1 Kings 15:3; 2 Chronicles 14:2, 14:11, 15:17, 16:7-10 Reciprocal 1 Kings 22:43 - he walked; 2 Kings 18:3 - according; 2 Chronicles 20:32 - the way; 21:12 - in the ways of Asa Verse 12 the sodomites 1 Kings 14:24, 22:46; Romans 1:26, 1:27; Jude 1:7 all the idols 1 Kings 15:3, 11:7, 11:8, 14:23; 2 Chronicles 14:2-5; Ezekiel 20:18, 20:19; Zechariah 1:2-6; 1 Peter 1:18 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 23:17 - sodomite; 2 Kings 18:4 - brake; 23:7 - the sodomites; 2 Chronicles 14:3 - the high places; Hosea 4:14 - and they Verse 13 Maachah 1 Kings 15:2, 15:10; 2 Chronicles 15:15, 15:16-19 his mother Deuteronomy 13:6-11, 33:9; Zechariah 13:3; Matthew 10:37, 12:46-50; 2 Corinthians 5:16; Galatians 2:5, 2:6, 2:14 destroyedHeb. cut off, Leviticus 26:30; Deuteronomy 7:5; 2 Kings 18:4, 23:12-15; 2 Chronicles 34:4 and burnt Exodus 32:20; Deuteronomy 9:21; Joshua 6:24 the brook 2 Samuel 15:23; 2 Kings 23:6; John 18:1, CedronReciprocal Deuteronomy 12:3 - and burn; 1 Kings 2:37 - over the; 18:19 - prophets of the groves; 2 Kings 17:16 - a grove Verse 14 the high places 1 Kings 22:43; 2 Kings 12:3, 14:4, 15:4; 2 Chronicles 14:3, 14:5 was perfect 1 Kings 15:3, 8:61, 11:4; 2 Chronicles 15:17, 15:18, 16:9, 25:2 Reciprocal 1 Kings 3:3 - only he; 2 Kings 18:4 - removed; 20:3 - a perfect heart; 2 Chronicles 14:2 - good and right; 15:16 - cut down; Isaiah 38:3 - a perfect Verse 15 he brought 1 Kings 7:51; 1 Chronicles 26:26-28; 2 Chronicles 14:13, 15:18 thingsHeb. holyReciprocal 1 Kings 15:18 - Asa; 2 Kings 18:15 - General; 1 Chronicles 28:12 - the treasuries Verse 16 1 Kings 15:6, 15:7, 15:32, 14:30; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6 Reciprocal 2 Samuel 3:1 - long war; 1 Kings 15:27 - Baasha the son; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth Verse 17 am Baasha 1 Kings 15:27; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6 RamahBy building Ramah is here meant fortifying it, in order to prevent all intercourse with the kingdom of Judah, lest his subjects should cleave to the house of David: for Ramah was a city of Benjamin, situated on the confines of both kingdoms, probably on a hill, as the name imports, commanding a narrow defile between the mountains, through which lay the principal road to Jerusalem; so that a fortification being erected here, no communication could be held between the people of Israel and Judah, without Baasha's permission. 1 Kings 15:21; Joshua 18:25; 1 Samuel 15:34; Jeremiah 31:15 he might not suffer 1 Kings 12:27; 2 Chronicles 11:13-17 Reciprocal 1 Kings 12:25 - built; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth; Jeremiah 41:9 - for fear Verse 18 Asa 1 Kings 15:15, 14:26; 2 Kings 12:18, 18:15, 18:16; 2 Chronicles 15:18, 16:2-6 Benhadad 1 Kings 20:1-5, 20:33, 20:34; 2 Kings 8:7-15 Damascus 1 Kings 11:23, 11:24; Genesis 14:15, 15:2; Jeremiah 49:27; Amos 1:4 Reciprocal 2 Kings 14:14 - all the gold; 1 Chronicles 26:20 - treasures; 28:12 - the treasuries; 2 Chronicles 12:9 - took away Verse 19 There is a league 2 Chronicles 19:2; Isaiah 31:1 break thy league 2 Samuel 21:2; 2 Chronicles 16:3; Ezekiel 17:13-16; Romans 1:31, 3:8 departHeb. go upReciprocal Genesis 43:11 - carry down; 1 Kings 5:12 - they two; 2 Kings 18:15 - General; Ecclesiastes 2:4 - I builded; Isaiah 9:1 - when Verse 20 IjonProbably the same as Hazar-enan, a frontier town to Damascus - Ezekiel 48:1

Chronologers endeavour to reconcile this, by saying that the years should be reckoned, not from the beginning of Asa's reign, but from the separation of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. We must either adopt this mode of solution, or admit that there is a mistake in some of the numbers, probably in the parallel places in Chronicles, but which we have no direct means of correcting. 15:16 Reciprocal 2 Samuel 3:1 - long war; 2 Chronicles 16:9 - henceforth Verse 33 twenty and four years 1 Kings 16:8 Reciprocal 14:17 - Tirzah; 16:1 - Hanani; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth; Song of Songs 6:4 - as Tirzah Verse 34 he did evil 1 Kings 15:26 walked 15:26, 12:28, 12:29, 13:33, 13:34, 14:16; Isaiah 1:4 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 12:13 - General; 1 Kings 14:9 - hast done; 16:2 - thou hast walked; 16:19 - in his; 21:22 - made Israel to sin; 22:52 - and in the way; 2 Kings 3:3 - which made Verse 1 am Jehu 1 Kings 16:7; 2 Chronicles 19:2, 20:34 Hanani 1 Kings 15:33; 2 Chronicles 16:7-10 Reciprocal 1 Kings 16:12 - according; Jeremiah 32:18 - recompensest Verse 2 I exalted thee 1 Kings 14:7; 1 Samuel 2:8, 2:27, 2:28, 15:17-19; 2 Samuel 12:7-11; Psalm 113:7, 113:8; Luke 1:52 thou hast walked 1 Kings 13:33, 13:34, 15:34 hast made my people 14:16, 15:26; Exodus 32:21; 1 Samuel 2:24, 26:19; Matthew 5:19 Reciprocal 1 Kings 16:7 - the hand; 16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 9:6 - over the people Verse 3 will make thy house 1 Kings 16:11, 16:12, 14:10, 15:29, 15:30, 21:21-24; Isaiah 66:24; Jeremiah 22:19 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 28:59 - General; 1 Kings 11:26 - Jeroboam; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; Job 27:15 - Those Verse 4 shall the dogs eat 1 Kings 14:11 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 28:59 - General; 1 Kings 21:24 - that dieth; Job 27:15 - Those; Isaiah 5:25 - torn; Jeremiah 34:20 - and their Verse 5 am the rest 1 Kings 14:19, 15:31; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6 Reciprocal 1 Kings 16:14 - they not written; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest; 22:39 - the rest Verse 6 am Baasha 1 Kings 14:20, 15:25 Tirzah 14:17, 15:21 Elah 16:8, 16:13, 16:14 Reciprocal 11:43 - slept; 16:28 - So Omri slept; Psalm 49:19 - to the generation Verse 7 the hand 1 Kings 16:1, 16:2 and against his house Exodus 20:5 in provoking 1 Kings 16:13 with the work Psalm 115:4; Isaiah 2:8, 44:9-20 because he killed himThis the Vulgate understands of Jehu the prophet; some think Baasha is intended; others Nadab the son of Jeroboam; and others Jeroboam, whom Baasha destroyed in his posterity by cruelly murdering them all. 1 Kings 14:14, 15:27-29; 2 Kings 10:30, 10:31; Isaiah 10:6, 10:7; Hosea 1:4; Acts 2:23, 4:27, 4:28 Reciprocal Genesis 4:15 - Therefore; 1 Kings 15:26 - he did evil; 16:12 - by Jehu the prophet; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - he walked; 20:16 - Benhadad; 22:53 - provoked; 2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu; 20:34 - Jehu the son of Hanani; Jeremiah 37:2 - the prophet Verse 8 am In the twentyBaasha began to reign in the third year of Asa, and reigned 24 years; yet he died and was succeeded by Elah in the 26th year of Asa; and, in like manner, Elah, who began to reign in the 26th year of Asa, and was killed in the 27th, is said to have reigned two years. Thus it is evident that a part of a year is calculated as a whole year. In the Chinese annals, the whole year in which a king dies is ascribed to his reign, the years of the succeeding king being reckoned only from the beginning of the following year. 1 Kings 16:8 Reciprocal 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 15:33 - twenty and four years; 16:6 - Elah; 16:15 - seven; 16:21 - divided; 16:23 - twelve years; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 15:23 - and reigned two years; 21:19 - two years; Proverbs 28:2 - the transgression Verse 9 his servant 2 Kings 9:31 conspired 1 Kings 15:27; 2 Kings 9:14, 12:20, 15:10, 15:25, 15:30 drinking 1 Kings 20:16; 1 Samuel 25:36-38; 2 Samuel 13:28, 13:29; Proverbs 23:29-35; Jeremiah 51:57; Daniel 5:1-4, 5:30; Nahum 1:10; Habakkuk 2:15, 2:16; Matthew 24:49-51; Luke 21:34 steward ofHeb. which was over, Genesis 15:2, 24:2, 24:10, 39:4, 39:9 Reciprocal 2 Samuel 4:5 - lay on a bed; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 20:12 - drinking; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 21:23 - General; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Esther 2:21 - and sought; Proverbs 23:34 - thou; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 10 Zimri 2 Kings 9:31 reigned 1 Kings 16:15 Reciprocal 16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 15:10 - slew him; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Jeremiah 41:7 - slew; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 11 he slew 1 Kings 15:29; Judges 1:7 he left him 1 Kings 14:10; 1 Samuel 25:22, 25:34 neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friendsor, both his kinsmen and his friendsReciprocal 1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 10:11 - he left Verse 12 according 1 Kings 16:1-4 by Jehu the prophetHeb. by the hand of Jehu the prophet, 16:1, 16:7, 14:18; 2 Kings 14:25; 2 Chronicles 10:15; Proverbs 26:6 Reciprocal 1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 17:16 - by Elijah; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu Verse 13 in provoking 1 Kings 15:30 vanities Deuteronomy 32:21; 1 Samuel 12:21; 2 Kings 17:15; Isaiah 41:29; Jeremiah 10:3-5, 10:8, 10:15; Jonah 2:8; Romans 1:21-23; 1 Corinthians 8:4, 10:19, 10:20 Reciprocal 1 Kings 16:6 - Elah; 16:7 - in provoking; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - their vanities; Acts 14:15 - from Verse 14 they not written 1 Kings 16:5 Reciprocal 14:19 - book; 15:31 - are they not written; 16:6 - Elah; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest Verse 15 seven 1 Kings 16:8; 2 Kings 9:31; Job 20:5; Psalm 37:35 And the people were encamped 1 Kings 15:27; Joshua 19:44, 21:23 Reciprocal 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:21 - Tirzah; 16:10 - reigned; 16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 15:13 - a full month; 15:14 - Tirzah; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 16 Omri 1 Kings 16:30; 2 Kings 8:26; 2 Chronicles 22:2; Micah 6:16 Reciprocal 2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 17 besieged Tirzah Judges 9:45, 9:50, 9:56, 9:57; 2 Kings 6:24, 6:25, 18:9-12, 25:1-4; Luke 19:43, 19:44 Reciprocal 1 Kings 15:27 - Gibbethon; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah Verse 18 and burnt the king's house Judges 9:54; 1 Samuel 31:4, 31:5; 2 Samuel 17:23; Job 2:9, 2:10; Matthew 27:5 Reciprocal 2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 10:4 - Saul took; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Acts 16:27 - he drew Verse 19 in doing 1 Kings 16:7, 16:13, 15:30; Psalm 9:16, 58:9-11 in his 1 Kings 12:28, 14:16, 15:26, 15:34 Reciprocal 16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 3:2 - General; 21:11 - made Judah; Jeremiah 32:35 - to cause Verse 20 the rest 1 Kings 16:5, 16:14, 16:27, 14:19, 15:31, 22:39 Reciprocal 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 21 divided 1 Kings 16:8, 16:29, 15:25, 15:28; Proverbs 28:2; Isaiah 9:18-21, 19:2; Matthew 12:25; 1 Corinthians 1:12, 1:13; Ephesians 4:3-5
Verse 22 Reciprocal Hosea 7:7 - devoured Verse 23 am the thirtyAs it is stated in 1 Kings 16:10 and 16:15, that Zimri began to reign in the 27th year of Asa; and as he reigned only seven days, and Omri immediately succeeded him, this could not be the 31st, but in the 27th year of Asa. Jarchi, from Sedar Olam, reconciles this, by stating that Tibni and Omri began to reign jointly in the 27th year of Asa; and that Tibni dying about five years afterwards, Omri began to reign alone in the 31st year of Asa. 2 Chronicles 22:2 twelve years 1 Kings 16:8, 16:29 Reciprocal Joshua 12:24 - Tirzah; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah Verse 24 the name of the city 1 Kings 13:32, 18:2, 20:1, 22:37; 2 Kings 17:1, 17:6, 17:24; John 4:4, 4:5; Acts 8:5-8 SamariaHeb.

Many learned men have raised doubts on those parts of the Inspired Word, which may, by the perverseness of their argument and the ingenuity of their surmise, be made to appear inconsistent with fact. In this case, they are not satisfied with being expressly told by God that the ravens supplied Elijah with food, while the brook gave him drink, but apparently to mystify a manifest miracle, they suggest whether these ravens might not be merchantmen, or the inhabitants of a neighbouring town. Let any unprejudiced reader and lover of the Bible take the whole history of Elijah, and he will find that his life was almost a daily illustration of the power of God in his miraculous interpositions. Instance the supply of provision in the unwasting barrel of meal and cruse of oil, after the prophet had removed to Zarephath: the power communicated to him to raise the widow's son from death: the wonderful interposition of the Lord to prove the folly of Baal's worshippers, in sending down fire from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice and lick up the water, although the sacrifice had been saturated therewith, and the altar surrounded by a deep trench to prevent its running away. The prayer for rain is another instance: the sojourn in Horeb forty days and forty nights, after having eaten of the cake: the destruction of Ahaziah's messengers twice: the smiting of the waters at Jordan: the fall of the mantle on Elisha, and finally, in the closing scene of life, he was taken to glory without tasting the pains of death, the sting was taken away.Reciprocal Deuteronomy 28:16 - in the field; 1 Kings 18:10 - they found thee not Verse 6 the ravens Exodus 16:35; Numbers 11:23; Judges 14:14, 15:18, 15:19; Psalm 34:9, 34:10, 37:3, 37:19; 78:15, 78:16, 78:23, 78:24; Isaiah 33:16; Jeremiah 37:21, 40:4; Habakkuk 3:17, 3:18; Matthew 6:31-33, 14:19-21, 19:26; Luke 22:35; Habakkuk 3:1, 3:1, 3:1 Reciprocal Genesis 8:7 - a raven; Exodus 2:5 - when she; Leviticus 11:15 - General; 1 Kings 13:28 - the lion had; 19:6 - cake; Job 5:20 - famine; Revelation 12:16 - General Verse 7 am after a whileHeb. at the end of daysthe brook Isaiah 40:30, 40:31, 54:10 Reciprocal Genesis 4:3 - in process of time; 1 Kings 18:1 - in the third year; 2 Chronicles 18:2 - after certain years; Jeremiah 14:3 - pits; Joel 1:20 - the rivers Verse 8 the word 1 Kings 17:2; Genesis 22:14; Isaiah 41:17; Habakkuk 3:1

one of its principal points advancing considerably into the Mediterranean, and forming an elevated promontory. It is described as a flattened cone, about 2,000 feet (some say 1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and the soil neither deep nor rich. Capt. Mangles says its is now quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are some pretty olive-grounds. 1 Kings 18:42, 18:43; Joshua 19:26; 1 Samuel 15:12; 2 Kings 2:25; Jeremiah 46:18; Amos 1:2, 9:3 the prophets of Baal 1 Kings 22:6; 2 Peter 2:1; Revelation 19:20 prophets of the groves 1 Kings 15:13, 16:33; 2 Kings 13:6

Mr. Bruce mentions a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of the Nile. "Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel."
