1 Kings 14
1 Abijah being sick, Jeroboam sends his wife, disguised, with presents to the prophet Ahijah at Shiloh.5 Ahijah, forewarned by God, denounces God's judgment.17 Abijah dies, and is buried.19 Nadab succeeds Jeroboam.21 Rehoboam's wicked reign.25 Shishak spoils Jerusalem.29 Abijam succeeds Rehoboam. that time.13:33,34the son.12,13; Ex 20:5; 1Sa 4:19,20; 31:2; 2Sa 12:15 disguise thyself.5,6; 22:30; 1Sa 28:8; 2Sa 14:2; 2Ch 18:29; Lu 12:2Ahijah.11:29-38 And take.13:7; 1Sa 9:7,8; 2Ki 4:42; 5:5,15; 8:7-9with thee.

This was certainly not a present that proclaimed royalty; but it does not appear to have been, in the estimation of the East, a present only fit for a country woman to have made, as Bp. Patrick supposes: for D'Arvieux informs us, that when he waited on an Arab emir, his mother and sisters sent him a present of pastry, honey, and fresh butter, with a bason of sweetmeats of Damascus. cruse. or, bottle. he shall tell.2Ki 1:2; 8:8; Lu 7:2,3; Joh 4:47,48; 11:3 Shiloh.11:29; Jos 18:1; 1Sa 4:3,4; Jer 7:12-14for his eyes.Ge 27:1; 48:10; De 34:7; 1Sa 3:2; 4:15; Ps 90:10; Ec 12:3were set by reason of his age.

It seems to have been the royal city, and the seat of government for a long time after the revolt of the ten tribes, till Omri built Samaria. 15:21,33; 16:6,8,9,15,23; Jos 12:24; So 6:4when she came.12,13; 1Sa 2:20-34; 4:18-20 18 A.M. 3029-3050.

The Syriac is the same. The Septuagint in the London Polyglott has [Abiou,] Abihu; but in the Complutensian and Antwerp Polyglotts it has [Abia,] Abiah; and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate, some MSS. and the text in these two Polyglotts, instead of Abiam, have Abia. 1Ch 3:10Abia.2Ch 12:16Abijah.Mt 1:7Abia.
